Amanda Taylor
Receptionist, Langham Court
Hi, I’m Amanda and I’ve been working at Langham Court for over three years as a receptionist. I am married to my husband Tony, and we have six grown up girls and ten grandchildren between us. When I’m at home, I love to spend time with my family, cycling, going kayaking, reading and walking with the family. I started my career in care in 2001 as a housekeeper, and worked my way up to being deputy manager. Care to me is a vocation, not a job, and I feel very privileged to be a part of it. Due to a change in circumstances, I wanted to stay in care and decided to take up my post as the Langham Court receptionist and administrator, which is where I started after leaving school. I still wanted to work within the care sector as it has meant so much to me over the years.
Having been lucky enough to get my position as the receptionist here, I have enjoyed every minute. I love the way we are all one big family, looking after those who live here and working together towards a common aim. Langham Court is so unique; we usually see families of squirrels playing in the trees, foxes and their cubs scouting in and out of the bushes in springtime, and even numerous deer with their young come trotting up the drive. Nature is at it’s best here, and it’s lovely to be able to share it with those who live with us.
