At Care UK's Laurel Dene in Hampton, Greater London, providing the highest standard of care for residents is at the heart of what we do. As part of our friendly team, you'll have the opportunity to develop your career and the support to go far.
Our team works in a stylish, purpose-built care home in a quiet, residential area of Hampton Hill in Greater London. We provide residential and nursing care for older people, as well as dementia care, with fantastic facilities for residents, including a cinema, hair salon and attractive gardens that back onto Bushy Park, once a royal hunting park.
We truly believe that every one of us makes a difference. If you're a passionate, caring individual who works well in a team, consider a rewarding career at Laurel Dene.
Join our team and you'll have the chance to get creative in the kitchen while cooking up nutritious, well-balanced meals that have a direct impact on residents’ health and wellbeing.
Many catering colleagues join us from restaurants or hotels where they’re used to working long hours late into the night. In a care home, you’ll work more sociable hours, and you’ll also have the opportunity to build relationships by getting to know residents and their tastes and preferences. This is a role where you can really make a difference.

Everyone needs to feel motivated and rewarded, so we offer a competitive package of pay and benefits. Read more here.

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 2015 as a Night Team Leader, and I worked my way up to Deputy Manager and now Home Manager.
Before Care UK, I worked for another care provider as a Team Leader, but I took a year off when my husband passed away. I wanted to make a fresh start when I came back to work, and I’d heard good things from friends who worked at Care UK homes. Becoming a Home Manager here was the highlight of my career so far.
You need to be caring, understanding and passionate to do this role. Teamwork is also incredibly important. Laurel Dene is a big home and without the help of a great team around me, all working towards the same goal, my job would be impossible.
I look forward to continuing to progress the home forward and improve the lives of all the residents. Spending time with them is my favourite part of each day. They always have interesting stories to tell from their past!
When I’m not at work, I enjoy spending time with my grandchildren – although they love to come into the home and spend time with residents too!
