Our team at
Kenilworth Grange

I joined the team at Kenilworth Grange in October 2011. I’m a Registered Nurse, and I’ve continued my nursing education to achieve a master’s degree in nursing, as well as midwife and social and health care qualifications.

To do this role well, you need to be analytical and a team player. It’s important to be an effective communicator and a role model who can lead the team. You also need up-to-date clinical skills and the ability to manage the home.

I have a good rapport with my colleagues and enjoy managing the home as a unit. My favourite part of the day is ensuring the team's skill mix is just right. Contributing to health and safety training has been a highlight of my career, and I take great pride in empowering colleagues through clinical competencies.

I worked as a Care Assistant before applying for this position, and I always liked the side of the job where I made people happy, entertained them and saw them smile. You need to be enthusiastic in this role, be a people person and enjoy helping others.

I love that I can get my creative side out, bring it to life, share it with residents and see them enjoy it as much as I do. Because I work with people, the biggest highlight is getting to know everything about each individual and knowing how to make their days full of joyful things that I know they’ll love. It’s important to always be learning about residents and paying close attention to their needs whatever changes may occur.

Being able to support people to live fulfilled lives makes me proud of what I do.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time in nature, exploring new places, playing musical instruments and singing.

I’ve worked at Kenilworth Grange since leaving school and have always been proud to be part of such a caring and passionate team. Over the years, I’ve progressed from kitchen assistant to domestic, then carer, senior carer, unit manager, and now business administrator.

In my role, strong organisational, communication, and time management skills are essential, along with a proactive attitude and the ability to solve problems and make decisions effectively. I’m also proud to be the iLearn Champion for our home.

What I enjoy most about my day is that every day is different. Effective communication is at the heart of everything I do, helping to ensure the smooth running of the home.

Outside of work, I enjoy walking my dog and taking holidays both in the UK and abroad.

I work as a receptionist and admin assistant at Kenilworth Grange care home. I have completed an NVQ Level 2 in Business Administration and am currently completing my Level 3 apprenticeship with Care UK. Before this role, I worked as a Human Resources Assistant, took a career break for maternity leave, and then joined Kenilworth Grange as a domestic, later progressing to my current role.

I joined Care UK because I enjoy meeting and speaking to people and find it rewarding to help others. In my role, good communication skills, organisation, and the ability to multitask are really important.

My favourite part of the working day is arriving at work and catching up with the residents and their families. I take pride in making sure every visitor receives a warm welcome and has their questions answered, helping them find their way around the home.

One of my career highlights so far has been receiving a nomination for a Care UK Stars Award, which meant a lot to me.

Outside of work, I enjoy baking and gardening—two great ways to relax and unwind.

I joined Kenilworth Grange in 2008 after working as a Housekeeper in a hotel. In this role, it’s important to communicate with team members, residents and their families and friends. You must be organised to lead the team, good at problem solving and adaptable.

Most days at Kenilworth Grange are completely different, but I enjoy the mornings after all the team has arrived and been assigned their floors for the day. I also enjoy deep cleaning rooms and preparing them for new residents.

My proudest moments were the two times I was awarded a ‘GEM’ award for going the extra mile.

I love interacting with the residents and their families. I’m fond of my colleagues too, we have a good domestic team that work well together and are very supportive.

Outside of work, I like reading and solving puzzles like crosswords and sudoku. I also enjoy cooking and listening to Motown music. Once a month, I also catch up with old friends for a meal.
