Our team at
Salisbury Manor

I became Home Admissions Advisor at Salisbury Manor after working as Club Service Manager for another large care provider.

I meet potential residents and their families and guide them through the process of moving into Salisbury Manor, which is often one of the most difficult and stressful periods in their lives. It makes me so proud to see someone settle and flourish in the care home.

In this role, I believe it’s important to have compassion and empathy and to be transparent.

Outside of work, I enjoy interior design, upcycling furniture and taking walks with my dog, Lottie.

I joined Salisbury Manor because I wanted to make a difference. Every day is different, and I love how Care UK ensures that residents are living fulfilling lives. It's important that we are not only respectful of each other, but also of the fact that this is the residents’ home, and it is a privilege to support them.

I qualified as a nurse in 2003 – it was such a dream. Even today I feel proud to be a nurse. I have worked in a variety of roles and gained different experiences. Before working at Salisbury Manor, I was a Deputy Ward Sister at New Hall Hospital for two years, and before that I spent 19 years at Salisbury Hospital.

I believe that to be a Deputy Manager, you need to lead by example. We are here to serve residents and make their lives fulfilled, so it’s important to be supportive and ready to listen. You also need to empower the team and help them to learn and grow.

Before becoming a business administrator at Salisbury Manor, I was a human resources (HR) manager. As a Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) HR associate, I also have training in recruitment and payroll.

I joined Care UK because I wanted to put my experience and knowledge to good use, and because of Care UK’s values and reputation for quality of care.

One of my favourite parts of the day is our daily team catch-up where we talk about what needs to be done. It feels great when you can tick off all the jobs on your to-do list, knowing that every task has been completed to the best of your ability.

Outside of work, keeping up with my five grandchildren keeps me busy. They range from age 10 all the way up to 18. I also enjoy weekend theatre breaks and sunny holidays in Spain.

We look forward to welcoming you to our wonderful home very soon.

I’ve found Care UK to be one of the best healthcare providers to work for.

Caring is the core of what we do at Salisbury Manor. I enjoy helping others – whether that’s helping a resident settle in and enjoy everything there is to offer at Salisbury Manor or encouraging a team member to be the best they can be.

You need to be caring, empathetic and have plenty of patience when working in care as a Team Leader. My favourite part of the day is interacting with the residents in a friendly and fun setting.

I was lucky to take part in training new colleagues in dementia care when working at Salisbury Manor before its refurbishment, and I’ve enjoyed training new team members during their induction days. I look forward to continuing to learn as much as possible to become the best I can be.
