Sue Barnes
Team Leader - Nights.

"My previous job was at Lambs Grange (since 2000) I worked as a residential support worker for two years then on days for five years on nights - 3 of those as Deputy Team Leader.

I am enjoying my new role and the challenge of a new venture by Lambs Group into adult services. Bank Hall is a lovely warm and friendly environment, with both the staff and service users contributing to the cheerful atmosphere.

Elaine Cross
Team Leader - Nights - Nurse.

I completed 30 years in November working as a nurse, having held a variety of posts and spent the last 7 years with BUPA.

Last years BUPA celebrated their 60th anniversary and held their 60th Challenge in Thailand. Only 60 volunteers were chosen and I was lucky enough to be one of them. We went out in groups of 10 to Sarnelli House Orphanage home to 126 children with aids and hiv. It was a fantastic experience and we all felt a mix of emotions from happy to sad, with an overall sense of pride and hard work. To date I have raised £2000 since returning, and hope to go back to Sarnelli House next year.

Upon my return I wished to experience another challenge and so applied to Bank Hall taking on the role of Nurse/Night Team Leader. I am very happy to be part of this new venture.

Sarah Henry

Sarah has worked in the health sector for the past 15 years, starting in residential and nursing homes, then into the community alongside district nurses. I then achieved an NVQ 3 in Promoting Independence. I joined Lambs Group and gained an extensive knowledge of Autism. When I learned that Lambs Group were extending into adult provision I immediately applied and got the post of Team Leader. I run a small team concentrating on supporting our service users in transition to Bank Hall. I enjoy my job very much and look forward to a long career with Lambs Group.

Richard Jones

Richard has worked with adults with learning disabilities and challenging behaviour since 1998 - also people with mental health problems. "I am enjoying the challenge of starting the new service at Bank Hall and look forward to the future here.

In my spare time I like football, badminton, - I'm a bit of an adrenaline junkie enjoying bungy jumping, white water rafting and sky diving amongst other sports.

I think I am an easy going and approachable person and enjoy helping the service users and staff in any way I can".
