A CARE home manager inspired by her legendary footballing grandfather is helping to spearhead a recruitment drive for vital care workers. Sharon Moss’s close bond with George Hardwick, the Middlesbrough and England football legend who struggled with Alzheimers in later life, led her into a caring career. The manager of Benkhill Lodge care home in Bedale, she is now supporting North Yorkshire County Council’s drive to recruit desperately needed care workers through their Make Care Matter Recruitment hub. As a child, Sharon said she was in awe of her grandfather and their bond was strong. Despite his ‘giant-like’ sporting physique, he was known as Gentleman George because he was so quietly spoken.
