Uckfield care home celebrates as staff members ace courses

Staff at Hurstwood View in Uckfield were delighted when Zoe & Ellie completed their training to become Care Practitioners, a new role which will enable them to support nurses in the home & Adam, completed his Adult Care Worker Apprenticeship level 2.

Zoe, Ellie & Adam were presented with gifts & cards at a celebration in the home to mark their achievement.

The Care Practitioner role has been introduced by Barchester Healthcare, the organisation that runs the home, in order to further develop talented care staff and enable them to give more support to the nurses working at the home.

Zoe & Ellie are the first staff at the home to complete the course and are already making a big difference to maintaining and developing its standard of care.

Esther, General Manager at Hurstwood View said: “Zoe & Ellie are an integral members of the team who excels at what they do. I’m delighted that they have completed the training and progressed into this new role, which will help our home run even more efficiently and will enable them to develop their career further. All three have worked so hard and I’m very proud of them all.”

Zoe said: “I really enjoyed learning lots of new skills and building on the knowledge I have gathered during my time here working at the home. I look forward to growing further within this role and continuing to support the people we care for.”
