Belvedere House

I have worked within the Crown Care Group for 4 years. With the previous 3 years as a Registered Manager, I was then given the opportunity to take on the role of Customer Relations Manager which I loved. I was lucky to have the pleasure of guiding people through the whole process from enquiry to admission. Building relationships and trust to ensure a smooth transition and make what can be a very difficult time as easy and enjoyable as possible.

I am now in the position of Deputy Manager, leading the team and working alongside the Home Manager.

I also work closely alongside our activities coordinator to provide and maintain an individual person-centred lifestyle plan as well as plan amazing events. My previous position also enabled me to support the Management team in all aspects of the home.

I have done Administration all my working life and like to think I’m fairly good at it by now! I work in the care industry specifically because I want to feel that my job is worthwhile and that I am giving something back to society. We all want to know our loved ones are being taken care of by people who know what they are doing and really care.

I have over 15 years' Administration and office experience, as well as a sporting background.
After a break from office roles to work in sports and activities in care, I knew this was the environment I wanted to be in, so came to work at Belvedere House. Being able to have conversations with the residents and listening to their stories helps Belvedere House feel warm and happy and you can see this in both residents and staff.

I have always worked in hospitality, in bars restaurants and hotels. I then went on to work in community care where I developed a love for care that is where my journey with Crown Care started. I now work in front of the house at Belvedere House and love my job! This is the perfect job for me, I get to use my skills in hospitality while still caring for people in this wonderful environment, while having the opportunity to teach and mentor the team to create a wonderful dining experience for our residents.

I have worked in care for over 20 years having worked in several care homes as well as in the community. What I love about working at Belvedere House as a Unit Manager is teamwork and passion for delivering care with dignity and integrity while creating a relaxing yet fun environment to enrich everyone’s life.

I have been working at Belvedere House for over a year after working in care homes for 9 years. Belvedere has developed my skills and knowledge the Management team value my input and always listens to my opinion and ideas. I strive to support my fellow colleagues and make work enjoyable. The whole team are friendly and shows the utmost care and respect to our wonderful residents. I look forward to many more years of being part of this amazing team.

Hi, I’m one of the Activities Coordinators at Belvedere House. Although I'm mainly based on the first floor, I often get involved with our ground floor residents.

The best part about my role is that every day is different and always brings surprises! I enjoy thinking on my feet and being spontaneous. I love nothing more than entertaining the residents by being creative and expressive in my interactions with them.

It’s a pleasure to be part of the Belvedere family

I have worked in care for over 6 years. After visiting Belvedere House and meeting the team, it was soon apparent that providing the best care in a beautiful environment was at the forefront, I soon wanted to be a part of the team!

Working within activities allows me to be creative and utilise the relationships I have built with residents to provide person-centred activities that I know they all enjoy with positive feedback.

I have worked in the care sector for 11 years, Having a passion to provide restaurant quality, nutritious food in a care home setting has always been a driving force for me. When I was given the opportunity to work at Belvedere House as a chef I was thrilled. After visiting the home and seeing the state-of-the-art kitchen alongside the ethos that Crown Care holds I could not wait to become a member of the team. I feel my ideas, views and knowledge is always taken on board and achieved as a team, with the well-being of the residents at the forefront of everything they do. I feel a valued part of the team and look forward to future developments.
