Head Office:
I started my career as a nurse at Warrington Hospital in 1969 and went on to do my state registered nursing qualification for two years. I joined SOS Homecare as a director in July 2005 and proceeded to undertake training and qualifications in care. I have obtained my Registered Managers Award, my advanced certificate in Health and Safety and my NVQ 4 in health and social care. I thoroughly enjoy my work and I find total job satisfaction in the care SOS Homecare provides for the community.
Before starting at SOS Homecare my experience was predminantly in the fruit and veg wholesale sector. It is very different to what I was used to, but I think I have settled into my role really well. I love working in the care sector. I have now been here for a couple of years, and feel like I have fitted in well as part of the team and get on well with all the staff.
I joined SOS Homecare in February 2016, in the role of Accounts Assistant. Prior to this I worked for another care provider from September 2014 as their Compliance Administrator. Whilst working there I had some involvement within finance and really enjoyed learning the role. Therefore I felt it was the right time to have a change in career.
I joined SOS Homecare in June 2020, I began my career in the care sector 17 years ago as a Health Care Assistant and progressed to Team Leader. I have owrked in many different environments from residential, nursing and extra care schemes. In my 17 years of working in the care sector, I have achieved my NVQ level 2 & 3 in Health and Social Care but needed a new challenge. I have worked within HR now for over a year and absolutely love my new role and couldn't feel any more supported and appreciated by SOS.
In December 2022 I had the pleasure of joining SOS Homecare as a Training Manager. Through my career I have supported individuals in various settings, including a medium secure mental health hospital, services users with autism in the community and worked in a childrens hospice. These types of roles have given me invaluable experience, as has my degree in Psychology.
In a previous role, I became Team Leader, which involved taking on the training responsibilities from scratch, so I had to develop the training around the current service users, identify training needs and implementing strategies that worked for that specific service. I love being a part of SOS, supporting our existing staff with any training requirements and needs, whilst seeking and developing opportunities for continuous progression. Meeting everyone that starts new to SOS Homecare, supporting them through their inductions, and into their careers is a pleasure, and responsibility I am proud to have.
