I’ve been a registered nurse for more than a decade, mainly working with older people.
I chose to join Care UK because the organisation’s values match my own. There is also ongoing training, and we receive great support from the wider team.
One of the most important aspects of my role is to ensure everyone is safe and happy. It is wonderfully rewarding to see the positive difference the team here makes, enabling residents to live a fulfilling life.
As a home manager, it is important to be able to bring the team together and empower colleagues. Seeing a well-run team deliver the best possible care with a smile and seeing colleagues enjoying their roles makes me so proud of what I do. A big part of that means you need to have patience, empathy and kindness in this role; a good sense of humour helps too.
In 2024, we were recognised as the region of the year. For me and my colleagues, this was an incredible highlight.
Outside of work, I’m an enthusiastic scuba diver and have been lucky enough to dive in some amazing places; the Silfra tectonic plates are on my list to visit. I also have rescue dogs and help fund raise for various rescue charities.
