Meet the Team (1)
I started my career in the care sector in 1995, working in a nursing home for over 10 years. During this time, I progressed from Care Assistant to Senior Carer, gaining extensive hands-on experience in delivering high-quality, person-centred care and supporting residents with a wide range of needs.
In 2010, I joined Care South as a Supervisor. Through dedication and continued professional development, I progressed to become a D2A (Discharge to Assess) Specialist Team Supervisor, supporting individuals transitioning from hospital settings and promoting independence through safe discharge planning.
I have now been promoted to Manager for the Somerset and West Dorset Service, where I continue to lead and support teams in delivering high-quality care within the community, whilst promoting dignity, independence, and positive outcomes for the people we support
