New role at Shoreham care home will give nurses better support

Amanda completed training at Kingsland House to become care practitioner, a role which will enable her to support nurses in the home.

She is the first person at the Kingsland Close home to complete the course and manager Karen Williams said she is already making a big difference to maintaining and developing the standard of care.

Amanda said: “I really enjoyed learning lots of new skills and building on the knowledge I have gathered during my 20 years working at the home.

“This achievement also coincided with my anniversary of 20 years service here at Barchester. I look forward to growing further within this role and continuing to support the people we care for.”

Amanda was presented with flowers and a bottle of prosecco at a celebration to mark her achievement.

The new care practitioner role has been introduced to further develop talented care staff and enable them to give more support to the nurses working at the home.

Karen said: “Amanda is an integral member of the team who excels at what she does. I’m delighted that she has completed the training and progressed into this new role, which will help our home run even more efficiently and will enable Amanda to develop her career further.”
