Success stories from our colleagues

Rob: From Nurse to Area Director

“I loved my time as a Nurse at HC-One, as I supported residents to live their very best life, helping improve their health and wellbeing and learning about their life stories along the way.

“After a few years and close mentoring from my senior colleagues, I developed my leadership skills and was invited to apply for the Home Manager position at the home I was based at. As much as I loved my career as a Nurse, I was keen to put my new skills to use as Home Manager and applied, later finding out that I had got the job! It was an extremely proud moment for me.

“After a few years of going from strength to strength as Home Manager, I felt ready to take my next step with HC-One and applied for the Area Director position and was pleased to find out I had been successful.

“I’ve been an Area Director at HC-One for a few years now, and I can truly say I love it just as much as every other role I’ve pursued with this organisation. Ultimately, though, the aim of each role I’ve had within HC-One remains the same: to deliver the kindest possible care.”

Patience: From Care Assistant to Home Manager

“When I started my journey with a HC-One care home in 2015, I never believed I could one day become Home Manager, but HC-One inspired me to achieve my dream career. From the moment I started my career in care, I knew it was the right job for me. “In 2017, I progressed to the Senior Care Assistant position and was keen to develop my skills as much as possible. I enrolled for an adult nursing degree at my local university and was supported throughout my course by the team at HC-One, as I continued to work part time alongside my studies.

“With my growing knowledge and insight into the nursing profession, I was later promoted to Unit Manager and was delighted to take responsibility for ensuring best care and outcomes for our residents. I gained a newfound confidence as Unit Manager and, with a couple of years’ experience in the role, I took the next step in my career as Deputy Home Manager. Again, I felt ready for an increase in responsibility, and, with the support and encouragement of my team, I progressed to my current role as Home Manager in 2021.

"While I have worn many different hats at HC-One, the truth is that I have loved every single job here and cannot wait to see where the future takes me.”
