Karen, the House Manager

Hello! My name is Karen, and I am the House Manager here at Heathside in one of the nicest areas of London. As the name suggests, we are around the corner from the beautiful Golders Hill Park and the Hampstead Heath extension, so it’s the perfect place for those that like to spend some time in nature. Heathside is ideally located close to all the amenities you could want and has excellent transport links to just about everywhere in London and beyond.

I came to Heathside with a wealth of experience gained over the years in a variety of roles from Project / Client services Management to setting up and running a Charity for Health and Wellbeing.

I was told about the opportunity to work at Heathside by a friend of mine who lives in one of the other Osprey properties. She knows me from my Charity work and felt I would be the perfect fit for the role.

I’m only a few months into the job but I am thoroughly enjoying it. I’m constantly upbeat and find the positive in everything I do, and this has had a ripple effect with our lovely residents. It’s great to see them sharing stories and enjoying each other’s company during the coffee mornings and I love to hear their laughter as it echoes down to my office.  In the afternoons there are activities that take place such as movie afternoons and art sessions and I have been asked if I can teach some Meditation and wellness exercises. I think it’s the perfect way for them to wind down at the end of the week.

Heathside itself is about to undergo a designer lead makeover with a beautiful colour pallet that is vibrant, timeless, and elegant, just like our lovely residents!  I can’t wait to see the results!
