Meet The Manager
Nichola Grain is Registered Manager at Alcedo Care Lancaster and Wyre.
I joined Alcedo Care in November 2019 as a Care Ambassador. I was then promoted to Field Care Supervisor, then Care Coordinator and am now the Registered Manager for Alcedo Care Lancaster & Wyre.
I have worked in Health and Social Care for 20 years and I graduated from Blackpool and Fylde University in 2017 with a BA Honours in Health and Social Care – Children and Families pathway
My journey started when I was 17 as a Kitchen Assistant in a nursing home. Since then I have worked in nursing homes, domiciliary care, on EMI units, in a children nursery and in mental health supported living.
I enjoy caring for others and helping to make their days a little brighter. When I am not working I enjoy spending time with my partner and our children.
Our aim at Alcedo Care Lancaster & Wyre is to deliver the highest possible standard of care and first class customer service in both our homecare services and our temporary healthcare staffing solution services.
