I have worked at Pinxton Manor for just over 22 years, starting as a Care Assistant with only a year of community care experience. Over time, I progressed to Senior Care Assistant after completing my NVQ Level 2, and also became a Moving and Handling Trainer. I continued my development with NVQ Levels 3 and 4, alongside a leadership and management course, before moving into roles as Care Supervisor and then Deputy Manager. Becoming Manager was never something I had planned, so when I was asked to step into the role, I felt both surprised and honoured. Having lived in the village all my life, it means a great deal to me to provide high-quality care to people I have often known for many years, as well as those new to the community. I have now been in the Manager role for 10 years, navigating many challenges including COVID, and I remain incredibly proud of the strong team and community spirit we’ve built together at Pinxton Manor.
Care wasn’t something I originally planned to go into, but after raising my two daughters, I wanted to do something for myself and decided to try working in a care home. It turned out to be one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I find so much joy in seeing the happiness and comfort we can bring to residents each day. Creating and maintaining a warm, family-like environment is at the heart of what we do, and we extend that feeling to everyone who walks through our doors, including families and friends.
I would say my strengths lie in supporting others and being there when people need me most. I find it especially meaningful to help families spend quality time with their loved ones, particularly during end-of-life care, where compassion and understanding are so important.
My approach is to be open, honest, and approachable at all times. I believe in treating everyone fairly and making sure residents, families, and staff feel supported, listened to, and valued.
Family is everything to me, and that belief carries through into my work. It helps me support residents and their loved ones in maintaining strong family connections, especially during difficult and emotional times.
