I have worked in care service for over 15 years. I qualified as a Registered Nurse in 2006 and have various skills

I have worked at Marple Dale for seven years and I am the Unit Manager of Windsor Ground Floor which cares for younger people who have a physical disability where I am responsible for supporting, supervising and developing care staff to ensure that we provide the very best care to our residents along with monitoring and maintaining standards

I enjoy getting to know the residents and their families and feel that we are like one big family.

I have been employed at Marple Dale since 2004.

I started work as a Care Assistant and at the age of 20 through gaining my NVQ Level 2 & 3 I became the Head of Unit on for Clarence House.

I am incredibly passionate about my role and find supporting people to lead a full and meaningful life very rewarding.

I have been a registered nurse for 14 years of which 10 years have been spent working in Oncology and Hospice settings both in the UK & New Zealand.
I have worked at Marple Dale since April 2013 as the End of Life Coordinator a role which involves overseeing and coordinator the care of all residents who are approaching End of Life and I am truly passionate and dedicated to my role.

I ensure that the staff team are appropriately trained to enable them to provide the care a person requires during this time.

Although I don't provide hands on care, I do assess every resident as they approach the end of their life, communicate with their loved ones, support the staff and liaise with GP's

The greatest satisfaction I gain in my role is being able to ensure that our residents receive holistic, dignified, high quality and individualised care in the place of their choice
