Corinna Foster, from Blackpool, has been promoted to deputy manager at The Hamptons care centre on Main Drive, off Heyhouses Lane, in Lytham St Annes.
In her new role, Corinna will support home manager Suzanne Scholz in the smooth day-to-day running of the home including taking care of the residents and the team, managing the employee rotas and resident medication plans and ensuring overall standards in every area of care remain exceptionally high.
Having worked at the home for a number of years already, she is particularly keen to use evidence-based practice and encourage reflection and learning with the team and will do this through her personal blend of ‘coffee and chat’ making time to listen to each individual member of staff and their feedback.
After joining as a care assistant just over two years ago, Corinna has developed her career with New Care progressing to senior care assistant and then team leader before being promoted to deputy manager.
She said: “I was drawn to New Care because of the company’s great reputation for outstanding person-centred care and for its culture and values around personal development and progression. I feel very lucky to have developed my career with such a caring and supportive company.
“I love working at The Hamptons, our home is a purpose-built property that provides a wonderful home-from-home environment and an exceptional quality of life for residents. My aim is to do the very best job that I can in my new role.”
38-year-old Corinna is a non-clinical deputy manager but is currently working towards her Level 5, Health and Social Care diploma. Married to Stuart, she has always lived in Blackpool, and has three wonderful children. When not working, she enjoys spending time with her family, walking her dog and socialising with her friends.
