We asked our staff “What is the best thing about working for Brendoncare?” This is what they said:

“The home has a nice atmosphere, the residents are lovely and the staff really care for the residents.”

Colleague at Chiltern View
“Because it is a charity, care is the focus behind our work. Whilst profits are important to develop services, I do not feel we are profit driven. A really good ethos behind Brendoncare.”

Colleague at Woodhayes
“The leadership from unit managers right up to CEO is accessible and shows professionalism towards people and situations. You are given plenty of opportunities to voice your opinion if you wish to.”

Colleague at Ronald Gibson House
“I am treated with respect by my fellow colleagues. It is a friendly, relaxed and happy place to work.”

Colleague at Alton
“Brendoncare enriches and improves the lives of individuals. Not only the people we support, but employees as well.”

Colleague at Stildon
“The staff are lovely and as a new employee they have made me so welcome.”

Colleague at Knightwood
“The residents and all people that work at Brendoncare are very respectful and caring towards everyone else at here.”

Colleague at Park Road
“Knowing that everything we do is for our residents and club members.”

Colleague at Central Office
“It's like one big family, staff and residents together. I wouldn't want to work anywhere else.”

Colleague at The Old Parsonage
“Being part of such a dedicated, caring and hard-working organisation. I am proud to be playing my part within it.”

Colleague at Brendoncare Clubs
“Everyone works well together, the residents and my work colleagues are just like one big family. When you first enter the home the atmosphere is lovely and friendly.”

Colleague at Meadway

“I like working as part of a team and have a really good relationship with the residents. I like their stories and listening to music with them. We are like friends who laugh and chat together.”

Christine, Carer

“I am not just their nurse, I am their friend. They rely on me when they’re not well. I always know when something is not right because I know when they are not well. I feel very supported by my Home Manager.”

Maria, Nurse

“I love working for Brendoncare because I am part of a great team who make me feel supported.”

Debbie, Hostess

“I care for my gentlemen and ladies, supporting them to remain independent in their own home. Not only do I care for them, I do their shopping. I always do a little bit extra. They want me to be around 24/7 and don’t want me to have a day off. I like listening to the history of their lives and what their jobs were.”

“As Chef Manager in the smallest Brendoncare home, I know my role is unique, and the thing that makes my job worthwhile is serving morning coffee to every resident and discussing the day’s menu with them. So I have the chance to provide a very personal service, which I enjoy very much.”

Jacqueline, Chef Manager
