I have worked in the care sector since 2000 and at Lydfords from 2015. Previous to that, I worked in banking for 23 years. I enjoy my role, which is varied and fulfilling, and I have a good rapport with residents and their families.

I’m kept busy outside of work with the usual family commitments, which include four young grandchildren and my passion for sea fishing.

Hello, my name is Carole. I have worked at Lydfords Care Home for over 6 years as Activities Coordinator.
