Meet the Shawford Springs Care Home Team

Hi, My name is Molly and I have worked within care for around 8 years. I am very passionate about enabling our residents to live a happy and fulfilled life, whilst ensuring person centred care.

Outside of work I enjoy spending time with my family and travelling to new places

I have worked in the care industry my whole working life and have gained experience in many different roles. I have been with Barchester since December 2020 and moved to Shawford Springs to start my role of Deputy Manager in May 2024.

I feel this role is perfect for me to utilise my skills in care, administration and management. I love working in a care home and spending time with our residents. The residents come first in everything I do. To see them happy makes me feel happy and rewarded.

I am incredibly passionate about the role I play here at Shawford Springs, driven by helping others and really making a difference. Working with people and knowing that you can have a really positive effect on someone is such a great feeling. Getting to know families and friends and ensuring that they feel supported as a loved one takes that next step,  is extremely important to me. I know that our home will be the heart of the community and a beautiful place to live for those that choose us as their forever home.

In that time I have built a wealth of skills, knowledge and experience in designing and implementing activities that will support the mind, body and soul. I have a passion for delivering person centred sessions and will strive to ensure our weekly programme is engaging for all. I love organising events and am continually looking for ways to connect with our local community.
