Promotion for Fylde coast care home worker

Corinna Foster, from Blackpool, has been promoted to deputy manager at The Hamptons care centre on Main Drive in St Annes.

In her new role, Corinna will support home manager Suzanne Scholz in the day-to-day running of the home including taking care of the residents and the team, managing the employee rotas and resident medication plans and ensuring overall standards in every area of care remain high.

Having worked at the 76-bed home for a number of years already, she said she was keen to use evidence-based practice and encourage reflection and learning with the team and will do this through her blend of ‘coffee and chat’.

After joining as a care assistant just over two years ago, Corinna has developed her career with New Care progressing to senior care assistant and then team leader.

She said: “I was drawn to New Care because of the company’s great reputation for outstanding person-centred care and for its culture and values around personal development and progression. I feel very lucky to have developed my career with such a caring and supportive company.”

38-year-old Corinna is a non-clinical deputy manager but is currently working towards her Level 5, Health and Social Care diploma.

The Hamptons offers residential, nursing and dementia care. The home features private bedrooms with en-suite wet rooms, communal lounges and dining rooms.
