Meet our Staff
Karen Tait - Operation & Compliance Manager
Hello, my name is Karen Tait and I am the Operations and Compliance Manager for Care Staffing Ltd.
I have worked in the caring profession for over 30 years after being trained in Rugby’s Hospital of St Cross as a Health Care Assistant, before moving to the private sector.
I later became a Registered Care Manager for more than 20 years,
managing a total of 8 different Nursing and Residential Care Homes, in and around Rugby. I later became an Operations Manager overseeing a total of 9 Care Homes, both here in Rugby and also in Dorset and Wiltshire.
I have a proven record of management and “hands-on” care skills and have a personal philosophy of care which demands that Service Users receive the same care, love and respect that members of our own family would expect; believing strongly that without these three basic values, people who are in care or who are being cared for at home, cannot have the quality of life to which they are entitled.
I have attended many training courses over the years that I have been working in the caring profession, my two highest qualifications accomplished being:
- Advanced Management in Care
- City & amp; Guilds NVQ Level 7 in Care.
I have a bright and friendly personality with courteous telephone/verbal skills which makes me very approachable.
