TESTIMONIAL

I started my career in healthcare as a care assistant at Trevaylor manor. I adored this role and worked there for seven years. While working as a care assistant, I studied nursing at the Knowledge Spa and qualified as a nurse.

I spent time in the acute sector to gain experience, this was invaluable, but I knew I belonged in elder care, I had always been sure I would return to a care home setting.

Following my time at Treliske I spent four years working as a community nurse, after this I came back to Swallowcourt and started as a staff nurse at Ponsandane. I have found that a huge amount of the skills I already learned were essential in this setting. I was pleasantly surprised by the complexity of working in a nursing home as a nurse. The pace is fast, the health of resident’s can and does change very quickly. The majority or our residents have multiple health conditions in need of specific management. The joy of working here is getting to know your resident’s and their loved ones well, we can then tailor their care to them making all aspects person centred. Running shifts within a nursing home brings a huge amount of autonomy, we make decisions all the time with and/or on behalf of our residents to ensure they are safe and have the best quality of life possible. We work closely with our GP surgery who have trust in our opinions and judgements, and we have excellent working relationships with the wider MDT.

Always keen to learn, I applied to become the home’s deputy manager, this gave me greater insight into the running of the home, the company as a whole and care home working in general. I am very passionate in my role and feel very privileged to be in a position to contribute to and bring about changes for the good of our residents. The home is constantly changing and growing, and we are looking after increasingly complex individuals which presents challenges and fantastic learning opportunities for all our staff. Our nurses are highly motivated and skilled and enjoy supporting others to reach their potential, our specialist team are a great support network to the team and are always learning and expanding their skills to support further.

The future of Swallowcourt from a nurse’s perspective is bright and exciting and I am keen to welcome new nurses to our team
