Roseleigh People – Julie Goodenough

After starting as a volunteer at our sister home Longlands, 22 years later Julie Goodenough has now become Deputy Manager at Roseleigh.

In her new role she is responsible for supporting our manager Fiona and generally helping to oversee the smooth running of the home.

Mum-of-three Julie says she is delighted to have been handed this new role.

She says: “I used to work in a family business, but I didn’t enjoy it so one day I was walking past Longlands and thought I would pop in to see if they had any voluntary work.

“This led to a couple of shifts and before I knew it, I was working full-time and loved every minute of it.

“I obviously knew about Roseleigh so coming across to work here was easy enough and like Longlands it is very well-run home, and the staff are all fantastic.”

In her spare time, Julie enjoys swimming, going to the gym and reading, describing herself as a real “bookworm”.
