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.

Woodstock is a very homely and happy place to work. The food we provide has massively improved and our residents have more choice – even the puréed meals have improved with the use moulds and piping techniques.

During my time here, I am grateful to have had the opportunity to finish my NVQ Level 2; I have now started to work towards my Level 3 and I am also part of the Dementia Champions programme. I feel very supported in developing my skills.

Over the years there have been many positive changes in the Home. Most recently, it's been the training and development that has had the greatest effect for me personally. I’m really proud to support our team; I am looking forward to watching them grow and develop even further.

I am proud of what I have achieved at Bromley Park; my recent promotion to Senior Care Assistant has enabled me to learn more about our residents' care from a different perspective and support them with medication and care planning.

Working very closely with my team, I have seen many positive changes take place over the years. Many members of the Catering Team have started to develop, including enrolling onto NVQ and Nutrition Curses. The knowledge we have now, is reflected in the quality of our residents' meals.

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.

Nellsar is fantastic at identifying people with the perfect combination of talent and self-motivation. Many of our staff have worked in numerous roles with various responsibilities and just kept learning. This has helped them progress and develop, using these skills to enhance the service.

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.

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.

The team are all amazing and working together is a crucial and integral part of the smooth running of the Home. Working at Sonya Lodge is a privilege – this Home belongs to our lovely residents first and foremost and their care is our absolute priority.

I feel proud of my professional achievements. I achieved my NVQ Level 2 and 3, and love learning new things every day while working. I am currently waiting to start my NVQ Level 5 and I am really looking forward to doing it and learning new things.

I first started working at Lulworth House in 2005. I have done a bit of everything; I started as a Carer, then worked up to a Senior Carer position. I moved into the Activities team after having my first child, then stepped up to work as the Chef for a while.
