the Bentley House team

General Manager

Emma Franklin

I first started working in the care industry at the age of 16 years while still at college, as a Housekeeper part-time.  I started spending more time with the residents and realised my passion for care at a young age. I left college and became a full-time care assistant. I spent my first 10 years in care before I decided to go travelling, visiting Thailand, Australia, Vietnam, Malaysia and South America over a period of 18 months. I have now worked in the care industry for 30 years and feel just as passionate about looking after our residents now as I did when I was 16 years of age.

Client Liaison Manager

Dominic North

I have had the pleasure of being a part of the Bentley House family for four years now, working in various roles around the home. My role at Bentley House means I am the first point of contact for families starting out on that journey to find the best fit in terms of a caring environment for their loved ones. I really enjoy being able to showcase the exceptional facilities, luxurious surroundings and incredible staff members that Bentley are extremely fortunate to have.

Residential Care Manager

Kiran Iqbal

I have worked in health and social care for more than 20 years. I have progressed through different roles throughout my career. I have completed Level 5 in Health and Social Care in Leadership and Management and currently I am working towards CIPD Level 5 in People Management. I have a background of a qualified nurse and midwife and have experience of working with different client groups, such as dementia, learning disabilities, assisted living, nursing and residential care. I am a very hardworking and passionate person. As the Residential Manager, I believe that it is important to be approachable and willing to help others. I pride myself in having a friendly and open approach to residents, their loved ones nd team members.

Dementia Care Manager

Carol Quinn

When I was at school, my ambition was always to be a nurse for as long as I can remember. I didn’t like school much so when I was 15, I left school and was lucky to be employed as a cadet nurse. I was excited and spent three years in that position, after which I trained to become a nurse for those with special needs and years later trained as a general nurse. I have now worked in a care home setting for the past 27 years! Many years have passed since my time as a cadet nurse, but I still have the same passion for caring for people. I have a son still living at home and a daughter and one beautiful grandson who now live in Spain so I enjoy trips to the sun.

Maintenance Manager

James Broughton

I joined Bentley house in September 2022, coming in from a non-care background of construction and hospitality. I haven’t looked back, it has been a pleasure to work alongside my colleagues and even more of a pleasure to build friendships with our residents here. I consider myself a hardworking, self-motivated and determined individual who takes pride in their work. I would regard myself as a polite, friendly person who is confident when communicating with others.
