Meet the Team

I began my career in care because I genuinely care about people. I trained as a Registered Adult Nurse with a passion for Elderly Care. I worked for the NHS for the early part of my career as a Ward Nurse and then a Community Nurse before deciding to join the Commissioning aspect of the NHS.

The NHS was a great place to work but I didn’t feel I could make the impact I wanted so I made the move into the Private sector and became a Care Home Manager. I managed a variety of Care Homes for Corporate companies as well as small family ran companies. Along the way, I joined a Charity-ran Hospice as their CEO before returning back to Social Care where I became the Managing Director for St Marys Care Homes.

I have a strong commitment to quality care and operational excellence as well as inspiring teams, fostering a culture of compassion and continuous improvement.

I have worked in social care for many years as a Home Manager overseeing several large and successful homes, and as a Regional Manager in residential and nursing environments. I have also worked as a Branch and Operations Manager within domiciliary care.

My career includes a number of professional achievements, most recently winning the Hull & East Riding Care Home of the Year award.

I am delighted to be part of the St Marys Group, working alongside the Managing Director, Regional Support Manager, Home Managers and their amazing teams to ensure that together we continue to provide outstanding care.

I qualified as a Nurse 44 years ago and have spent the past 32 years in private health care. I have experience working with disabled young adults, people with learning disabilities, and elderly residents, some of whom are living with Dementia.

I am currently in the role of Regional Support Manager and have worked for the company for several years. I work alongside and support the home managers in our St Mary’s Group of homes under the guidance of the Regional Manager. I enjoy working in this diverse role and find it very rewarding.
