New Care has appointed Jo Hassey as deputy manager and Bobby Head as head of care at Wilmslow Manor Care Centre in Cheshire, a 63-bed care facility providing residential, dementia and 24-hour nursing care services.

Hassey is tasked with supporting the home manager, overseeing new resident admissions and any discharges, as well as being responsible for the general wellbeing of the residents and employees at the home. She was previously a clinical nurse, achieving several accreditations during her career, including RGN, DlpSin and V300 Nurse Prescriber. 

Hassey said: “New Care is renowned for delivering exceptional care, as well as creating community spirit within its homes. Staff are fully supported and there are plenty of career progression opportunities, which is great to see. Wilmslow Manor is a beautiful care facility with wonderful residents and a talented team; it’s super to be part of this.”

Head has worked in care homes for a number of years. She will be responsible for the welfare of the residents, ensuring they receive safe, effective, dignified person-centred care, while living fun and fulfilled lives. She is also tasked with supporting the staff, helping to create a positive environment within the home.

Head said: “It’s great to work for a company that actively encourages career progression. I have lots to learn still and I want to improve my knowledge as well as complete my Level 5 NVQ qualification. Knowing I can do all of this, plus much more, with New Care is important to me. I am already really enjoying my new role at Wilmslow Manor and hope to make a real difference at the care home.”

Dawn Collett, commissioning director at New Care, commented: “We are thrilled to welcome Jo and Bobby to Wilmslow Manor and are delighted they have joined the home manager to form a strong management team at the home. I wish both Jo and Bobby well in their new positions.”
