Meet The Manager
Victoria Alder is General Manager at Sid Bailey.
In 2016, I trained as a Care Home Assistant Practitioner, working alongside nurses and earning a nomination for an award. After five years as a Clinical/Care Auditor, I secured my first Registered Manager position. Drawn by the values and high standards at Care UK, I became the General Manager of Sid Bailey, where I strive to create a home-away-from-home experience for residents.
Sid Bailey in Brampton is rated ‘Outstanding’ by the CQC (July 2025). The team provides round the clock residential and dementia care on a permanent and respite basis, as well as compassionate end of life care.
