Meet the Manager
Hello, I’m Antoinette, and I’ve been at MacIntyre for about 11 years now, having first started as a Relief Support Worker, and then working my way up. I’ve been at Crosby Close for about 8-9 years, and have really got to know everyone here incredibly well - Crosby Close has been a part of MacIntyre for 30 years, and it’s lovely to see people who first moved in have lived here ever since.
People live very busy lives at Crosby Close, and it’s great to be able to be a part of it, whether that’s community dinners and breakfast clubs, or different social groups and family events, people really feel part of a community. I believe in leading from the front, and as a team we continue to build relationships with families and the local community. We put people at the heart of everything we do, and it’s lovely to hear families recognise the work we do in getting it right for each person.
