Our team at
Ellesmere House

I qualified as a nurse in Canada and have worked at Care UK since 2008. I’ve completed my Level 5 Health and Social Care qualification and am a dementia care trainer.

Being promoted to the Deputy Manager position at Ellesmere House was the best moment of my career so far. I love being in charge of keeping the home running well, and I look forward to spending time with the residents and engaging with team members and relatives every day. In this role, you need to be professional, knowledgeable and have good communication skills. Every day is different in a care home – there is never a dull moment!

Outside of work, I like to keep busy, studying or going to the gym.

I have worked at Care UK since 2016, rising up the ranks from a Healthcare Assistant to Team Leader and Registered Nurse after I qualified as a nurse. From there, I was promoted to Clinical Lead.

Before coming to the UK and becoming a nurse, I worked as a customer service representative.

I think it’s important to be committed, disciplined and consistent, and I enjoy helping the residents and team members however I can. I enjoy creating strong relationships within the home and helping meet everyone’s needs.

When I’m not working, I enjoy travelling and visiting new places.

I am passionate about food and wanted to bring my experience in cooking to a place like Care UK, where seeing the smiles on the resident’s faces brings me joy. Since joining in 2017 I am happy coming into work every day knowing I am part of a great team. We are all reliable, hardworking and have a positive mind set which helps us to create great environment for everyone.

When I am not at work I love my church community, gospel songs and I love to unwind by staying active at the gym. 

Working in the care sector is incredibly rewarding. I joined Care UK in 2022 after studying International Business Management and going on to work as an Operational Assistant Manager in a textile company.

Every day at Ellesmere House brings something new, but my favourite part of my role is payroll and billing.

It’s important as a Business Manager to be a strong leader and have good time management skills. I enjoy every day at Ellesmere House, and I love my job.

When I’m not at work, I unwind with music as well as cooking, shopping and travelling.

I chose to work at Care UK because I wanted to be part of a great team, before this role, I worked as a weekend receptionist at Ellesmere House.

I have completed customer service training, show-around training, and dementia training. In my role, I believe it's important to have a friendly personality, good communication and strong social skills to build relationships with residents and their families. You also need to be organised with the ability to multi-task, problem solve and have empathy.

My favourite part of the day is that every day is different, I enjoy every moment, and my interactions with residents and colleagues bring me great joy. A major career highlight for me has been working at Ellesmere House, alongside completing my Biomedical Sciences degree at Brunel University. I am also finishing my Master’s by October 2025.

I am proud to promote our care home’s image to residents and visitors in a pleasant, caring, and professional way. The most important part of my role is being the first person to greet friends and family with a friendly and professional welcome.

Outside of work, I enjoy long drives and reading.
