Belvedere House

I have worked within the Crown Care Group for 4 years. With the previous 3 years as a Registered Manager, I was then given the opportunity to take on the role of Customer Relations Manager which I loved. I was lucky to have the pleasure of guiding people through the whole process from enquiry to admission. Building relationships and trust to ensure a smooth transition and make what can be a very difficult time as easy and enjoyable as possible.

I am now in the position of Deputy Manager, leading the team and working alongside the Home Manager.

I also work closely alongside our activities coordinator to provide and maintain an individual person-centred lifestyle plan as well as plan amazing events. My previous position also enabled me to support the Management team in all aspects of the home.

I have done Administration all my working life and like to think I’m fairly good at it by now! I work in the care industry specifically because I want to feel that my job is worthwhile and that I am giving something back to society. We all want to know our loved ones are being taken care of by people who know what they are doing and really care.

I have over 15 years' Administration and office experience, as well as a sporting background.
After a break from office roles to work in sports and activities in care, I knew this was the environment I wanted to be in, so came to work at Belvedere House. Being able to have conversations with the residents and listening to their stories helps Belvedere House feel warm and happy and you can see this in both residents and staff.

I joined Crown Care this year as the Maintenance Manager after 13 years of teaching building trades to young people in the local college. My position is to maintain a safe and pleasurable environment for the people who need us.

The best part of the job is the interaction with so many different people with so much knowledge and happy memories they share.

I have always worked in hospitality, in bars restaurants and hotels. I then went on to work in community care where I developed a love for care that is where my journey with Crown Care started. I now work in front of the house at Belvedere House and love my job! This is the perfect job for me, I get to use my skills in hospitality while still caring for people in this wonderful environment, while having the opportunity to teach and mentor the team to create a wonderful dining experience for our residents.

I have worked in the Elderly Care industry for many years and find it incredibly rewarding, Ensuring everyone is treated with respect and dignity while living a fulfilled happy life. I love working at Belvedere House because the whole team have the same values and outlook which is to promote an active and enjoyable life for all residents while providing a high level of care in a beautiful setting.

I have worked in care for over 20 years having worked in several care homes as well as in the community. What I love about working at Belvedere House as a Unit Manager is teamwork and passion for delivering care with dignity and integrity while creating a relaxing yet fun environment to enrich everyone’s life.

I have been working at Belvedere House for over a year after working in care homes for 9 years. Belvedere has developed my skills and knowledge the Management team value my input and always listens to my opinion and ideas. I strive to support my fellow colleagues and make work enjoyable. The whole team are friendly and shows the utmost care and respect to our wonderful residents. I look forward to many more years of being part of this amazing team.

I have worked in care for over 6 years. After visiting Belvedere House and meeting the team, it was soon apparent that providing the best care in a beautiful environment was at the forefront, I soon wanted to be a part of the team!

Working within activities allows me to be creative and utilise the relationships I have built with residents to provide person-centred activities that I know they all enjoy with positive feedback.

I have worked in the care sector for 11 years, Having a passion to provide restaurant quality, nutritious food in a care home setting has always been a driving force for me.

I feel a valued part of the team and look forward to future developments.
