From the manager

“I began working for Care UK in 2017, and it was evident from my first day that Care UK has a strong ethos and is passionate about delivering high standards of care. Care UK is continually expanding and has many support teams available. Before joining Ambleside, I was the deputy manager at Scarlet house.Prior to Care UK I held a number of roles at a domiciliary care and live-in care provider. As Home Manager, it’s important to be a good listener, approachable, accommodating, motivated and have high standards. My favourite part of the day is spending time with the residents and making a difference to their lives. It’s fantastic to see residents happy and smiling. Making a positive impact on their lives makes the stresses of the job worth it, and I look forward to continuing fulfilling residents’ lives at Ambleside. It also makes me proud to see colleagues develop and progress their careers through mentoring and coaching. I enjoy sharing my skills and knowledge with the team and helping colleagues to follow and achieve their career aspirations. Outside of work, I love going on days out with my son, eating out with friends, walking my dogs, going on holiday, and binge watching a good series on Netflix!”
