Hi, My name is Karen, I am the Administrator here at Florence Court. 

I have worked for many years in an office environment within the care industry and enjoy all aspects of my role, especially working alongside the Management Team to ensure the home runs in an efficient and professional manner, which means our care team can concentrate on our residents and deliver the outstanding care they are known to achieve.

Florence Court is furnished and decorated to a very high standard, making the working environment a pleasure to work in. I have been made to feel very welcome at Barchetser and part of a well-established team.

I have been working in the Care Sector for 5 years and started out as a Domestic and Laundry Assistant. I decided that I wanted to progress my career in an Activities capacity so became an activities provider then progressed to an Activities Co-Ordinator which I did for 2 years prior to joining the team at Florence Court . I have a real passion for Activities and get a great deal of pleasure in enriching the residents life's through meaningful activities. I love getting to know the residents and spending time with them finding out what they love to do. Every day is very different and rewarding. 

I have been a chef for over 35 years  I started my career in hospitality by studying at Highbury College, where I achieved my City & Guilds qualification and a catering diploma.

I left college and went straight to London to work in a high end restaurant in Knightsbridge. From London, I worked abroad for a few years, including France, Italy, Switzerland and the Channel Islands.
