Merlin Manor care home manager
I have worked in the care sector for over 35 years and started my path to care as a housekeeper and then felt that I would make a caring care assistant as I enjoyed the interaction I got when I was a housekeeper and always wanted to do more for the residents so that started my journey to care.
I always said that by the time I was 40yrs I would like to be a manager as I was a single parent I could not commit to the job role of a manager until my youngest son left school, and lucky enough I was already a Deputy in a care home in Easington Colliery for 5 years, my son then left school and I then became the manager of Ashwood Park.
I have managed care homes for 25 years now. These have been Nursing homes, Residential homes with Dementia.
Each home has been different but very rewarding and at times challenging.
I have my NVQ level 2,3,4 in care.
