Athena Care Homes has appointed Beverley Murray as home manager at Langdon House in Cambridge, where she began her career in care 25 years ago, starting as a carer.

Murray worked her way up to assistant manager at Langdon House before moving to another care home and then to Alex Wood House, Langdon’s sister home, where she was a night team leader for five years. Most recently, she was a home manager in Cambridge, spending nine years leading the team.

Murray said returning to Langdon House is a little “surreal” but incredibly rewarding. “There’s something so familiar about it,” she said. “It’s like coming home.”

Langdon House became part of Athena Care Homes just over a year ago. Murray said: “I like the fact that Athena is a small, family-run business where you genuinely feel like a part of something special.”
