Shareen Allsop
Home Manager
I have worked in care for around 9 years. In my first care job in the community I loved helping people, realising the satisfaction I got from helping someone do the simplest of tasks that we all take for granted and the pleasure it gave someone else to be able to do things. I have achieved my level 5 in health and social care, level 4 in leadership and management and qualified at a level 4 in counselling psychotherapy. A smile cost nothing but can give so much value to someone's life.
