Antonia Riley – General Manager

I have worked in care for 30 years now starting as a dining room assistant at the age of 15 at Nazareth House Crosby. During this time I obtained my NVQ Level II to become a Carer and by the age of 25, I had undertaken my NVQ Level III to become a Senior Carer.

Throughout the years there have been many changes and I worked hard to become a Team Leader and went on to be appointed Head of Care, working alongside 2 other Managers before being asked to undertake the role of General Manager and have been in post since January 2022.
