Meet The Manager
Leanne Thorne is Cote Manager at Katherine House Rest Home.
I have worked in Social Care for 26 years and have a variety of experience in elderly/Dementia, learning disabilities and mental health settings. This included 15 years working for South Gloucestershire council in all their residential care home homes, five years at Frenchay House residential care home and working as a strategic manager for another Charity.
I trained as an NVQ Assessor to support staff gain their qualifications as well as working with a training provider delivering NVQ's to care homes across the South west. I became a mental health champion to support staff and residents to understand their own mental health challenges.
I am a very nurturing manager and enjoy supporting staff to increase their skills set to enable a career progression.
