Jan has worked at Brackenley for over 18 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.

Julia - Quality and Compliance Manager

Julia joined the organisation back in 1997 when it was "The Junction". Julia has a degree in Psychology and a PGCE. Julia spends her days between the office at the skills centre and the two care homes, working closely with both the care home managers and staff. Julia has a 21 year old son with autism and mental health difficulties and believes this helps her bring a parents/carers perspective to the service. Out of work, Julia loves to spend time walking her dog and being out in her garden and maybe the odd salsa class too!
