Meet The Manager

Emma is Home Manager at St Armands Court.

Emma joined the care sector back in 2016 following personal circumstances that gave her a particular passion to deliver the same outstanding care standards that she had recently witnessed herself.

Starting as a Care Assistant in July 2016, Emma has worked her way through various roles and qualifications within both residential and nursing settings – resulting in her accepting her first Home Manager’s role within St Armands Court back in June 2022.

Emma enjoys all aspects of her role as Home Manager, and has a particular passion for End of Life Care. Her driving force on a day-to-day basis is seeing her service users happy, and providing reassurance to families that their loved ones are cared for to the highest standard.
