Steven was introduced at Perton Manor as the Home Manager in September 2022, bringing with him 25 years of experience of working within the care home sector.  Steve is a Registered Nurse in Adult care and qualified back in 2004 having trained at the University of Wolverhampton.

Steve is very proud of the fact that his career in care homes stemmed from working in the capacity of a Health Care Assistant for 5 years, and it was this foundation that inspired him to pursue a career in nursing.  Following graduation, Steve worked as a registered nurse in a specialist home for younger adults who had suffered Acquired Brain Injuries, or who were born with degenerative neurological disorders such as Huntington’s Disease, Multiple Sclerosis and Motor Neurone Disease.  Steve finally decided to move into dementia care and Home Management in 2009 and since this time he was worked in the capacity of Operations Support Manager and eventually a Regional Director of Operations for a large corporate care provider.

Steve was attracted to Perton Manor after reading about the values and culture which we embrace, along with the goals and vision of the company.  Having worked for very large care providers, Steve was inspired by the stories of success we had achieved for some of our very complex residents and was keen to move into a work environment that was more person centred and where the focus was always around providing outstanding care for our residents in the least restrictive way.

 “Perton Manor has reminded me of how the core values of our profession should be applied into the care service our residents receive.  The team have shown me nothing but ‘Kindness’ and ‘Fairness’ in all aspects of their daily interventions, which is being led by a central management team who thrive on ‘Ambition’ and ‘Collaboration’ at their core.  This has undeniably reinvigorated the passion and motivation for care that originally brought me into this wonderful profession.”

Amy took on the role of Acting Assistant Care Manager in 2022, after working her way up the ranks from Care Practitioner, where she began when joining the company in 2014.

After developing her skills within the Care Practitioner role, Amy was promoted to Senior Care Practitioner in 2017. A further promotion to Care Team Lead followed shortly after this. The Care Team Lead role required taking responsibility for allocating duties to care staff, completing staff supervisions and overseeing the efficiency and care practice delivered on shift.

Amy went on to complete a Level 3 Diploma in Health & Social Care within the company, allowing her to develop further and gain a more in depth understanding of the client group she was working with.

Amy then had a period of Maternity Leave in 2018, but returned to her role of Care Team Lead shortly after.

“I have built on my knowledge and skill since joining the company and appreciate the opportunities that have been provided for me. I enjoy learning new things every day and being able to broaden my knowledge surrounding care and the company. Every day is different here and I look forward to what the future holds”.
