Lukasz Wojciechowski

Home Manager

Lukasz Wojciechowski

I have a master’s degree in social work and a level 5 diploma in health and social care leadership.

These qualifications have been essential, giving me the knowledge and skills to provide high-quality care to residents, as well as support colleagues.

I wanted to work at Care UK because I am passionate about making a positive difference to people’s lives. I also wanted to be part of a team that genuinely provides exceptional care.

To be a home manager, you need to have strong communication skills, while also being patient, adaptable, and organised. Problem-solving is also important, as is being compassionate.

My role also means providing a supportive environment for colleagues. Everyone should feel heard and valued. Ultimately, a positive workplace contributes to all our success and the wellbeing of residents.

For me, the best part of the day is when I get the chance to connect with residents and seeing them thrive here. It is incredibly rewarding, knowing that I am part of a team that actively cares about improving people’s lives.

Outside of work, I enjoy DIY projects and going to the gym. Both help me stay active and creative which gives me a great work life balance.

Deputy Manager

I have a level five in health and social care and chose to work for Care UK partly because of the terrific support offered, but also to be part of a really great team.

Although we are all here to give residents the very best care, my role as deputy manager also means I am here to support colleagues. As well as being a supportive leader, you need to be compassionate and have empathy and understanding.

It is wonderful to see the positive difference we can make to those we care for. In particular, when residents take part in activities they have chosen, you can really see the benefit on their wellbeing.

When I’m not working I love going on holiday and seeing the world. I also enjoy reading and spending time with my family and friends.

Head Housekeeper

I was working as a Head Housekeeper in a four-star-rated hotel before I decided to join Darlington Court. I had worked in the care sector previously, and I wanted to come back as I missed the personal side of making someone’s room perfect to live in.

My role is to ensure the home is clean and safe for residents, and I love working alongside my team to make the residents’ rooms perfect. In this role, you need to be friendly, detail-orientated and a team player, as well as a leader.

When the residents can relax and enjoy a clean environment and a friendly chat with the team, I feel proud of what I do.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my dog and socialising with friends.

Our experienced teams

Every day Care UK colleagues live our values of passionate, caring and teamwork to empower residents to enjoy fulfilling lives.

Carers

Our hardworking teams always keep individuals and their families at the heart of the care they provide. We work with you to shape the care your loved one receives, the food they’re served, the activities and experiences they want to do – even the ways they prefer to keep in touch with their friends and family. 

Nurses

The nurses at Care UK are highly skilled and receive sector-leading training, which enables them to keep developing expertise in different clinical fields from dementia to palliative care.

Lifestyle

Our dedicated lifestyle teams work hard to organise a range of activities and events at our home. From gardening and baking to quizzes, music sessions and even live entertainment. Above all, we get to know your loved one to make sure our activities are tailored to suit their interests and hobbies.

Home support roles

From catering to maintenance, housekeeping to administration, our home support teams play a crucial part in ensuring individuals enjoy an exceptional and safe service every day.

All our teams get to know each person they care for to ensure they provide a service that’s designed around their unique needs and tastes. 

Infection control

Each of our homes have a trained Infection Control and Prevention Champion – they are responsible for carrying out daily infection control audit and ensuring cleaning protocols are meticulously applied.
