As Hillside’s SMO it's my job to make sure the home is safe and we adhere to the current Health & Safety guidelines. I take pride in making the home look smart and fresh with decorating the communal areas of the home. I also liaise with other team members, residents and family members in making residents rooms more personalised by helping choose their own colour schemes for their rooms.

I work hard to ensure that those in our care lead happy and fulfilling lives, whilst maintaining choice over the care and support they receive.

I support the team to ensure they can perform their roles safely and to the best of their ability.

It is important to ensure that our residents home is kept safe, welcoming and comfortable at all times.
