“I’m a qualified Mental Health Nurse, and I was keen to join Care UK after reading about their core values of caring, passionate and teamwork, which align with my own values. I’m passionate about delivering excellent care, and I love working as part of our committed and skilled team. We put residents and their families first and foremost in everything we do. As a Home Manager, I believe it’s important to have effective communication skills: both written and verbal communication play a vital role. I interact with colleagues, residents, families and other stakeholders, so strong leadership skills, an ability to remain calm under pressure, clinical expertise and good decision-making skills are also key. My favourite part of each day is getting to spend time with the residents, chatting and having a laugh. I also enjoy working with my colleagues as a team towards a goal. It’s a great feeling when we achieve it. Every day in a care home is different and brings new challenges. It’s wonderful to see the service transform, staff develop into a cohesive team and residents be happy and content from the service you provide. When I’m not working, I love spending time with my family and exploring the countryside, especially visiting National Trust sites.”
