Karen Champion
General Manager
Hi, my name is Karen, and I am the General Manager here at The Hawthorns.
I began my career in the insurance and power generation industries and followed my heart into nursing and becoming a Registered Nurse. My nursing journey has allowed me to work within both hospital and complex care services before moving into management and becoming a Chartered Manager. I joined Barchester Healthcare in 2021 as Operations Manager for the Hospitals and Complex Care Division.#
My passion is empowering others, whether that be empowering residents and families to become involved in planning and decisions around their care and support needs or empowering staff to lead their self-development and meet their career goals.
