Audrene Abrigo
Hi. My name is Audrene, and I am the General Manager here at Cadbury Hall. Welcome to our website.
I’m originally from Guyana, South America and I came over to the UK at the tender age of 13. My experience of working in healthcare and with the elderly, began when I was 16 years old as a Kitchen Assistant in a care home. I grew up watching my mother be a nurse to many - healing, treating and supporting her patients with their health and well-being, and it is from here that my passion grew from childhood for the nursing profession.
I am a Registered Nurse and I have worked in various roles including District Nursing, Deputy Manager, Regional Clinical Development Nurse and now I’m delighted to have been promoted to be the General Manager of Cadbury Hall. I have various qualifications, however the one I’ve recently completed is Level 5 Diploma in Leadership and Management. This qualification has helped me to further understand myself as a leader and manager.
I have a caring and compassionate nature for elderly care, and I aim to maintain and promote good health and well-being for all Cadbury Hall residents. I look forward to bringing all the experiences and knowledge that I have gained over the years to support the residents in our care; with the main aim of providing a positive life experience. It is a passion of mine to serve this age group and I look forward to managing and leading the brilliant team at Cadbury Hall.
Please feel free to pop in and have a chat, my door is always open. Hope to see you soon.
