Marigold House

Hi There,
My name is Sandra and I am the receptionist/administrator here at Marigold House.
I have been here since March 2025 after working for over 25 years in Human Resources and Data Protection within the hospitality industry.
I bring many years of experience in customer service and administration and have a genuine passion for helping and supporting people and have a compassionate approach. This has enabled me to settle in well at Marigold House, as the receptionist here I enjoy creating a warm and welcoming environment for our residents, families, and visitors and building a friendly rapport with everyone. I am always ready to lend a helping hand or a listening ear.
Although my duties keep me mainly in reception, getting to know our residents is one of the most rewarding parts of my role. Whether it’s learning about their families or hearing stories from their past, I enjoy taking the time to build genuine connections.
Working at Marigold House means being part of a team that truly cares—not just for our residents, but for each other. Every team member plays a vital role in creating a safe, welcoming, and happy environment. Whether providing hands-on care, preparing meals, or greeting visitors at the front desk, we all share the same goal: to make a positive difference in the lives of those we care for and I am proud to say I am one of the team.

Hi, my name is Lauren. I am part of the Enrichment Team at Marigold House. I have always wanted to be in a job that involves making people smile. When I found that Marigold House advertised for an Activities Coordinator, I immediately jumped to apply. I had been in a similar role for the previous year in another company, but this looked amazing, and I was lucky enough to be offered the opportunity to work with a great team of people and a fantastic bunch of fun-loving residents to entertain!

I love that every day is different in Marigold. One day, we are knee deep in glue and paint, and then another day, we're off on a trip out for an afternoon of dancing! I am always finding new ways to enrich our residents' lives, from making up silly games or just a quiet time to have a chat and quiet time to reflect.

I always say it doesn’t matter what age you are, what disability you have, there is always a way to have fun, and I believe the Enrichment team here at Marigold do that, and they go home every day knowing that everyone had a smile on their face!

Hi my name is Victoria.
I am a Care Assistant here at Marigold House. I have been part of the Marigold team since January 2025. I started working in care during Covid and even though these were stressful times for all, I was grateful to be there to look after vulnerable people and put smiles on their faces during these difficult times. I then moved on to work in the Prison Service however I found that I thoroughly missed caring for the elderly. I decided to go back into care and I certainly don’t regret my decision. Marigold House is completely different to any other home I have worked in. From walking in at the start of my shift to walking out at the end I feel happy and valued. The staff go above and beyond for the residents which is just so lovely to see. I am beyond grateful to be part of the Marigold family.

I began working in care at the age of 16, and it has been my passion ever since. From the very start, I’ve loved the warm, welcoming atmosphere of a care home and the privilege of supporting those who are vulnerable. What I enjoy most is the sociable side of the role, whether it’s sharing conversations with residents or working alongside such kind and caring colleagues. Everyone is so friendly and a joy to be around, which makes every day rewarding. Marigold is a truly special place to me, one of the best homes I’ve had the pleasure of working in, with staff who are not only professional but also wonderfully warm and welcoming.
