Darlington Court

“I have a master’s degree in social work and a level 5 diploma in health and social care leadership. These qualifications have been essential, giving me the knowledge and skills to provide high-quality care to residents, as well as support colleagues. I wanted to work at Care UK because I am passionate about making a positive difference to people’s lives. I also wanted to be part of a team that genuinely provides exceptional care. To be a home manager, you need to have strong communication skills, while also being patient, adaptable, and organised. Problem-solving is also important, as is being compassionate. My role also means providing a supportive environment for colleagues. Everyone should feel heard and valued. Ultimately, a positive workplace contributes to all our success and the wellbeing of residents. For me, the best part of the day is when I get the chance to connect with residents and seeing them thrive here. It is incredibly rewarding, knowing that I am part of a team that actively cares about improving people’s lives. Outside of work, I enjoy DIY projects and going to the gym. Both help me stay active and creative which gives me a great work life balance.”
