Meet The Manager
Jade Hackett is Home Manager at Bramley Court Care Home.
Jade brings warmth, dedication and extensive expertise to her role as Home Manager. Originally part of our Bramley family until 2014, she returned in 2021 after completing her degree in mental health nursing and gaining valuable experience as a nurse in the NHS. Jade has since progressed from Senior Nurse to Interim Clinical Lead before becoming Deputy Manager.
With 14 years’ experience, Jade is a registered mental health nurse and our certified Dementia Interpreter Trainer, offering a wealth of clinical knowledge and specialist dementia insight. She has completed specialist management training and is dedicated to supporting and developing our team to deliver exceptional care.
Speaking about what she loves most about Bramley: “Watching Bramley residents live life to the fullest, build friendships and embrace new experiences reminds me every day why I love what I do. Home is a word we associate with feeling safe and loved – and that’s exactly how Bramley feels.”
Bramley Court Care Home in Histon, Cambridge, provides award-winning, high-quality, residential, nursing, and dementia care with love and compassion.
