Trusted to care

A closely-knit team of managers, carers, nurses and support colleagues – and each of us is dedicated to your loved one’s care, health and wellbeing.

I chose to work for Care UK because of its strong reputation for delivering high-quality, person-centred care and its commitment to continually improving standards across its homes.

To do my role well, I believe it’s vital to balance compassion with strong leadership and resilience. Organisation, adaptability, communication and emotional intelligence are all key to managing a busy home and supporting residents and colleagues.

I hold NVQ Levels 2 and 3, my FDM, and I’m currently completing my Level 5 and FHM qualifications. I’ve worked my way up from an agency carer to Home Manager in just five years which is something I’m incredibly proud of. Before taking on my current role, I worked as a Deputy Manager.

One of my favourite parts of the day is chatting with residents and hearing their wonderful life stories. There’s so much we can learn from the older generation. I feel proud every day to see the positive difference our care makes and to watch my team grow in confidence and skill.

Outside of work, I love spending time with my family and friends.
