Get to know Oakfield's new Registered Manager - Nic McLaurie

Nic joined Oakfield Community on 09/10/2023 as our new Registered Manager (awaiting registration with CQC). We asked Nic a few questions to get to know her, and her answers are below!

In her previous role Nic managed two supported living properties, giving her the experience and knowledge in this area to bring to Oakfield. Her previous job role included being a Branch Manager as well as Support at Home, in addition to managing the supported living properties mentioned above. Her tasks have ranged from being a support worker all the way up to managing the home. Nic is most looking forward to working on-site with the people we support, giving her an opportunity to build a relationship with them and get to know them individually. She is also excited to get stuck in with the growth and development of Oakfield, and hopes she can be a part of this.

Outside of work, Nic enjoys walking and running, as well as visiting the gym and going swimming. Nothing beats a long walk along the beach on a crisp winters day! Nic also gets involved with her partners role within the Wellingborough Rugby team.

We asked Nic if she could have dinner with any two people, alive or dead, who would she choose and why. Nic was quick to give her first answer of Ryan Reynolds! In addition Nic thought a survivor of the Titanic would make a great guest, to find out their stories of the disaster. Nic is very interested in war and history.

Nic is more of a 'series person' over films. Nic's favourite series to watch on repeat is 'The Walking Dead', she has watched it six times and counting!

If you have any further questions for Nic, please let us know. If you see Nic on-site, please say hello and join us in welcoming her to Oakfield Community.

Nic is hosting a meet and greet on 24.10.23 from 12.30pm-2pm at Easton Maudit Learning Hub Cabin, with a light buffet lunch.
