Hi everyone! 👋 I’m Shini Jose, your friendly neighbourhood nursing home manager, here to sprinkle smiles and share a few decades (okay, 28 years!) of nursing experience.
I joined this fantastic company as Harley House Care Home Manager back in April this year. I bring with me a toolkit full of NHS stories, a deep passion for quality care, and, yes, a slightly overused clipboard. Since 2020, I’ve been managing nursing homes, but before, I proudly wore many hats in the NHS, as a nurse, a Continuing Health Care Assessor, and even a stint with the Integrated Care Board. Safe to say, I’ve been around the care block a few times!
When I’m not buried under care plans or chasing down a printer that definitely did have paper five minutes ago, you’ll usually find me nose-deep in a book. Conspiracy theories, sci-fi, folklore, or a good ghost story, I love them all.
At home, I’m CEO of my little gang: mum to three grown-up kids (who like to remind me they’re the bosses now!) and wife to my wonderfully crazy husband who keeps life filled with laughter. I’m big on friends and even bigger on catch-ups, though scheduling one sometimes feels like planning a summit. Still, laughter, stories, and good company are non-negotiables for me.
Fun fact: I’m a trained Indian classical dancer. I took a break while raising my kids, but I’ve laced up my ghungroos again, creaky knees be damned. Some passions just never quit!
Oh, and if you hear someone call me Smiley, that’s me. I’ve been told I smile so much it’s become my personal brand. Not a bad thing in this line of work, right? Happy vibes = happy residents.
I’m so excited to continue this journey with you all, sharing stories, spreading smiles, and making every day count. 💚
