This is part of a series of blog posts which we have created to introduce you to our team of professionals who make up the backbone of our organisation. The posts feature staff across the whole business: in the homes, referrals and admissions, multi-disciplinary therapies, maintenance, etc. They are written as a relaxed conversation, so you can get to know the “people” in our team.

Jacky Johnson is our Homes Manager at Boughton Green Rd and she has been with us since February 2011. Much like our other Homes Managers Jacky has a wide area of accountability when it comes to managing the staff, premises and of course overseeing the care of our Service Users. Her biggest responsibility is ensuring the well being of the Service Users and making sure that the required level of care is provided to meet the individual needs of each Service User.

As part of her role as a Manager, Jacky is tasked with promoting and maintaining an environment that secures the health, wellbeing, welfare, safety and security of the staff and Service Users in her care. There are of course operational, regulatory and financial elements to Jacky’s role – which include implementing and maintaining Operational Policies and Procedures; managing a Home budget; as well as complying with the Health and Social Care Act (and other relevant legislation). Each Home Manager networks with the local business community and social community interest groups to engage the surrounding businesses and interested local residents in the work that Richardson does – and Jacky really enjoys this part of her role.

Jacky holds a Diploma in Social Work (Dip SW) and in Brain Injury Awarenss (Module) and is hard pressed to pick one thing out of her work at RPC that she enjoys the most. She takes great pleasure in managing her staff; working with the Service Users; dealing with families and of course the business element to the role (relating to local businesses and professional organisations) which helps to bolster our relationships within the community.

In her spare time Jacky likes to stay fit and in shape by going to gym, and of course enjoys socialising with close friends and family.

If you would like to chat to Jacky about her role, ask about a tour of our Boughton Green Rd Home or wish to find out more about what we do at Richardsons, please contact her on 01604 791 266 or jacky.johnson@careresidential.co.uk.
