Nynehead Court has a new manager – who first worked at the home at the tender age of 14!

Jo Fenn joined Nynehead Court last year as quality assurance manager and, following the recent retirement of Angela Watkins, has now become manager.

Jo started work at Nynehead Court when she was a teenager, where she had a weekend job delivering tea trays and washing up.

After leaving school she worked at Popham House in Wellington when it was operated by Somerset County Council, and has continued to work in the care sector ever since.

She has managed care homes for the past 16 years, and has now come back to where her career began.

Joanne said: “When the role of quality assurance manager was advertised I jumped at the chance to return to the first care home I ever worked in.

“I’m so delighted to see the changes which have taken place in the facilities since then, and I’m excited to be part of the development we have planned for the future.”
