I have been a qualified learning disability nurse since 1988, but before joining Caledonian Court as Home Manager, I was working as a Regional Support Manager. I was keen to join Care UK because of its good reputation.

To be a Home Manager, it's important to be logical, organised, honest, and a good communicator, listener and problem solver. It’s also important to have a good clinical skill base and knowledge of legislation and regulations, and to be firm but fair.

The most important part of my role is ensuring we deliver the best possible care for residents. I’m proud to be part of this team continuing to improve Caledonian Court and its outcomes for residents.

When I’m not working, I enjoy spending time with my family, rugby, cycling, travelling, reading, listening to music and chilling with my friends.
