Trusted to care

A closely-knit team of managers, carers, nurses and support colleagues – and each of us is dedicated to your loved one’s care, health and wellbeing.

The most important part of my role is to ensure residents are safe and living their very best lives every day at The Willows. I love walking around the home and seeing residents smile, laugh and sing.

I feel incredibly proud of the team here, they are fantastic at looking after everybody and really have a positive impact on residents lives. We have a good rapport with families, and they know that they can go home after a visit, knowing that their loved ones are in good hands.

As with most jobs, you need to have good time management skills, be flexible and respectful of others. It helps to be patient and have a good sense of humour too.

Before joining The Willows, I was a peripatetic manager looking after homes without a permanent manager. I have level two, three, four and five NVQs in Health and Social care, and a certificate in management.

A big career highlight for me was being part of the team that won Region of the Year in 2023 and the Sales and Marketing Award in the same year.

In my free time, I love going out and about in our caravan, walking the dog and spending time with my family. When I get the chance I visit my son and two grandsons in Australia.
