Working at Care UK in a home support role

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 firmly believe that continuity of care and strong leadership are key to the stability we have created within the team at Mere Hall. Leading by example is at the heart of my role, and I am committed to fostering a positive atmosphere where every colleague feels supported and differences are respected.

My favourite part of the day is always the personal interactions with everyone I work with. I love being face to face with residents, visitors and colleagues. These moments make a big difference, especially for those who are new to the home.

I achieved my MSc in Public Management, following on from my Registered Manager’s Award and NVQ Level 4 in Health and Social Care. Before joining Care UK, I worked as a Quality Assurance Manager for another care home provider, gaining valuable experience in maintaining and improving high standards of care.

My biggest career highlights include opening a new home during the uncertainty of the Covid-19 pandemic - a huge challenge that I now see as a real achievement - and supporting colleagues to grow and progress their careers with confidence.

Outside of work, I enjoy family holidays in our touring caravan, keeping fit, and I’m looking forward to welcoming a new puppy soon.
