Hi, I am Nicola Lomas and I have worked in care for 7 years starting as a care assistant and progressing to my current position of Deputy Manager and have recently passed my Level 5 in Care Management and Leadership.
I love my job and feel honoured to be able to be part of the residents and families lives. Each day is different, and the residents constantly surprise me, keep me on my toes and make me smile on daily basis.
I’m looking forward to my new role at Weavers Court and working with a team that shares the same values as myself and are passionate about care, respect, dignity, kindness, teamwork, and job satisfaction.
I have four children – 2 boys and 2 girls and love meals out as well as nights in with a takeaway and a bit of telly. I also enjoy going to watch live music.
We recently held our recruitment assessment days at the Greenacres Hall, in Rawdon, for our brand new, luxury care home, Weavers Court, which is set to open this October.
We were particularly pleased with the excellent turn out, quality of candidates, enthusiasm and commitment displayed. It also gave us an opportunity for us to go through the roles at Weavers Court Care Home in more detail.
Both days were lively and interactive with intuitive ice breakers and solid care based scenario assessments, which were delivered by our Quality Care Director, General Manager, Care Manager and newly appointed Deputy Manager who has just achieved her NVQ Level 5.
We are still recruiting for a range of different roles so make sure to check out adorecarehomes.co.uk or call us on 0113 465 3000.
Weavers Court, our Leeds Care Home situated in the beautiful new Green Lane Mills development at Yeadon has surprisingly welcomed two new residents even before the home is complete!
Settling on an area of sheltered scaffolding are two nesting pigeons who have made themselves’ quite at home!
Bob McGuigan, LNT Care Developments Site Manager at Weavers Court said “As nesting birds they are protected and more than welcome to settle here during their nesting season. The lads have been careful to work around them. All part of being Considerate Constructors!”
The brooding pair have not yet been named but Dawn Barrie, Care Manager of the soon to be opened new home said “Pigeons are monogamous and breed for several seasons as long as both birds of a pair live” adding, “We hope to see other couples settling in at Weavers Court when the doors open officially in October!”
