Every day is different! Sometimes, you never know what will be there to greet you when you arrive at the Home. Planning and prioritising is always a daily challenge, as best made plans can easily change at short notice with unplanned reactive works.

I really enjoy spending time with our residents and my work colleagues; it is a friendly place. I also value having a good work life balance.

RMBI Care Co. is very proactive with training and strong in this area. Apart from the mandatory ‘care home’ training, I have also completed multiple courses to help me carry out my role, such as Asbestos Awareness, Legionella, IOSH, Leadership and Development, NICEIC Electrical Replacement, City and Guilds PAT and MIDAS.

the satisfaction of seeing a happy resident when I have completed a maintenance task for them. I always remember that what might seem like a relatively small task can mean the world to one of our residents.

I began my journey with RMBI Care Co. in 2013 as a Care Support Worker at Ecclesholme, in Manchester. Today, I am the Recruitment Manager working nationally across all our Homes.

My Dad was a Freemason and I’d attended many Masonic events to support him in his various roles. I was looking for an opportunity to join a care provider who shared the same values as me, and Dad, who’d visited Ecclesholme with the Association of Friends, recommended RMBI Care Co. and got me an application form.

It has been a privilege to support our residents throughout my career. From my initial role as Care Support Worker, I moved on to become a Senior Care Support Worker, a Home Trainer, Investigations Officer and now the Recruitment Manager.

Care is what I do and who I am. RMBI Care Co. gave me something I can believe in; a community where people truly care about each other. Regardless of the part we all play across the organisation, we live by a set of core values and all contribute in various ways to supporting the most vulnerable in our communities. In my new role, my focus is on helping the Homes to bring in enough of the right people who are suitably skilled, qualified and share our values, to support our residents to the highest possible standards, as they so rightly deserve.

If developing meaningful connections with people is important you, and if you live by values that include kindness, empathy, trust, supportiveness and compassion, then you were born for a career in care. Every day is a rewarding experience, knowing that your contribution is supporting people to live their best lives. If this sounds like you, don’t hesitate to start your career in care; you bring those caring qualities and RMBI Care Co. will provide you with all the tools and skills you need to get started.

There is no ‘typical day’ as a Facilities Manager; the role is extremely varied. My role covers all aspects of facilities from the direct maintenance and managing contractors to compliance, health and safety. Providing our residents with a safe and homely environment is what drives everything we do.

We have a great team here at Queen Elizabeth Court in Llandudno and working with them is very rewarding. What I enjoy most is spending time with our residents and listening to their stories. When they are happy, they let you know and when they aren’t happy, they let you know. When we can do something to help turn that around, it is extremely rewarding.

I have been provided my IOSH qualification as part of my training which has been invaluable as a Facilities Manager, I have also been able to utilise my skills from the construction industry daily.

a tough job as there is a lot to do and achieve. It is however varied and because no two days are the same, it keeps me challenged.

when we built the visitor pod and our residents were able to see their families properly for the first time in a while. It was hard work and we had to do it as quickly as possible but it was worth the effort. The residents use it constantly and are trying to convince me to turn it into a gin bar!
