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.

Before becoming Home Manager, I spent three years as Deputy Manager at Armstrong House, and my biggest career highlight has been progressing within Care UK for almost ten years. Moving into my first Home Manager role reflects my dedication, growth, and the trust placed in me to lead, maintain high standards of care, and make a meaningful difference for residents and colleagues.

I chose to work for Care UK because of its strong commitment to high-quality, compassionate, person-centred care and the supportive environment it creates for both residents and staff. As a Home Manager, I believe it’s essential to be open, approachable, a good listener, and to lead by example while encouraging others to develop their skills and confidence.

My favourite part of the day is when a resident smiles at me, knowing that the team and I have made a positive difference in their day. Those moments are incredibly rewarding and remind me why I do what I do.

Outside of work, I enjoy baking, shopping, and going on long walks with my husband and our little daughter. I’m proud to lead a dedicated team at Hadrian House and look forward to building a warm, welcoming home where residents feel safe, respected, and truly at home, while continuing to develop strong relationships with families and the wider community.
