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 am passionate about providing meaningful care to older people and ensuring that we make a positive impact on residents’ lives.

I have been a home manager for eight years and have a BSc Hons. in nursing, as well as a level five in health and social care. I chose to join Care UK because of its values and ethos.

In my role, you need to be patient, have good listening and communication skills, and be understanding. Being calm in any situation helps too.

I think my favourite part of the day is the morning. It’s a time when we can decide what to prioritise and how to approach the day.

A lot of moments stand out for me as highlights. I helped achieve an ‘outstanding’ rating for another Care UK home in 2021. I’m also proud to be able to support colleagues and share the knowledge I’ve learned over the years. It’s all about improving care and standards for the better so residents can benefit.

Outside of work, I captain a local cricket team. I also enjoy reading and spending time with my family. My wife is also a nurse, and we have three children so life is wonderful and busy.
