FRIDAY 26 NOVEMBER - A Rising Star has Risen at The Halcon Centre

As the sky darkened this afternoon with the imminent arrival of the first snow of winter I made my last visit of the day (and the week) to the Halcon Centre. This is our excellent respite centre for adults with physical disabilities and long term conditions in Taunton. It was a good chance to catch up with some of the residents, visitors and staff of the centre.


It was my special pleasure to be able to congratulate on his appointment our newly selected Manager (designate) for the Centre, our own Kevin Mellor. I was delighted to be told of Kevin's appointment this week following a fully competitive selection process and against a substantial field of qualified candidates. Kevin has worked at the centre for 12 years and has a deep understanding of our service. His selection as manager owes much to the leadership and management training he has recently undertaken as a member of our "Rising Stars" group of up and coming potential managers from throughout Somerset Care Ltd. He is the first of the group to achieve a full managers post and we all wish him every possible success in his new role, which he will assume fully next month following a period of induction and further training with out interim manager Mike Vickery. We are extremely grateful to Mike for so willingly supporting the Centre for the past few weeks.


CONGRATULATIONS KEVIN AND GOOD LUCK!
