Our team at
Westfield Park

I am proud to work as Dementia Manager at Westfield Park, having progressed into this role from my previous position as Residential Unit Lead. Supporting residents living with dementia is something I am deeply passionate about, and I take great pride in helping them live their lives to the best of their ability.

My favourite part of the working day is seeing residents fulfilled and content. Knowing they feel safe, supported and able to enjoy their day is incredibly rewarding and reminds me why I chose to work in care.

My favourite part of the working day is interacting with residents and colleagues. Spending time on the unit and checking in with everyone reminds me daily why I chose a career in care. Seeing residents content and engaged is incredibly rewarding.

I am very proud of the difference my colleagues and I make to residents’ everyday lives and of the wonderful team I work alongside – the team consistently goes above and beyond to deliver high-quality care.

My experience in care began as a Care Assistant, where I developed a strong understanding of the importance of safe, comfortable environments for residents. That foundation has supported my progression into my current role as Head Housekeeper at Westfield Park, a career step I am very proud of.

I have completed COSHH and IPC training, which underpins everything I do day to day. Organisation, attention to detail, clear communication and strong leadership are all essential in my role. I work closely with colleagues to maintain high standards of cleanliness and hygiene across the home, helping to reduce the risk of cross-contamination and the spread of infection. Knowing that our work directly supports residents’ health and wellbeing makes the role incredibly rewarding.

My favourite part of the working day is seeing excellent standards consistently met and working alongside a great, motivated team. There is a real sense of pride in walking through the home and knowing it is clean, safe and welcoming for everyone who lives and works here.
