Ward manager

Ward managers empower recovery and deliver supervision to staff across the ward to deliver great healthcare.

“I’ve been with the company around 10 years now. I worked through the ranks from newly qualified nurse to Staff Nurse, Team Leader, and then became Ward Manager. I was in the secure services side for around 7 years but decided to move on so I could work more within the community-based services. I moved to Healthlinc Apartments in the Learning Disabilities and Autism sector, which is more community focused and then the opportunity came up to move to Clipstone House, which is where I am now as the Registered Manager. I’ve been here two years. The rest is history. I am absolutely loving every minute of it and I’m looking forward to what comes next.”
