Jan - Brackenley Care Home Manager

Jan has worked at Brackenley for over 20 years. Once Jan started working at Brackenley all those years ago she was eager to increase her hours and take on more responsibility, this leading to her current role as home manager. Jan's favourite part of the job is that no two days are the same and also the hands on aspect. She says the team at Brackenley are brilliant, hardworking and creative and she loves been part of that team. Out of work Jan loves spending time with her family and grandchildren and watching a good boxset.
