Meet The Manager
Claire Culshaw is Registered Manager at Alcedo Care St Helens.
"Hi I’m Claire, Area Manager here at Alcedo Care Wigan, St Helens and Preston.
I have 4 beautiful children who are my world. My passion is Rugby league and I am a huge fan of Wigan Warriors as I was born on the right side of Billinge Hill. Rugby league is a massive part of my home and work life. Work wise I enjoy bringing customers together through my love of the sport, we have attended both Wigan Warriors and St Helens reminiscence sessions.
I have been in Social Care since the age of 18, working in Residential, Day care and domiciliary. For the past 6 years I have been a registered Domiciliary Manager.
