Belmont View

As the Home Manager I feel very fortunate to be given the opportunity and the responsibility to care for our residents and I am proud to be the Home Manager of Belmont View.

As the Deputy Manager, I ensure the best quality person centred care is delivered to all our residents. I am passionate about Rhythms of life ethos and promoting this within the home.

The Deputy Home Manager shares responsibility with the Home Manager for running the home. Deputy Manager’s will each bring their own skill set to the home, some offering more assistance with the business side of things while others focus largely on care. However, whether they look at it from a business or care perspective, the focus of the Deputy is always to ensure that their home is offering the very best quality of life for our residents. Experienced and either holding or working towards their qualifications, Deputy Home Managers are capable and driven to providing the best of everything for their residents.

I enjoy being able to provide an enjoyable, quality food experience for the residents.

Keeping the team of Housekeepers running as it should is the Housekeeping Manager. Supervising and organising their teams is just part of it as these Managers work alongside them to keep the home clean and inviting. The comfort of residents is the most important thing to our Housekeeping Managers which is why they work so hard to create an environment in which residents can’t help but feel at home. Multi-tasking and communication skills are some of the most important of the Housekeeping Manager’s qualities as they and their team create a home where resident’s dignity is never compromised and independence is always encouraged. Our Housekeeping Managers ensure that all areas of our home are safe, clean, well maintained and presented in a way to create a warm and homely environment. They have an important role in maintaining our infection, prevention and control standards to make sure our residents stay well.

The chance to meet people from all walks of life is the one of the highlights of my job and talking and care for those who need some support and company is a very rewarding experience.

I enjoy my work mostly because of the variety I find in it, but also because it gives me a chance to keep things organised and to meet and interact with people.
