New Manager At Bradford
HICA HOMECARE are delighted to announce the appointment of Karen Nicholson as Branch Manager of their Bradford office.
Born in Sudbury, Suffolk, Karen has lived in a number of exotic locations throughout her childhood, as the daughter of an RAF father. Yorkshire, however, is the area she now calls home, having married in Leeds in 1981.
Originally trained as a State Registered Nurse, Karen has worked in a variety of hospital and community settings, including a domiciliary post with Kirklees Council.
The move to HICA HomeCare comes at a time when Karen is especially enthusiastic about the care sector: “I enjoy a challenge”, she says “and am extremely pleased to be involved in assisting with the multitude of changes associated with the personalisation agenda. HICA are very well positioned to act on these changes with immediate effect and ensure that service users remain the number one priority at all times. For me, personally, it is rewarding to be involved with a company that is as experienced and proven as HICA, but that still genuinely cares.”
“The coming months have many challenges ahead and I am looking forward to meeting these head-on, consolidating and strengthening the Bradford branch so that we move towards a much-deserved 3 star ‘excellent’ rating by the CQC.”
Karen leads a team of 0ver 100 homecare workers, providing hundreds of service users with 2400 hours of domiciliary care every week.
HICA HomeCare is part of the multi-faceted HICA Group, one of the country’s leading providers of care, together with purpose-designed property for the over 55s.
