I enjoy working at Manor Grange as the new Clinical Lead because it’s a place where I can make a real difference every day.

I appreciate the high standards of care we uphold, and I’m proud to lead a group of dedicated professionals who are truly committed to enhancing the lives of our residents. Being part of such a compassionate and forward-thinking environment makes my role both rewarding and inspiring.

Lindsay Richards, I am now the Unit Manager for the first floor at Manor Grange. My journey here began over four years ago when I joined the team as a Care Assistant. Since then, I have progressed through several roles, becoming a Senior Carer and then a Team Leader.

Over three years ago, I began studying for my nursing degree. After graduating, I was proud to be promoted to the role of Staff Nurse. When the opportunity arose to apply for the Unit Manager position, I was delighted to put myself forward and even more delighted to be offered the role.

I have over 14 years of experience working in the care sector across a variety of settings. I am passionate about delivering the very best care that our residents deserve, and I have a particular interest in Dementia care and End of Life care.
