Alcedo Care South Liverpool

My name is Lucy Deighton and I am proud to be the Operations Manager for Alcedo Care Southport/North Liverpool & Sefton/South Liverpool and Live-in Care England & Wales.

I have over 10 years of experience in the health and social care sector, starting as a home carer. My career in healthcare started off in college, studying for a Health and Social Diploma and working for a local home care agency within Southport. Once I completed my diploma, I then studied at the University of Central Lancashire where I successfully graduated from university with a health and social degree. Whilst I was studying, I worked within a local care home and worked up to become a Deputy Manager. I enjoyed this role however after 2 years, I decided I wanted to move back to home care services and further my knowledge. I was a care coordinator for a local homecare provider within the Southport area, coordinating a team of 50+ staff members and over 2000 hours of care a week.

Whilst co-ordinating I studied further and I successfully passed my QCF Level 5 NVQ in Leadership Management for Health and Social care for adults and children. Following my achievement, I wanted to put all my new knowledge into practice and am fortunately now the Operations Manager of Alcedo Care Southport/Preston/North Liverpool & Sefton/South Liverpool and Live-in Care England & Wales.

Throughout my career, I have always challenged myself to find ways to support and enable those in my care provision to receive the best possible care and support, by working with all multi-disciplinary healthcare teams and of course, my team of staff by ensuring they are well trained, organised, and professional. My role is to ensure all clients’ needs are met every day to the highest possible level.

My role is to ensure operational efficiency and drive the growth of the business while ensuring all clients’ needs are met every day to the highest possible level.

My name is Laura and I’m the Area manager at Alcedo Care South Liverpool. My role is to oversee the day-to-day running of our homecare service. I am responsible for ensuring that our service meets all legal and regulatory requirements (according to CQC), and to ensure that we are providing excellent quality, person-centred care to our clients, always ensuring their needs are met above and beyond.

I’ve been working in the care sector for 18 years, starting out as a care assistant in a care home, then progressing to a senior care assistant and a deputy manager before becoming a registered manager. I have been with Alcedo Care since August 2022 and this is my first job within the homecare element of the care sector. It has opened my eyes to a whole new world of care of what care we can offer people, whilst in the comfort of their own home. I have completed an NVQ Level 2 & 3 in Health and Social Care, as well as a Level 5 Diploma in Leadership and Management for Health and Social Care.

I chose to work in the care sector after helping look after several family members who required care, and also following in the footsteps of several family members who have or still do, work in the care sector.

Outside of work, I enjoy travelling to new places, going to the gym, reading a good book and walking with my Dachshund Tilly.
