I am a dedicated, empathetic and hard-working Care Manager with 32 years’ experience in the care industry. I have had the opportunity to gain experience across a wide spectrum of services including mental health, learning disabilities, secure services and dementia homes, also managing a training department in a private hospital.

I am passionate about increasing standards of care and kindness through a collaborative working approach with all teams within the home to ensure the best person-centred outcomes for all residents residing at Florence House.

I have been the Registered Manager at the Place Up Hanley Care Home since September 2023. I have worked in various roles over the past 25 years in the adult social care sector.

It has been a pleasure working with The Place Up Hanley team, we have worked hard to improve the quality of care and outcomes for our residents.

Our vision is to provide opportunities for the staff team to be involved, learn, develop their skills and progress in their career. I welcome and appreciate feedback and suggestions to help the home continue to improve and go from strength to strength.
