More than just a job The care sector is notorious for people moving from one employer to another. At Sunrise Senior Living, people looking for long-term careers are welcomed, supported and given the tools for a long-lasting career B efore Martin Corrigan joined Sunrise Senior Living three years ago, a career in care was the last thing on his mind. ‘I was a lifelong food retailer and could not see me doing anything else. Then one day, a recruitment consultant asked me if I would be interested in a career in the care industry,’ says Martin. ‘When I walked through the door of Sunrise, I was immediately impressed with the quality of the décor and lack of clinical feeling. It definitely felt more like visiting a 5-star hotel than a care home.’ MARTIN p52 21031-103449 sunrise senior living DPS.indd 52 Martin took the opportunity and, after three months training, became general manager of the Sunrise community in Southbourne, Dorset. ‘I spent two very happy years there. We were voted the best Sunrise in the UK last year and the team were given £30,000 to share among ourselves,’ says Martin. ‘When we received the money, we all decided to donate a proportion to The Alzheimer Society, a cause that affects a lot of people, and it is one that our team is very close to.’ Martin has now moved to another Sunrise community in CORRIGAN Westbourne, also in Dorset. In addition, he’s taking a leading role in a national initiative to make sure every Sunrise team member feels empowered and engaged with the business. ‘The level of job satisfaction is much greater than I could ever imagine and you also learn a lot about yourself in the process,’ says Martin. Making lifelong friends Jane Faust – now head of housekeeping at Sunrise of Frognal House, near Sidcup, Kent – has a similar story. ‘I started with Sunrise in January 2000. Frognal was the first Sunrise to open in the UK and had been open for just two months when I joined. Now, I’ve been here happily for 13 years. 4/2/13 10:02:10 http://www.sunrise-team.co.uk
