Kingfisher Court is fantastic, all the staff are friendly and treat the residents with dignity and respect. The activities on offer are fantastic and residents are regularly taken on day trips and do activities they enjoy such as bowling, shopping or a drink in a local pub. All areas of the home are clean and the rooms are of very high quality. The library and tea rooms are lovely places to sit with relatives and the onsite hairdresser is an added bonus. Highly recommended and as a family, we are very happy with the home.

My grandma has been living at Kingfisher Court for a year and a half and I can honestly say that the love and care she has been given from day one has never changed, if anything it has grown. Every single member of staff knows who she is and always stop to speak to her. Although she isn't able to communicate very well they always make her smile. I would recommend Kingfisher Court to anyone, it's a real home from home.

I am passionate about working in care and have always considered myself to be a people person. It is a huge privilege to work with others and to know that I am the driving force behind a service where all people matter. I consider myself to be a kind and empathetic person who is a good listener at all levels.
I have worked in care for a long time, and there are many reasons for this. I love the fact that the smallest of gestures mean the most to others, and if, during the course of my working day I can make others feel valued and genuinely cared for, then I know that I am making a difference to someone’s life. Caring for others is the most rewarding career to have.
An integral part of my role is to forge strong relationships with residents and their families and friends, their input will be fundamental to the quality of the service at Kingfisher Court. I enjoy supporting and developing my staff team to deliver the highest standard of care. I take pride in providing outstanding care to my residents, and having a good team who share the same values is vital to achieving this goal.
I am a perfectionist who enjoys the attention to detail that comes with this job, I like to focus on the standards of attainment required to hold the position that I love.
My door will always be open, I am responsive and ready to help in any way that I can. I both encourage and welcome any feedback that will help us to shape the future of the home.

I’m Nicky, I have worked in Health and Social Care for around 17 years now and my work means so much to me.
I enjoy working with people, supporting them, and encouraging them, leading a happy, fulfilled team! I love getting to know the residents that I support, hearing their stories and learning about their lives, and delivering hands-on care, that enables me to develop a person-centred approach.
I haven’t been here at Kingfisher long, but I have a good feeling about the home, it is such a warm, welcoming, happy place to be. I’m sure that I will fit in well here, I work well under pressure and love having an open door to enable both the residents and their families and me to develop a close professional relationship based on honesty and trust. I feel very fortunate to have been given this opportunity and I am grateful for the warm welcome that I have received. My job takes up a lot of my time but when I’m not at work, I spend my time playing with my 3 Children, enjoying the company of my husband, and saying I will go to the gym!

I have worked in the care industry for three years. I love that my job allows me to engage with people from all walks of life and to spend time getting to know people that I wouldn't otherwise have met. I love that my work provides comfort for families knowing their relative is safe and cared for.

Hi, I'm Claire the Head Housekeeper, I've been cleaning for 8 years now and the best years have been the 3 years working at Kingfisher Court. I enjoy getting to know all the residents as well as maintaining a high standard of cleaning to make their homes as comfortable and welcoming as they possibly can be. There is more to cleaning in my role it is also about engaging with the residents, they become more like family to us.

I’m Merv O’Connor, I started at Kingfisher Court in 2023 as the Maintenance Person, I have not worked in care previously, but thoroughly enjoy the change in direction, I left school at 16 and joined the Army as a Combat Medical Technician, travelling and seeing service in a number of locations, upon discharge from the Army, I attended university, obtaining my BA (Hons) in Business, followed by an MA and PhD in Strategic HR and Operational Management, this led to a direction change and I became a business consultant to the food industry, working on a variety of contracts from building factories to developing new products, as well as converting an amusement arcade into my own pub!
Working with the amazing team and residents here at Kingfisher Court makes it worthwhile coming to work!!
