Amber Maybank – Administrator and a key support
I have worked in the care sector for 19 years, gaining extensive experience and a deep passion for supporting others. I hold NVQ Level 3 and Level 5 in Health and Social Care, along with additional extensive training, which has strengthened my expertise, particularly in working with individuals with learning difficulties and mental health challenges.
In January 2024, I took on a pivotal role at Jacks Place Care as an Administrator and a key support to the Owner/Director, Hannah. I love the variety within my job—every day is different, and we are always doing something new and uplifting. My position allows me to play an essential part in the daily operations of the service, ensuring its smooth running and the delivery of high-quality care. I work closely with staff, clients, and families to provide effective support and help shape a nurturing and inclusive environment.
I have lived in Malvern all my life. Outside of work, I run a small livery yard and enjoy horse riding. Travelling is another passion of mine, and I love going on holiday to explore new places. My family and friends are extremely important to me. I am committed to supporting the people I work with and brightening their day.
