ABOUT US
Meet Our Founder
Hello, I'm Jodie.
I had my first job in care at age 14, working as a kitchen assistant in a nursing home. After college, I took a job as a care assistant, which was supposed to be temporary. I soon realised care was a very special type of work, and one that I loved. So, off I went to university to train as a registered nurse.
By my mid 20s I was managing nursing homes in the private sector, becoming the youngest Home Manager in the company. My passion was providing the very best quality of life for the older people in my care.
For the last 12 years I’ve extended my knowledge, working as an expert witness, advising the UK courts on matters relating to care packages and care provision I specialise in care of older people and people with life limiting illnesses.
Alongside this, I maintained my nursing expertise by community nursing for a hospice at home charity- helping people to stay at home for their end of life care. I hold advanced qualifications in dementia care, care management and advice and guidance.
My experiences, both personal and professional, of seeing families struggling to get the care they need, and often leaving it too late to plan, motivated me to set up BCS.
I now use my years of experience to deliver fast, effective, care finding solutions for older adults. I can honestly say that it is my most rewarding work to date.
If you, or someone you know, is struggling to find the right care, please do get in touch. We carry out every care search as if it were for a loved one of our own.
I look forward to hearing from you,
Jodie
