Position: Regional Manager
Categories: team

I am a Registered General Nurse with experience in mental health nursing particularly Dementia. I have always had a passion for working with the elderly and I started my career in the residential care home sector as a care assistant whilst studying at college. I graduated from the University of Manchester in 2008 after obtaining my Bsc (Hons) degree in Nursing and I joined Zion Care the same year as a newly qualified nurse within one of the homes.
I have enjoyed my years working within the company, manging a home and then joining the regional team ensuring best practice and high standards of care are rolled out across the group. A particular favourite inspirational quote: “Nursing requires compassion, critical thinking and communication. These qualities strengthen the trust people place in nurses, and make all proud to say, ‘A Nurse I am.’”
