Trudi Gillespie
General Manager
Hello, I am Trudi, General Manager here at Mount Vale. Welcome to our website!
Thank you for taking the time to look further into what we have to offer to you or your loved one. Here is an opportunity to look at some of our staff team in the home, who all play a vital role in day-to-day life.
I started working in the care industry in 2000 and it is the best job in the world! I started my career as a Care Assistant, before being promoted to Deputy Manager at our sister home, Springvale Court and progressing to General Manager at Appletree. In 2024 joined the team at Mount Vale.
My qualifications include an NVQ Level 2 and 3 in Health & Social Care, Working with Dementia Level 3 and End of Life Care Level 3. I strive to deliver the highest possible care to meet the needs and wishes of everyone I support.
I look forward to welcoming you to our home.
