The Croft

Hi I’m Zoe, the Registered Manager of The Croft.

I joined the company in 2023. I have worked within the care sector since leaving school and started by journey as a residential care worker in 2010.

I started as a very green RCW and have worked my way up through the progressions of the role, to senior, deputy, trainee manager and then registered manager. I always knew I wanted to be a Manager, and I really do pinch myself sometimes that I am in this position, it is a privilege.

Its a challenging but rewarding role. You need to have the passion and drive to want to make a difference and improve children and young people's lives and futures. I feel incredibly lucky to work with such amazing people, teams and children.

The team in my home is equally driven, and the commitment they make to children and each other inspires me every single day. Our job is to build relationships with everyone we meet, strive to achieve positive outcomes and wherever possible improve service delivery. This is the heart of everything we do, and what keeps us motivated.

I love being part of Footsteps to futures, they are warm, supportive and driven to be the best they can be. The atmosphere in the home is relaxed and very much a family feel, where my dog Hector often joins us too! We thrive on the normalities of everyday interactions and without a doubt, this is a family. There is genuine love in our home.
