As far as 'full circle' goes, Marie Madeley's career is a tale of returning to your roots.
A Manchester girl, born and bred just a stone's throw from Heathlands Village, Marie found herself working in social care almost by accident, before landing a job at Heathlands Village in the 1990s.
Leaving to pursue higher education, Marie's future took her from social care to the prison service and then on to domiciliary care - followed by a crucial and much-needed break to look after herself and take stock of her future.
Never one to sit still, Marie was soon back on feet, returning to The Fed as the Village's Clinical Manager, a role she inhabits today making a difference to the lives of hundreds of people - residents and staff - who she warmly considers family.
