Julie says: “My passion is to lead and encourage those around me to endorse great practice in their daily activities with our residents, giving all within the home a platform for growth and success.”

Sam said: “Since Julie has been on board as our Training Manager, our staff have received valuable training and knowledge to support them to deliver the best possible care to our residents. Julie makes training fun and engaging.”

Staff development has always been a key focus at Scarbrough Court, including the completion of care certificates.
