A spotlight on Sandra | News from Saxonwood

Sandra joined our team as Care Home Administrator at Saxonwood in Battle in November 2021 and shares an insight into her role and the daily responsibilities she has.

“I have a background in administration as previously I worked as an administrator at The Priory in Heathfield, so I bring quite a bit of experience to this role. I was attracted to working for Sussex Housing & Care because it felt homely, bright and friendly at Saxonwood. I find working with older people incredibly interesting, finding out all about their life stories and careers.

I’m responsible for HR, finance, customer enquiries and the day to day support for staff. I’ve settled in well and my days are busy. Everyone has been kind, supportive and I’ve had encouragement every step of the way. I also have the opportunity to arrange activities for residents and today we’ve done some crafts. It’s great seeing residents have fun and also for me to have the variety from my desk work. It’s so important to get to know residents and they also get to know me, we have a good laugh and a joke.

Working at Saxonwood is like a big family, we have fun together and it’s a brilliant place to work, I look forward to coming in!”
