Jacqueline Johnson

Home Manager

I was keen to join Care UK as it provided me a fantastic opportunity to continue developing after previous roles as a Deputy Manager in a home.

My favourite part of the day is when I get to have my daily team meeting before doing my walk around our lovely home. It is so rewarding meeting lovely residents, who always give a welcoming smile.

Everyday I am reminded of the difference the team can make in residents' lives. Their actions help everyone in the home have meaningful, fulfilling experiences.

On my walk abouts, I love hearing residents' opinions on how we are doing, so we can continue to learn from their experiences and improve our services.

Deputy Manager

I only joined Care UK, and Heavers Court, in 2018, but I wanted to work here as its a prestigious care home, and I was keen to expand my experience of caring for older people as part of a well-regarded company. 

Im proud of the care we provide at Heavers Court – not long after I joined we received a ‘good rating from the Care Quality Commission. This highlighted how we treat the people we care for with respect and dignity, supporting them to make decisions about all aspects of their care and to live as independently as possible. 

The best part of the day is when I get to interact with residents and colleagues. Residents are at the heart of what we do, and any time spent learning more about them is time well spent.

Business Administrator

I joined Care UK and Heavers Court in 2012. I worked as a banker for 16 years, so this is quite a different setting. We’re a strong team at Heavers Court and there’s a great team spirit and family atmosphere here in the home. It helps that we’re led by an excellent manager, who is approachable and very understanding.

There are lots of computer systems to learn in this role, from the one that records residents’ care, to the payroll and HR systems. But it’s also important to be good with people face-to-face and on the phone, and to be approachable for families, residents and colleagues alike. 

Outside of work I like to spend time with my family, watching films, having dinners and enjoying outings – including shopping. 

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.
