I am a dedicated and experienced leader with over thirty years’ experience within Health and Social Care, including more than twenty years in management and leadership roles. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of leading and managing residential, nursing and supported housing services, supporting adults with a wide range of complex needs, including learning disabilities, mental health conditions, dementia and palliative care needs.

My passion has always been to ensure that people receive high-quality, compassionate and truly person-centred care. I believe that every individual should be treated with dignity and respect, with their choices, wishes and personal goals at the heart of the care and support they receive.

My leadership style is built around openness, support and nurture. I believe in creating a positive working environment where staff feel valued, listened to and encouraged to develop, as I recognise that a confident, supported and motivated team is fundamental to delivering exceptional standards of care.

I am delighted to be joining Perton Manor and very much look forward to working alongside the team, sharing my knowledge and experience, and building on the excellent work already taking place within the home.

I am excited to contribute to Perton Manor’s continued development and, most importantly, to help ensure that our residents receive exceptional care, meaningful opportunities and the support they need to live fulfilling and enriched lives.

I started my role as a Care Practitioner on March 1st, 2021. Since then, I have remained a dedicated and compassionate professional with a strong commitment to delivering high‑quality, person‑centred care. Through my work, I have developed a deep understanding of our clients' needs and the importance of promoting dignity, independence, and overall wellbeing.

In 2023, I was promoted to Senior Care Practitioner, and shortly afterwards, my skills and leadership potential led to a further promotion to Care Team Lead. In this role, I strengthened my leadership abilities, effectively allocated duties to staff, and ensured that clients consistently received exceptional standards of care.

Most recently, I have stepped into the position of Assistant Care Manager. I take great pride in supporting both clients and staff, fostering a positive and supportive environment, and ensuring that the highest standards of care are upheld. My responsibilities include assisting with the coordination of care services, overseeing daily operations, and ensuring compliance with regulatory and organisational standards. I am particularly passionate about team development, effective communication, and creating a culture where both staff and clients feel valued.

I am driven by the desire to make a meaningful difference in people's lives and remain committed to continually developing my skills, knowledge, and professional practice within the care sector.
