Our team at
Clara Court

I began working for Care UK in August 2006 as a cleaner, and I’ve worked my way up to Deputy Manager.

To be a great Deputy Manager, you need to have passion and willingness to improve and achieve the goals you set for yourself. Care UK gives good opportunities for growth. I’ve achieved my Level 2, 3 and 5 qualifications.

I enjoy working with the residents and colleagues at Clara Court. Working on the floor with others means I can help them achieve more and work to higher standards. I love to be challenged and learn new things that help me in my everyday duties.

With work, family and my home it can be hard to find the time to unwind, but when I have the opportunity, I like to visit the beautician to relax.

I started working for Care UK in 2006, and I’ve worked as a senior carer and team leader. I’ve always been passionate about food, and being creative with food, so I made the move to head chef. I love it!

I particularly enjoy going around the home and chatting to residents about what they’re enjoying on the menu, and what else they’d like to try. It’s the best feeling seeing them smiling and looking forward to meal times. I know we’re doing something right. 

There’s such a great atmosphere at Clara Court, which is helped by the fact that everyone supports each other to do their best work. Colleagues are happy, residents are happy and relatives too. 

I joined the Clara Court team in 2020, working as a Catering Assistant and in the domestic department. I was promoted to Head Housekeeper in September 2020. Before that, I worked in hotel housekeeping.

Prior to coming to the UK, I studied at a Technical School of Catering and Hotel Management in Poland and then got a degree in financial management before working as Reception Manager at a hotel.

I like taking on challenges, gaining skills and working towards new goals. I welcomed the opportunity to learn from a dedicated and experienced team at Clara Court and contribute by further developing my own skills.

Being a Head Housekeeper, it’s the little things that matter. This role calls for a particular attention to detail: cleanliness, infection prevention and ensuring and maintaining comfort of living for residents.

What I love most each day is meeting the residents and ensuring they are well looked after by our housekeeping department. I cherish all my chats with residents and appreciate their comments and suggestions and the compliments they often pay our team. It’s incredibly satisfying to see the care home clean, fresh and consistently meeting the high standards set by Care UK.

Outside of work, I love literature, particularly poetry. In my spare time I read and write poetry, and I also love to look after my plants.
