Tenchley Manor

I’ve completed a manager's training course and take pride in creating a nurturing environment where residents feel enriched, stimulated, and content in their homes.

I joined Tenchley Manor in 2022 and have found it to be one of the nicest places I have ever worked. From the moment you walk through the door, there is a lovely family, homely, welcoming and caring feel. As Administrator, I make sure that residents, their families and friends feel welcomed, comfortable and at home from the moment they arrive and throughout their time at Tenchley Manor. I hold a BA Ed Hons and a Level 2 qualification in Business Administration.

I love to keep everything organized, neat and tidy for the home and the residents and am good at time management which means I don’t fall behind. I like to see everyone happy and am well supported in my role here at Tenchley Manor.

I joined Tenchley Manor in 1996 and love the friendly, homely atmosphere. We all strive to make every day fun and interesting, with residents, families, staff and guests getting involved. I always aim to put a smile on people’s faces and treat everyone equally, with care, compassion and understanding. I am a good listener and hope to help put any fears about coming into care at rest. To me, being a carer is about being a friend too. I hold an NVQ in care and regularly complete training to keep my knowledge and skills up to date across all aspects of care.

I joined the team in December 2022 and have 22 years of experience in my profession. I enjoy building meaningful, long-term relationships with our residents and supporting their individual needs. I believe I can enrich people’s lives by listening to them, providing compassionate care and helping to resolve any concerns they may have.

I joined Tenchley Manor in 2024 and really enjoy being part of such a friendly, welcoming team. The staff make it feel like a family, and it is an honour to work alongside them. I believe kindness and a positive attitude go a long way, and I enjoy helping to create a warm and happy environment for everyone. Although I am not directly involved in residents’ care, the training I have completed helps me understand their needs and how I can best support them in my role.

I love spending time with our Residents, getting to know them, hearing their stories and building meaningful relationships. I enjoy crafts, outings and finding ways to make Residents smile, whether through a conversation, a helping hand or my singing!

With previous experience in activities at a holiday camp, I wanted to make a difference in people's lives. I have a Mental Health First Aid qualification and Level 2 in Counselling Skills, but I believe a warm heart and open arms are just as important.
