Lianne started her career in the care sector as an assistant over 25 years ago. Throughout her career she has worked hard to rise through the ranks, gaining the necessary qualifications to advance first to Senior Care Assistant, then Deputy Manager and finally becoming Manager of her first home.

Lianne has been committed to improving the lives of both people in her care and the team she has worked alongside.  She has an unflinching passion for providing quality, person-centred care and an approach and attitude that is totally in-step with Bracebridge Care’s own philosophy.

We are delighted to welcome her on board as Home Manager of The Oaks and The Maples.

Sarah has been working in care since 1989 starting off as a care assistant on the elderly wards in Aintree hospital. Throughout her career in care, Sarah worked across many areas including learning disabilities, mental health and general medical care.

Sarah’s dream was to become a nurse and she qualified in 2008. Sarah worked on MAU in Aintree Hospital for over 6 years and then went to the district where she ultimately led a team of nurses and care assistants, supporting the community.

Sarah left the NHS and became a complex lead nurse working for an organisation to support people who had become victims of incidents which left them with extensive injuries such as brain injuries, paraplegic or severe epilepsy.

This experience offered Sarah the breadth of experience she needed to undertake care home management, which she has done now for a few years. Sarah is passionate about leading a team, who can enable people to fulfil their aspirations whilst being supported with their needs in a homely, care setting.
