Constantia Healthcare promoted from within for the manager position at Middlesbrough Grange, appointing Nikki O’Rourke to the post.
Formerly Deputy Manager at our sister home in Middlesbrough – Longlands – Nikki has responsibility for running the 45-bedroom home acquired by the company in June 2023.
The 34-year-old has worked in residential care for 17 years, the last nine of these with Constantia Healthcare. She worked at Longlands as a Senior Carer for three years, before being promoted to Deputy Manager in 2019.
Nikki says: “I was delighted to have been made Manager at Middlesbrough Grange; it’s a massive privilege and I would like to thank the company for the faith they have placed in me.
“I have a fantastic staff team here who are committed to delivering high quality care to the people living in the home.”
Emily Whitehurst, Constantia Healthcare Chief Operating Officer, said: “We are always looking to develop, mentor and provide opportunities for our staff and Nikki is a great example of what can be achieved.
“Nikki went from strength to strength in her role as Deputy Manager, so we were thrilled to have been able to promote her to the role of Manager at our newest home.
“She has now embarked on this next stage of her career and play a leading role as we continue to integrate Middlesbrough Grange into the Constantia Healthcare family.”
Married mum-of-eight Nikki has a Level 2 and 3 in Health and Social Care and is currently working towards her Level 5 in Health and Social Care (equivalent to the second year of a university degree course). She also has qualifications in Team Leadership and Management.
