Karen Stanley, Operations Director & Nominated Individual & Responsible Individual
Karen Stanley is an experienced care industry professional, skilled in developing and delivering services from site and land acquisition to CQC/Ofsted registration and commissioning. Beginning her career in care as a Project Manager for the local authority in Modernisation and Policy, Karen moved into private healthcare as a Business Service Manager within a nationwide company. Karen has also managed social enterprises for people with learning disabilities with the National Skills Academy for Health within Doncaster.
In addition Karen is the Nominated Individual and Responsible Individual for both strands of the business, offering support and structure to the Registered Manager's, managing the provisions, as well as overseeing compliancy.
At Virtue Health Services, Karen brings her extensive experience, people management skills and dedication to care for individuals with complex needs to develop community services that make a difference.
“For me, it’s about giving individuals the opportunity to live a dignified life of their choice. I’ve worked in care for over 20 years, and while I’ve seen great examples of care that’s changed lives, I’ve also seen care that does not always treat people as individuals.
Virtue Community Pathways are the opposite of traditional, institutionalised care where people’s lives are restricted around the needs of a big organisation. Virtue’s modern, community based homes support people and children to live a full and happy life within a support structure that restores their choice and enables their independence.”
