Meet The Manager
Sophie Newbury is Registered Manager at Visiting Angels South Oxfordshire and Berkshire.
I started my career in care just over 5 years ago, and I absolutely love it! Over the last 5 years I have grown as a person within the care industry, starting as a care assistant moving my way up the ladder to now becoming a Registered Care Manager. The job is very rewarding and I would always go that extra mile for my staff and clients.
My family and friends are very important to me, so in my spare time I will spent time with them. I enjoy listening to music, socialising and cleaning!
After caring for family members over the years, this really made me determined to support others. I would not change it for the world’
