Our Senior Leadership Team
Kevin Shaw
Amanda Smith
I joined Hartford Care in March 2019 and I am responsible for the accounts and payroll team. I began my career as a Chartered Accountant and now have over 20 years’ experience as a Finance Director. My career has spanned a range of sectors but since 2011 I have specialised in the health care sectors, having previously worked for two residential mental healthcare providers; St Andrews Healthcare and Cambian Group Plc.
I am very passionate about our core values of Care, Comfort and Companionship and our ‘home from home’ ethos which resonates across the whole group.
Vicki Heenan
Hi I’m Vicki, I am the HR Director at Hartford Care. I have been in HR for 11 years and during that time I have held various roles, but most recently I spent the last 7 years at a senior level within Carnival UK (P&O cruises and Cunard). HR was always a natural career choice for me as I love the variety it brings; no day is ever the same. I especially love enabling people to reach their potential and help make a difference for all my colleagues.
Outside of work I love to travel, spend time with my husband and enjoy countryside walks with our two dogs, Annie and Willow.
Emma Jones
Hello, I’m Emma, and I joined Hartford Care back in 2017. I originally trained as a nurse, but over the course of my career, I have worked in a variety of care roles, moving from carer to management including working as a peripatetic manager before taking on my role here at Hartford Care as Regional Director. During my 20 years in the health care sector, I have worked within various disciplines including working with elderly people, those with learning disabilities and the mental health service.
I love being part of the Hartford Care family, working alongside caring, dedicated and enthusiastic individuals who really do want to make a difference by providing the very best care, comfort and companionship to our residents and making our homes great places to live
When I’m not working, I can be found running around after my husband, our 3 little girls and our little Cavachon puppy.
Nicky Barnes
Hi, I’m Nicky, and I have worked for Hartford Care for just over three years now and prior to that I worked for a larger care provider for over 20 years. I have worked in various roles throughout my carer starting as a support worker (many moons ago) and I was a Registered Manager for a number of years before becoming an Operations Director. I absolutely love working for the Hartford Care family, and I have a real passion for person centered care and I believe the Hartford Care values resonate this – ensuring that not only our residents are put at the heart of everything we do, but that all of our team members are well looked after and feel valued.
