Hi, my name is Rich, I am the Registered Manager of our first Regulated Children’s Home. I have been working in Residential Care for the past 9 years. I really enjoy making sure the young people have the support and care to ensure they’re safe and to fluish so they can have the best opportunities in life despite there backgrounds. I have worked within a range of therapeutic settings and am always stiving to improve the support and care in our home. I have completed my Level 3 Diploma in Residential Childcare along with the Diploma Level 5 in Leadership and Management. I will soon embark on completing my Level 7 course in Strategic Management and Leadership. In my spare time I like to spend time with my young family and socialise with friends, along with playing and watching various sports, mainly football. I also think I’m a good cook, others may disagree!
Hi, my name is Lucy, I am the Deputy Manager of Lotus House children’s home. I started my career In the mental health sector after finishing my degree in Psychology, before working as a social worker in the community. About 8 years ago I decided to take a job in a residential children’s home and have stayed in this field ever since. I have completed my Level 3 diploma in Residential Childcare along with the Diploma level 5 in Leadership and Management and now love my position as house manager of our home. I love the fact that no two days are the same and I am always learning something knew from our young people. My daughter is nearly grown up and I enjoy spending time with her especially when that involves going to see live music. I am a keen sailor and can be found most summer days bobbing around on my sailing cruiser in the Solent.
