From cleaner to carer, then to deputy manager and now finally as manager of our home.<\/p>\n<p>Jo\u2019s worked every role, every shift \u2013 and has been there for every resident. When it comes to Briarlea, she knows her stuff.\u00a0She takes pride in making our care home a wonderful place to live.<\/p>\n<p>Her hard work is paying dividends. In our latest report, CQC comments how residents\u00a0\u2018were very positive about their life at the home, and the close bonds they had developed with each other and the staff who supported them\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>To learn more about our stellar CQC rating, you can click\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/api.cqc.org.uk\/public\/v1\/reports\/de98d3a4-b270-4435-be56-056af78924a3?20190625120000\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Jo ensures our residents get the best care in the industry. It\u2019s for this reason that many of our staff attain qualifications in social care (called NVQs). You\u2019ll notice this acronym cropping up a lot in the profiles below. Jo\u2019s even become an NVQ assessor, which ensures our team\u2019s care remains cutting edge.<\/p>\n<p>When her carers are on training, she will often enrol on the same course\u2026 just to see if she can beat their marks!<br \/>Jo admits she\u2019s a keen bean. But we\u2019re grateful for the culture she leads at the home \u2013 where every resident can expect\u00a0intelligent care giving, that\u2019s\u00a0empathetic to their needs.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_accordion_item][\/et_pb_accordion][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.briarleacarehome.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Staff_Image-4.jpg&#8221; title_text=&#8221;Staff_Image 4&#8243; align_tablet=&#8221;center&#8221; align_phone=&#8221;&#8221; align_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; custom_margin=&#8221;||0px|&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px|||||&#8221; animation_style=&#8221;fold&#8221; animation_direction=&#8221;bottom&#8221; animation_intensity_fold=&#8221;10%&#8221; box_shadow_style=&#8221;preset2&#8243; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_accordion _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; width=&#8221;86.7%&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;-24px|30px|60px|30px|false|false&#8221; animation_style=&#8221;slide&#8221; animation_direction=&#8221;bottom&#8221; animation_intensity_slide=&#8221;10%&#8221; box_shadow_style=&#8221;preset2&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_accordion_item title=&#8221;Your Title Goes Here&#8221; open=&#8221;on&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_css_main_element=&#8221;display:none;&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>Your content goes here.
