๐ Meet Jo Pickering our Deputy Manager ๐
This week, weโre delighted to shine a spotlight on Jo Pickering, our dedicated Deputy Manager here at The Maltings.
Joโs journey into care began with a diploma in childcare and a role as a nursery assistant. She then embarked on nurse training before a family circumstance led her in a different direction. Determined to continue helping others, Jo moved into home care before spending 13 rewarding years supporting children in a special needs school.
Her passion for caring eventually led her into residential care, where she quickly realised it was where she truly belonged. After a period working back in the community, Jo found herself missing the close relationships and sense of family that care home life brings, and returned to the sector. Through hard work, commitment and compassion, she progressed from Senior Care Assistant to Deputy Manager.
With many years of experience supporting people of all ages, Jo is passionate about helping others live happy, fulfilling lives. She believes her caring nature comes naturally from being a mum and takes great pride in supporting both residents and colleagues every day.
When sheโs not at work, Jo enjoys spending time with her family, making memories, and embracing lifeโs simple pleasures.
Thank you, Jo, for your dedication, kindness and leadership. We are incredibly lucky to have you as part of The Maltings team. ๐
