Our team at
Cuttlebrook Hall

I decided to join Care UK due to their fantastic reputation and their values align with my own.

As Deputy Manager, I believe overseeing the team is my most important role, to ensure the highest standard of care is delivered every day. The characteristics that are key for my role are being compassionate, a good communicator and having a good work ethic.

My biggest career highlight to date has been receiving an award voted by the residents and their families in my previous job for outstanding contribution.

Every day is different at Cuttlebrook Hall, I love the energy and being part of a team. I am very proud of how passionate my team are of getting to know every resident individually, so they can receive person-centred care.

In my free time I like going to the gym, reading and cycling!

I began working at Care UK in 2024, prior to that I have worked in the Customer Relations Manager role for three years.

I love working in care and being able to support to those in my local community who need extra support, the feeling of being able to make a difference and to help in what can be a very stressful/daunting time is what makes me proud in my role. I pride myself in taking time to spend with family members, friends and residents, it’s one of the things I most enjoy. Especially seeing firsthand the difference and joy that we can make to their day-to-day life.

When I’m not at work I love travelling to new countries and immersing myself into different cultures; spending quality time with my family; walking my miniature dachshund and playing golf.

I decided to work for Care UK because I wanted to return to the care sector and with my previous experience in events management and with a brand-new home, I thought it was a great opportunity to use my skills to improve residents’ lives.

Within my role I believe you need to be caring, creative, patient and organised to ensure that we always have an up to date and stimulating activity schedule that meets the needs of residents.

My favourite part of the day is seeing and speaking to the residents; I love getting to know them personally and making a difference to their day. And that’s why the most important part of my role is to find out their thoughts on the activities we do, and what they would like to do to ensure that are our activities are person-centred.

Outside of work I love to spend time with my family and friends, traveling and cheerleading.

My favourite part of my job is cooking for the residents. To do well in this role, you need to have a good understanding of food, staff, people, and a sense of humor is important.

When I’m not working, I enjoy spending time with my wife and children.

My mum, Alana is the Home Manager at the home, I came to work with her one day and didn’t want to leave, so we made the decision that I should work here on a permanent basis as part of the team.

My job is to put smiles on faces and to share the love. I visit all floors within the home and I can even come to your room if you wish. I have so much love to give that I just to share it with anyone I meet. I love a stroke and cuddle, but if I sit longer enough will I get an extra biscuit or three.

I am here to be your furry best friend, you can even take me for a walk – perhaps to the shop to share a fresh pack of digestives.

I am cheeky. What can I say? It’s a gift I have. See you soon!
