Heritage Healthcare, a leading provider of home-based care, has appointed two senior members of staff to director level at the company.
Amanda Jackson and Michelle Fenwick already hold executive positions at the Darlington-based company having been promoted since joining Heritage in 2008 as departmental managers.
Amanda, 44, of Newton Aycliffe, will combine her new board position with her role as Operations Manager, where she is responsible for areas of business such as recruitment, health & safety, human resources, planning, executing promotional cam-paigns, co-ordinating tenders.
Glenn Pickersgill, Heritage Healthcare Founder, said: “Amanda and Michelle are a formidable team with a wealth of experience and insight into the care sector, which is of immense benefit to the company, our staff and our clients.
“Their deserved promotion to director level at Heritage means we now have a strong and experienced board that will provide the leadership that the company needs to further build on its success and drive the business forward.
Amanda worked as a carer for five years before moving into the administrative side of the care sector rising up to personnel manager level.
She joined Heritage Healthcare’s personnel and payroll departments where she achieved NVQ Level 4 in Personnel Management.
Heritage Healthcare arranges for carers to assist people in their own homes with practical and personal tasks. This may be for a short while, after an accident or an illness, or it might be long term due to age, disability or other health problems.
Heritage also provides Supported Living services to people with physical disabilities or learning difficulties. This includes helping people go to work, attend a day centre, participate in leisure activities or visit the shops.
