I thoroughly enjoyed getting back into caring again, as I find it very rewarding and feel like I am giving back. I enjoy the company of the residents, sitting with them and hearing all their life stories from the past.

As a leading care provider, I have found Nellsar that takes the professional growth and development of every member of their staff very seriously. Since I joined Nellsar, I have had the opportunity to undertake many professional and learning developments required for my clinical development.

What I most enjoy about my job is the strong sense of teamwork and good communication. I take pride in my job and I'm always up for a challenge. I love being creative and have a passion for arts and crafts – it's where I excel.

The six-month position has lasted a lot longer than expected and after a year in, I'm still learning every day from the staff and residents at The Old Downs. The biggest take away I have from this role so far is just how interesting it has been.

I have worked a wonderful diverse range of roles throughout my time here. Since joining the Home in September 2019, I have worked as a Carer, a Chef and now I'm the Recreation and Well-Being Coordinator. My team and Manager are fantastic!

I received £250 for referring a friend of mine to work at Abbotsleigh. It made me feel very happy because I spent it on a family outing, and it's encouraged me to refer more friends if I hear they're interested in joining a Care Home.

My job is incredibly varied. On a daily basis my first and foremost responsibility is care but my other duties include liaising with our residents’ families, spending quality time with our residents and seeing them properly supported – this is the best part of my job.

I want to support people to lead their best possible lives. My job role allows me to bring smiles to people’s faces and seeing the residents having fun, laughing and enjoying themselves makes me happy. It gives me great pleasure to know that I’m making a difference.

Over the years working at Woodstock, I gained a lot of confidence. Working with such a friendly and supportive team has helped me grow throughout my journey and I feel I have become stronger in myself.

I retired three years ago and often visit my mother who has been a resident at Lukestone since 2019. I enquired about being a volunteer, which was a simple process where I could help in activities. I enjoy working within this area as I find it very rewarding when I can make residents smile.

I enjoy my job as I have so much fun within the activities that we provide for our residents. I am very happy to be at Woodstock and to be part of such a supportive team. The best part of working as part of a team is that we all help each other out.

When you love what you do, you tend to feel a sense of purpose and belonging and that's how I feel about Lukestone. I feel I am working with professionals that I can learn from. We have a very good team of staff who work well together.

The £500 I received for referring a friend was helpful when paying for some home improvements.
