Our team at
Hadrian House

I began working for Care UK as a Care Assistant back in 2015 as they had a good reputation in the care sector. Each year I have progressed into different roles within the same home. I feel Care UK promotes progression and offers a wide range of training and development opportunities.

As Deputy Manager, I believe you need to be passionate about care and want to make a difference. It’s also important to lead by example and be patient, empathetic, honest and transparent.

Every day here is different, and I enjoy chatting to residents and getting to know everyone's background, as well as building relationships with the residents and their family members.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family and visiting new places.

I started at Hadrian House as a Care Assistant in 2012, and I moved over to my current Business Admin role in 2016. I’ve achieved my Level 2 and 3 Health and Social Care and Level 3 Business Admin qualifications.

My role is to support management, colleagues and residents, and I’m proud that I’m able to support every department in the home. As Business Administrator, it’s important to have good planning and organisation skills, as well as strong communication and teamwork abilities.

I love the sense of accomplishment I feel when I can leave work knowing my goal or task for the day has been completed.

Care UK is a great care provider to work for because they have a good vision and values.

When I’m not working, I can be found in various outdoor locations around the UK, wearing walking boots and binoculars.

To do my role well here at Hadrian House, you need to be easy going, hardworking and take pride in what you do. No two days are ever the same here, which is something I really enjoy. There is always something different to fix or check, and it feels good to know I’m helping to keep everything running smoothly.

I’ve completed a range of in-house training since joining Hadrian House. Before this, I worked in asbestos removal, and I decided to join Care UK because I was ready for a new challenge.

My biggest career highlight is simply the fact that I’ve always been in work. I’m proud that I can help others in my role and support the team. Making sure residents and colleagues are safe is the most important part of what I do.

Outside of work, one of my main interests is football.
