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 joined Care UK in December 2025 and I’m proud to be part of the team at Llys Herbert. I feel privileged to support our colleagues while ensuring residents remain at the heart of everything we do. I decided to join Care UK because I wanted to continue growing as a leader in care, working in an environment where person-centred care is valued and where residents’ voices, choices, and dignity are central to everyday practice.
I am currently studying the City & Guilds QCF Level 5 in Adult Care and Health and Social Care. I have developed my practical skills through hands-on experience in care, learning person-centred approaches and the principles of the Mental Capacity Act (MCA) through real-life practice. Before joining Care UK, I worked in the care sector, progressing into management roles and gaining valuable experience in supporting teams and improving quality and standards.
I believe a successful Home Manager leads with kindness, remains calm under pressure, and always puts residents at the heart of their decisions. It is important to support colleagues to do the right thing, promote dignity and respect, encourage participation, and listen carefully to residents’ wishes.
My favourite part of the day is spending time with residents and colleagues. Seeing residents engaged, listened to, and treated as individuals, while watching colleagues grow in confidence, reminds me that good care is built on relationships, trust, and making people feel safe and valued.
One of my biggest professional challenges was entering the care sector without previous experience and learning quickly in a real-life environment. That experience helped me grow professionally, build confidence, and develop strong values around person-centred care and supporting people living with dementia.
Outside of work, I enjoy long walks, a good English vegetarian breakfast, watching films, reading, and attending church, as my faith is an important part of my life.
