A Career in Care: Journey to Head of Care at Moorhouse

Too often, careers in social care are overlooked as temporary or transitional roles, but for Red Saluguti, it has been a fulfilling and meaningful journey of growth and dedication.

Originally from India, Red moved to the UK in January 2020 to pursue a Master’s degree in Computer Science. However, when he decided to remain in the UK through sponsorship, he discovered a new passion for the care sector.

Red joined Moorhouse Care Home in April 2022 as a Carer.

“In my first year, I learned the importance of person-centred care, compassion, and loyalty in making a real difference in residents' lives,” he says.

His dedication and commitment were evident, and after just over a year, Red was promoted to Team Leader in 2023. In this role, he embraced additional responsibilities, further developing his skills in leadership and supporting his team.

In December 2024, Red’s dedication was again recognised when he was promoted to Head of Care. Currently, he is completing his Level 5 NVQ Diploma in Leadership and Management—a qualification that underscores his commitment to personal and professional growth.

Red finds his role deeply rewarding.

“The most rewarding part of my job as a Carer, Team Leader, and now Head of Care is seeing the positive difference I can make in people’s lives. Knowing that I help improve their comfort, happiness, and well-being gives me a real sense of fulfilment,” he says. “I also find it rewarding to support and guide my team, helping everyone work together to provide the best care possible. Watching residents thrive and knowing I’ve played a part in their happiness and health is what makes my work meaningful.”

Red’s journey exemplifies how a career in care can provide continuous opportunities for growth, learning, and leadership. He is proud of his 100% attendance award, which reflects his dedication to the role and the residents he serves.

“As our care home transitioned from a nursing to a residential setting, I am excited to continue leading with compassion and excellence to ensure the best quality of life for our residents,” Red shares. “With compassion and support, I believe that talent and dedication can flourish, and through continuous effort, we can achieve great progress in caring for others.”

Red Saluguti’s story is a powerful testament to the rewarding and progressive career opportunities that social care offers, proving that dedication and a compassionate heart can make a lasting impact.
