Cedarwood House Team

Samantha Higgins

Home Mananger

Samantha started working as a night carer at our sister home, Derwent Residential Home, in 2020. An opportunity for a deputy manager position became available at Cedarwood House in 2022; having worked within the care profession for over seven years, Samantha decided to apply with the support of her then-manager. She was successful; she transferred to Cedarwood in April 2022, continuing to push herself and progress her career.
While working at Cedarwood, an opportunity entirely out of her comfort zone became available, and she took the plunge and applied for the Home Manager position in February 2023; having proved herself in her role as deputy manager, the opportunity to progress her career further was given to her.
Since then, Samantha has shown great dedication to the home, the residents and her team and has proven to be a fantastic manager. When asked what she loves about her work, Samantha said
“Every day, I come to work with a huge passion for caring and ensuring all our residents are looked after with the utmost respect; each day, I strive to ensure our dedicated care team delivers person-centred care to all living at Cedarwood. Every day, a difference is made by our unique, dedicated care team and our wonderful residents.
