Joanne Atkinson
Personal Assistant
Jo has worked in the Social Care sector for most of her career, initially starting work as a Care Assistant in a Nursing home in Preston. From there she moved to Preston Private Care Home and started to get involved in organising activities for the residents as their “Diversional Therapist.”
After her fourth child was born, she decided to focus on education and went back to College where she gained various qualifications in Business Administration. Her newly acquired knowledge in this area enabled her to start a role as an Administration Assistant in a Nursing home and she quickly discovered she enjoyed the Administration side of Social Care!
She then progressed in her role and gained further experience at a number of other residential settings, including 3 years at the National Care Group Head Office in Accrington, before joining the Clifton Homecare family.
Joanne’s Interests
She has 4 grown up children and 4 grandchildren aged from 10 to 4, who all keep her fulfilled and busy!
In her spare time, Jo enjoys upcycling furniture and has a passion for arts and crafts, so the opportunity to recently convert an old writing bureau into a crafts bureau proved too good an opportunity to miss.
Jo also loves spending time with her 2 dogs, a small border terrier and a large presa canaria, both of whom keep her fit when she takes them out walking.
