Manager
Having worked within the care sector since 2007, I am passionate about providing high-quality, person-centred care that enhances the lives and wellbeing of every resident. Throughout my career, I have progressed through a variety of leadership roles, gaining extensive experience in residential and nursing care services, operational management, and regulatory compliance.
I take great pride in supporting both residents and staff, ensuring that our homes provide a safe, compassionate, and welcoming environment where people feel valued, respected, and truly at home. Seeing residents happy, comfortable, and enjoying the best possible quality of life is the most rewarding part of my role.
I work closely with care teams to maintain high standards across our services, support continuous improvement, and ensure we continue to deliver the excellent level of care our homes are known for. I am passionate about developing strong teams and continually improving outcomes for residents and their families.
Deputy Manager
I've been part of the Oaklands Nursing Home team since 2008 and have gained experience working across all areas of the home. Early on, I found my passion in care, especially in building meaningful relationships with our ladies and gentlemen and supporting them in a way that puts them at the heart of everything we do.
One of the most rewarding parts of my role is seeing people enjoying their lives here at Oaklands – those everyday moments and smiles really do mean everything.
Over the past few years, I've focused on developing my career, progressing from Care Assistant to Senior Care Assistant, and now into my current role as Deputy Manager. Alongside this, I've completed my Level 5 in Management, which has helped me grow in confidence and leadership.
I'm excited to keep building on this and to continue supporting both our team and our residents, making sure we maintain the high standards of care Oaklands is known for.
