I have worked in the Care Sector for just over 25 years starting my journey has a ‘Saturday Girl’, supporting elderly people in a residential care home to shower . During these years I have held senior care positions, working in Residential, EMI and Nursing Homes. I have experienced working with Adults with Learning disabilities. I worked in a private home for 6 years where I started as a support working ,progressing to senior and further progression to Deputy Manager .

I joined the care team at School Court in 2013 initially a carer ,working the night shift . I took the opportunity to move onto the days and progressed to become a Team Leader and then further progression to my present position . I do enjoy my job tremendously and work with a great team. I feel strongly that we should enable people in care to remain as independent as possible and focus on supporting them to enjoy their remaining years, doing whatever makes them happy.
