What do I do:
I am the General Manager at Parkfield Grange. As such, I am responsible for the day to day management of the home in all aspects from care to catering to maintenance to housekeeping. This means that I need to have a good knowledge of all the separate functions in order for me to lead the team members to deliver a fantastic experience to our residents. As the General Manager my role is vast; I can be involved in anything from recruitment to payroll to audits to care. No day is the same, which is why I love what I do.
My Experience:
I originally trained as a Registered Nurse and have worked in the field of care of the Older Person in both the NHS and in the independent sector since I qualified. Along the way I have gained several degrees, including a Masters degree in Law and Employment relations and a Masters degree in Leadership and Management. I have worked in a variety of roles in my career and am thrilled to be using all my skills and experience to lead the team at Parkfield Grange.
About Me:
Outside of work, I have many interests but particularly enjoy learning Ballroom and Latin dancing, cooking and gardening. I love to socialise and enjoy nothing more than putting my cooking skills to use and feeding large numbers of family and friends.

Associate General Manager
What I do:
I joined the Parkfield Grange team as Customer Care Services Manager in December 2021. I was welcomed by an exciting, experienced team that all have a passion for caring for our residents and building relationships with relatives. In November 2022, I progressed in my position at Parkfield Grange to Associate General Manager.
My experience:
I am a Registered Nurse with lots of experience working in the elderly care setting, as a Nurse, I have enjoyed many roles and responsibilities throughout my career, but my passion has always led me to care for our elderly population. I enjoy ensuring that people no matter what age can continue a positive lifestyle that they still have control over within a healthcare setting and here at Parkfield Grange this is a shared ethos.
About me:
In my spare time, I train to compete in triathlons which means I spend a lot of my time swimming, cycling, and running. I have 3 rescue greyhounds who when I can prise them from the sofa will come to work with me and meet our residents for cuddles and sausages. I have a love of all things Disney and like to think this brings a sprinkling of cheer to our home here in Parkfield Grange.

What I do:
In my role as Deputy Care Services Manager I have a duty to support both the General and Care Services Manager in setting the standards for the home. I also work closely alongside the Senior Carers and Care Team out on the floor to ensure there is excellence in resident care. I pride myself on being a visual manager and my top goal is to achieve Outstanding care for our residents with the support and dedication from our fabulous care team. I take great pride in in bedding the companies Visions and Values and always remind the team it’s important to make the difference. Since being at Parkfield Grange I have developed strong professionals bonds and relationships with both our residents and their families and like to consider myself the first port of call if they ever need any support or of the pay want to discuss any concerns they may have. I also need to ensure that the home meets with the Essential Standards of Quality and Safety, the requirements of CQC and the companies owns Aims and Objectives. Part of my role is to also provide the team with training and I am fortunate to also hold the position of the homes Train the Trainer in Moving and Handling and PCS Training.
My experience:
I have worked in the care industry since leaving college in 2006 after gaining my qualifications in Health and Social Care. I was very fortunate to pass to go on to study at University and got offered a place to study Midwifery. However, I thought why not have a year or two out and gain some real hands on experience first to see what the world had to offer. I then went and got my first job in a care home aged 18 years old as a care assistant and instantly fell in love with what this career had to offer and never looked back. I started my career as a Care Assistant then over the years progressed to a Senior Carer, Team Leader, Deputy Manager and I was also very fortunate to also hold the position of Acting Care Manager in one of the homes I worked at. Over the years I have gained all the relevant qualifications needed to enable me to fulfil my roles, this being my NVQ2 and 3 and Level 5 Diploma in Management. I have worked for Cinnamon Care for almost 5 years, originally working at Burcot Lodge until I transferred to Parkfield Grange in May 2021.
About me:
I am the Deputy Care Services Manager here at Parkfield Grange Care Home. I am married and have a teenage daughter and when I am not at work I enjoy nothing more than spending quality time with my little family. When I was younger I used to be an experienced horse rider and competed in many shows across the county but gave this up when I went to college. However, recently, my daughter has taken an interest in horse riding so I have taken the plunge after all these years and got back in the saddle and we both have riding lessons each week. I also enjoy travelling to different countries and learning about different cultures and am in my element on a girls day out clothes shopping.
