Get to know Vicky McLeavy our Care Home Manager here at Glenfield Woodlands…

My qualifications:

I have always enjoyed learning and developing within my career path. Leaving school I went to college and started in childcare, from there I wanted to progress and took a different career path and got in to health and social care. This is where I gained my level 3 in health & social care. I continued to develop within my role from a Care Assistant right up to a Deputy Manager. During my time of being a Deputy Manager I gained my level 5 diploma in leadership and management, which has got me to where I am today of being registered manager.

Fun fact / memory:

I have travelled and hiked up volcanoes in Iceland! It was an amazing experience

My ethos as Glenfield’s Manager:

As a manager every day is a different day where I am always presented with new challenges to tackle. As a care manager I am fair, supportive and will always provide guidance and leadership to my staff team. My staff team are amazing and with them by my side they help me to continue to keep the smooth running of the home with my overall leadership and guidance. As a manager I’ve always ensured that the residents within my care have a voice which is heard and listened to, respected and valued in the way they should be, with the support that then can continue to live there, life’s at Glenfield Woodlands in a way which is how they want to live at our care home.
