Katrina Rayment

General Manager

Katrina Rayment

I have 20 years of experience in the care industry, most recently working as a manager for a large domiciliary and complex care agency.

I joined Care UK for the opportunities it would open as one of the UK’s leading care providers.

As a manager, I think the most important part of my role is listening. It's also essential to be empathetic, and to have a good sense of humour.

Any time I can spend talking to residents and my team is my favourite part of the day. Seeing residents and their families happy makes me feel fulfilled in my role.

When I’m not working, I enjoy singing and walking my dalmatian.

Debra Murphy
Business Administrator

Prior to joining the care industry I was working in financial services. However, in 2007 I reached a crossroad in my life where I felt it was time to make a difference - I wanted a career that was meaningful. So in 2007 I started as an Activities Coordinator in a care home. Over the next few years I transitioned into administration and dementia care. I joined the home in 2017 as the Home Administrator. I am proud to work for one of the best care homes in the Suffolk. The most rewarding part of my day to day job is interacting with the residents and their families, a simple 'thank you' really goes a long way!

Kay Allison
Activities Assistant

I’m proud to make a difference in residents’ lives and to ensure they feel safe and happy in my role as Activities Assistant. I joined Care UK because I believe it’s a good care provider and I felt passionate about its vision and values.

My role is all about caring for others, and I believe it’s important to be positive, thoughtful and a happy person. Every day in my job is a highlight in my career because I’m making people happy and making a real difference.

Pauline Edgell
Head Housekeeper

During my career so far I have had many different experiences, from office work to retail - I even owned and ran my own pub! I then came to a time in my life when I wanted a change, so I decided to head into housekeeping in a care home. This was a big, but positive, change for me and I have been in housekeeping ever since. I love how every day is different working at the home, and I really feel like I make a difference to the residents who we support.

Graham Sells
Maintenance

I have previously worked at Kentford Manor as a Maintenance Assistant. After 16 months, I was asked to return to take over the Coordinator role, and I was delighted to do so.

I enjoy working every day at Kentford Manor – it's always an adventure! In this role, you need to have good knowledge, as well as patience, kindness, communication skills, and understanding of the residents. I’m proud to keep the home in the best shape possible and to help residents and colleagues. I believe the most important part of my role is putting a smile on their faces.

I have a boat on the Norfolk Broads, and when I’m not working it’s my go-to place to relax.
