Service Manager
I am the Service Manager here at Milnshaw House, I work alongside a dedicated and empowering multi-disciplinary team.
I have over six years’ of experience within social care settings and I have worked for Northern Healthcare for the last four years. I am dedicated to promoting independence for the people we support with a person-centered approach, and promoting best practice across all our services which I am extremely PROUD to be a part of.
It’s an honour to support vulnerable adults to make the best choices for their lives and future, I am excited to see Milnshaw House grow and flourish with my supportive team and the individuals we support.
People's views and decisions about care were incorporated in their care plans. This helped staff to support people in a way that allowed people to have control over their lives. People told us, "I would recommend this service to other people. Staff help me with [name of activity] and help to keep me focused." (CQC Report 2021)
