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 have over 31 years’ experience working in care homes, including 24 years as a Home Manager. I hold the NVQ Registered Manager Award and am a qualified Dementia Care Mapper and Trainer, as well as an NVQ Assessor. During my career, I have also commissioned six care homes.

I joined Care UK after learning that Eggleton House was being built. I was keen to apply because of Care UK’s strong reputation, with more homes rated ‘good’ and ‘outstanding’ by the CQC than any other provider in the UK. I was also drawn to the organisation’s passion for residents and the training and support provided to help colleagues succeed.

As Home Manager, I believe strong leadership, clear communication and compassion are essential. Championing person-centred care and leading with kindness, patience and resilience sit at the heart of my approach.

The most important part of my role is creating a home that residents and families trust, while maintaining high standards and professionalism. I feel proud when I see residents happy and fulfilled, and colleagues feeling supported and can grow in their career.

My favourite part of the day is spending time with residents, listening to their stories and memories. My door is always open, and I look forward to welcoming you and your loved one to Eggleton House.

Outside of work, I enjoy yoga, pilates, swimming, motor racing, travelling with my family and long walks with my two cockapoos.
