It’s one big family at Highmarket House and that’s what makes it a very special home. I’ve worked in the care sector since 2008, since I was 18 years old. I’ve worked my way up doing different roles, including Team Leader, Trainer and Unit Manager. I joined Care UK in 2018 because I’d heard good things about the organisation, I’m very proud to be the Home Manager at Highmarket House. I have a passion for what I do, and I’ve done it for a long time, and I’m always looking to make a difference to the people we care for. Everyone who works at Highmarket House takes a ‘whole home’ approach to caring for residents. Away from work, I like to spend time with my family.
