I ran my own business for 4 years locally prior to joining here at the lovely Kingsland House Care Home.
In my past roles I have managed a shop for 14 years which also involved managing the accounts.
Having lived in Shoreham all my life I have a good connection and knowledge of the local community.
My love to help people is what made me want to join Kingsland and since being at Kingsland for nearly 4 months have absolutely loved being part of this team and it has been great getting to know the residents and their families too.

I have been working in care for 15 years after training as a nurse in Zimbabwe. Since joining the wonderful residents and team at Kingsland 2 years ago I have really found my feet and love being part of an extended family.
