Horse Fair Care Home in Rugeley Horse Fair, Rugeley, Staffordshire, WS15 2EJ

With over 30 years in the care sector, I’m proud to lead the team at Horse Fair Care Home. My journey from Care Assistant to Home Manager spans various settings, including residential, nursing, dementia, and young physical disability care. I’m passionate about delivering person-centred, dignified care in a safe, welcoming environment. I hold the Registered Manager’s Award and am trained in Dementia Care, Health & Safety, COSHH, and Medication Administration.

With a strong understanding of care regulations and best practice, I work closely with residents, families, and local professionals to build trust and ensure the highest standards are always met.

Enriching lives, empowering staff – this is the ethos I bring to Horse Fair, where excellent care and strong leadership go hand in hand to create a home where people thrive.

I am passionate about creating a home where every resident feels safe, valued, and part of a supportive community. With over 10 years’ experience in health and social care—including residential, nursing, and community settings—I bring a wealth of knowledge and dedication to my role.

My background includes roles as Deputy Manager, Team Leader, Unit Manager, and Learning & Development Trainer, giving me both hands-on care experience and strong leadership skills. I hold a Level 5 Diploma in Leadership and Management in Health and Social Care (Distinction), reflecting my commitment to high-quality, person-centred care.

At Horse Fair Care Home, I work closely with residents, families, and staff to ensure compassionate, tailored support for every individual.

With over 20 years of experience in the care sector, I have a strong understanding of both direct care and leadership. My career began in hands-on roles before progressing into leadership positions that strengthened my skills in service planning, coordination, and quality assurance. I hold a Level 5 Diploma in Leadership and Management for Adult Care and a Level 3 in Business and Administration.

I joined Horse Fair Care Home in 2024, conducting pre-assessments and supporting residents and families with compassion as their loved ones transition into our care. I also work closely with the local community, leading engagement initiatives and events to build meaningful connections that enrich life within the home.

I believe in creating a supportive environment where every resident feels valued, every family feels reassured, and our community feels welcomed and involved.
