Windsor Court Care Home

I joined Windsor Court as a Senior Care Assistant but within the year progressed to the role of Duty Manager and have now taken on the role of Home Manager, completing my registration in July 2024.

I was inspired and passionate about end-of-life care by my Nan who I cared for at the end of her life. It’s especially important to ensure the emotional side of this journey is very special for everyone concerned and involved and to ensure people receive the best possible care and the utmost dignity when they pass.

I really enjoy working at Windsor Court, I work with a great team where everyone helps each other, there is very good communication and we are just like one big family. The training provided is very good and I receive great support from the entire team.

I have worked at Windsor Court since 2023, but with all the wonderful residents, families and colleagues I have gotten to know, it feels like I have been here much longer.

Since the moment I first stepped into Windsor Court, it broke my preconceptions of what a care home is. It was a warm, friendly environment, I instantly felt welcomed by the staff and residents.

In my role at Windsor Court, I support the Home Manager with daily tasks such as supervisions, staff training and carrying out pre-assessments for potential residents. I also provide support to the team on the floor, helping residents with personal care tasks and supporting with medication administration.

I am so grateful to the management at Windsor Court for enabling me to progress and grow into my current role as Support Manager.

I first joined Windsor Court in February 2022 in the role of Health Care Assistant and within 6 months I was promoted to Senior Care Assistant. I love the family feel at Windsor Court and enjoy making a difference in the lives of others. My job keeps me busy administering medicines to residents, liaising with GP teams and nurses, as well as ensuring the residents’ care plans are kept up to date. No two days are the same at Windsor Court and that variety in my day-to-day experience is something I really like.

I enjoy working with the team at Windsor Court, they are a group of such passionate and caring people and we work well together as a team. I relish in the opportunities provided by Windsor Court and Beritaz Care to progress in my career and develop my skills, it is a wonderful place to work.

I first joined the team at Windsor Court towards the end of 2021 in the role of Care Assistant. Since then I have progressed to Carer Plus and at the start of 2023 was promoted to Senior Care Assistant.

I have been working in the care industry for about 8 years, I like helping people so this industry and the role I do really appealed to me. I get on really well with the entire team, all the staff here are very caring and dedicated to their jobs. It is great to work with a team of people I know I can rely on.

My role at the home is to make sure all the residents are safe and happy. I look after their general wellbeing and ensure their needs are being met, this can involve many different things from making sure they have to eat and drink, to spending time having a chat to find out how they are feeling. I really enjoy talking to the residents, learning about their lives and hearing their stories, it’s my favourite thing about my job. I like that I am able to develop good relationships with the residents and really get to know them, it feels like I have 30 grandparents.

I have been working as a Care Assistant at Windsor Court since August 2022. I moved to the UK just before starting the role, the management at Windsor Court and Beritaz Care were wonderful and really helped me to settle in after my move. Joining the Windsor Court team was like finding a new family in another part of the world, I felt welcomed straight away.

I have been working within the care industry for quite some time, having worked in care homes in Africa before I moved to the UK. Working with the elderly and helping those who cannot help themselves is my passion. I feel good knowing I have made a positive impact on someone’s life. I enjoy having the chance to get to know the residents, spending time chatting and interacting with them, providing any emotional support they may also need. Seeing how well all of the staff and residents communicate with each other is something I really appreciate working at Windsor Court.

I have been a Senior Healthcare Assistant at Windsor Court for roughly 1 and a half years. However, it feels like a millennium because of the bond that we have developed as a team. Daily my role at Windsor Court has me working with stakeholders from diverse entities, it is both challenging and exciting to be part of a team that strives to make each, and every service user receive the best care. I administer medication to the residents. I interact with other healthcare professionals; this may involve advocating for our residents so that they receive the best care.

Easily my favourite part about my job is interacting with residents and their relatives. I am fascinated by the wonderful lives they have led. I have the pleasure of being their friend and carer and I get to hear a lifetime worth of memories and lessons. The teamwork at the home is fantastic, I work with wonderful people. Their desire to share knowledge and experience in a judgement-free zone.

Caroline has worked at Windsor Court for 20 years, having first joined the team in 2003, and has seen many changes inside the home during this time. She has achieved both her NVQ Levels 2 & 3.

Caroline enjoys the ongoing training that is provided in the home and the opportunities to undertake distance learning courses. Caroline would like to learn new skills and carry on working as part of a dedicated team at Windsor Court and says that she would recommend Windsor Court to anyone who wants to work in Health Care.

When not at work she loves spending time with her family, Caroline’s daughter has recently joined the Windsor Court team as an apprentice.

Hi, I have been part of the activities team working at Windsor Court since November 2018. Previously, I worked at another care home managed by Beritaz care for 2 years.

Applying for an activities organisers role was a whole new career for me, using skills from my previous life knowledge and experience. I feel privileged to provide a variety of activities to support resident’s individual interests and hobbies, no two days are the same and the greatest gift is seeing the residents happy, I am truly able to say I have the best job!

I am part of a team and organisation that really cares about one another, the support and training you receive is very good. If you feel you are ready for a change in career you couldn’t choose a more supportive organisation than the Beritaz Care Group to work for.

I started working in Windsor Court in August 2011, I hadn’t worked in a care home prior to starting at Windsor Court but I really enjoy working here, it’s a friendly home which is well managed and provides a peaceful environment for the residents.

I have received a great deal of training which hasn’t only improved my knowledge it has helped me to improve my English.

I find working at Windsor Court very enjoyable and a very nice place to work.

I joined the team at Windsor Court in August 2022 as Administrator. Before taking on this role, I had worked for over 6 years as an Industrial Engineer across the manufacturing sector in Venezuela. Although I had limited experience and knowledge about the care industry, my life was forever changed after my grandmother was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease in 2015. This event really inspired my interest in the care industry and my decision to pursue this role.

I was fortunate to find a great opportunity at Windsor Court to grow professionally as well as personally. Working within the home has given me the chance to support others, helping them to live a fulfilling life, as well as utilising my skills and knowledge from my previous life experiences.
