Kirsty has been in the care industry since she was 18 years old. She started as a care assistant, making her way to home manager within five years.

She brings thirteen years of expertise and experience to the home manager role at Magdalen House.

She has been awarded a QCR level 5 Diploma in leadership for Health and Social Care and Children and Young People Services and during her previous appointments, she was awarded ‘Care Home Manager of the Year’ in which the judges described her as “fun, full of life, committed, knowledgeable and caring” and she saw the residents as an extension of my family.

Outside of her working career, she has a loving husband and two children that keep her busy.

Having spent much of her career working with children in a variety of roles, Lesley started working in elderly care when her own mother moved into Magdalen House.

Lesley joined the team at Magdalen House as a carer in 2013. Loving the fulfilling nature of her new career, she subsequently progressed to Senior and then Deputy Manager, combining her care duties with operational and management responsibilities.

Away from her working life, she was a school governor when her children were growing up. Today, as a proud Grandma, she loves nothing more than spending precious time with her family.

James is passionate about elderly care and shares Allegra Care’s dedication to person-centred care delivery, ensuring that every aspect is tailored to each individual’s specific needs.

In his free time, he will most likely be found walking in his beloved countryside, faithful four-legged companion in tow.
