I joined the IP team in 2020, bringing with me a background in social care that began in 1987. I started my career in health as a voluntary B-grade auxiliary nurse in an institution for people with learning disabilities. After just one week, I was offered a permanent position—something I saw as a real turning point, as I have always been passionate about making a difference in people’s lives.

As institutions began to close, I became part of the resettlement team. This was a challenging time, as many individuals had lived their entire lives at Weston Hospital and faced significant uncertainty about moving into the community. Despite these challenges, the transition was largely successful and incredibly rewarding to be part of.

I progressed into roles as Acting Home Manager and then Registered Manager of a small residential home, where I remained for several years. I later became an Area Manager for Life Path Trust in Coventry, a role I held for 16 years.

In 2020, I decided it was time for a new challenge and accepted a position with Independent People. I truly value the opportunity to meet and support a wide range of individuals, helping them to live independently at home. There is nothing more rewarding than empowering people to remain in control of their lives, make their own choices, and continue living in the comfort of their own homes with the right support.

I worked as a Recruitment Resourcer, where I was responsible for sourcing and attracting new candidates for care roles. In this position, I spoke with new people every day, building strong communication skills and learning how to quickly understand individuals’ experiences, skills, and career goals. I enjoyed the fast-paced nature of the role and took pride in connecting the right candidates with suitable opportunities, ensuring a positive experience for both the applicant and the organisation.

I have a strong background in the care sector, having worked hands-on as a carer from 2007 to 2014. During this time, I gained valuable experience providing person-centred support, developing a deep understanding of clients’ needs, and delivering compassionate, high-quality care.

Since 2014, I have continued my career within the care industry by working in recruitment. In this role, I have been responsible for sourcing, vetting, and placing care professionals, ensuring that both clients and candidates are well matched. This experience has given me a broader perspective of the sector, as well as strong communication, organisational, and people skills.

I am passionate and caring, and I love my job very much. I have worked with IP for over 8 years and have felt such Joy in supporting our wonderful customers to live at home as independently as they can. I work well as a team and am always open to learning new skills to improve my knowledge and experience.

I have been part of Independent People Homecare since 2015 and take great pride in the work we do, as well as the dedicated support our wonderful carers provide to our valued customers. I have over 30 years of experience in the care sector, leading up to my current role as Registered Manager.

In my spare time, I enjoy running and going to the gym as a way to relax. I also love being outdoors—especially walking in the woods and enjoying the sense of space and fresh air.
