Nicole Benn

Operations Manager

Hello. My name is Nicole, and I am the Operations Manager here at Boroughbridge Manor. Welcome to our website.

My aim is to ensure residents, staff, families and visitors all feel they are in a caring, welcoming environment and being supported by every member of our team.

I began my career as a Carer at the age of 18 and have gained experience and qualifications holding my Diploma Level 7 within management to progress to my current role. Barchester has a high standard of care and superior lifestyle delivered throughout the company, and I endeavour to deliver those same values in our home.

I always enjoy spending time with residents and their families, and am always available for a chat about our home, staff, services and most importantly, our residents. Please continue to look down this page and meet our wonderful team.

Myself, Leoni and Suzanne have created a wonderful culture within Boroughbridge Manor and we work together to give our residents the best possible experiences.

We are here to ensure that residents enjoy an environment that is both stimulating and socially active. We ensure the team knows each residents' preferences, so that we can deliver a person-centred program of events and activities. We are extremely fortunate to have our very own minibus, we love taking the residents out for coffee, shopping and lots of fun trips out whether that be to the museum or the seaside.
