Our team at
Sleaford Manor

I bring a range of experience and qualifications to my role as deputy manager at Sleaford Manor. I hold NVQ Level 2 and 3 qualifications and earlier in my career, I worked within the NHS at a local hospital, where I developed a strong foundation of clinical skills and a real appreciation for compassionate, high-quality care. I later joined Sleaford Manor as a Day Lead, which gave me valuable insight into the home and the needs of both residents and colleagues.

For me, being a Deputy Manager is about listening and being present. I believe it is important to always be on hand for residents and colleagues, no matter how busy the day may be. Creating a supportive, calm and responsive environment helps everyone feel valued and confident.

My favourite part of the day is seeing residents happy and engaged. Watching them connect with others and enjoy their day makes me very happy. I am proud when I see a settled home and a strong, positive team working together.

Becoming Deputy Manager has been a real career highlight for me, especially working alongside such kind, caring and dedicated people. I feel proud knowing we are making a difference together.

The most important part of my role is ensuring that every resident receives truly person-centred care and that everyone in the home feels happy, supported and at ease.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time away with my partner and our dogs. I also love crafting and quilting, which I find both relaxing and creative.

I am the Home Administrator at Sleaford Manor and bring a broad range of experience to my role. I hold Level 2 and 3 qualifications in Business Administration, have completed various computer courses, and hold a NEBOSH General Certificate. I also have a first-class honours degree in Psychotherapy and previously worked as a psychotherapist, alongside more than 15 years’ experience as an administrator across a variety of industries.

Organisation is at the heart of what I do, and I would describe myself as someone with a real eye for detail. I enjoy thinking creatively, staying flexible and working with integrity, while always approaching people with empathy and strong communication skills. These qualities help me support residents, relatives and colleagues in a calm and effective way.

My favourite part of the day is problem solving. Every day is different, and I enjoy finding solutions that help the home run smoothly and make a positive difference for the people around me. I am proud that people feel comfortable coming to me for support and trust that I will do my best to help.

One of my biggest career highlights was building a brand-new department within an organisation and putting policies, procedures and administrative systems in place from the ground up.

The most important part of my role is being a welcoming first point of contact for colleagues, families and residents, helping everyone feel supported from the moment they arrive.

Outside of work, I own horses which keep me very busy. I am also passionate about health, nutrition and fitness, love music, and most importantly enjoy being a mum.
