Jane Welsman-Jones
— Directing Manager
I have been a Directing Manager for many years and have spent over 30 years providing care to those that require support in a residential environment. What I find really rewarding, is how we are able to maintain consistently high standards, ensuring the safety and well-being of those in our care.
