Welcome


Ruth has had a long career in care and support across many levels across our society. She began her career in 1991 with the NHS, and it was here that she developed a passion for caring for older people. Ruth then moved over to the local authority, where she worked in a number of services, including residential care, day services for disabled adults, adults with learning difficulties, and then on to domiciliary care. She enjoyed all of these roles and found each experience rewarding, challenging, and beneficial to her career. In 2017, after 20 years of service with the local authority, Ruth moved to the private sector to continue her career with older people. She became a registered manager of a nursing home and has remained in this role ever since.
