At Care UK's Perry Manor in Worcester, Worcestershire, providing the highest standard of care for residents is at the heart of what we do. As part of our friendly team, you'll have the opportunity to develop your career and the support to go far.
Our team works in a purpose-built care home with a family atmosphere. We provide residential, dementia and nursing care with fantastic facilities for residents, including our own coffee shop and bar, hair and beauty salon and cinema.
We truly believe that every one of us makes a difference. If you're a passionate, caring individual who works well in a team, consider a rewarding career at Perry Manor.
Join our team and you'll have the chance to get creative in the kitchen while cooking up nutritious, well-balanced meals that have a direct impact on residents’ health and wellbeing.
Many catering colleagues join us from restaurants or hotels where they’re used to working long hours late into the night. In a care home, you’ll work more sociable hours, and you’ll also have the opportunity to build relationships by getting to know residents and their tastes and preferences. This is a role where you can really make a difference.

Ive been a qualified Mental Health Nurse for 23 years, and before I joined the Perry Manor team in 2016 was the Deputy Hospital Director of a psychiatric hospital. Having previously worked for Care UK in its mental health division, I respected the organisations ‘care first, business second ethos, so it was a natural choice when I wanted the challenge of running a residential care home.
I have a passion for person-centred care and I see how hard my team works every day to deliver impressively personalised care. I love walking around the home chatting to residents, relatives and colleagues. I also enjoy delivering colleague training. Every member of the team brings something different, and supporting them to achieve their potential is a large part of what I do.
Its been an exciting few years at Perry Manor. In late 2018 we were thrilled to receive an ‘outstanding rating from the Care Quality Commission at our routine quality inspection. We were the first home in Worcester to achieve this rating.
Im also honoured to have won some recent awards: silver in the British Journal of Nursing Awards 2019 and Best Dementia Care Manager at the National Dementia Care Awards 2019.
Away from work, I like to unwind by doing yoga or some gardening. My two children keep me busy too.
