With a career rooted in compassion and dedication, I began in a brain injury rehabilitation unit in 2006, rising from a care assistant to a managerial role. My leadership journey continued in 2021 as a manager at Castlemeadow Care, where I honed my skills in residential and dementia management. Today, I proudly serve as the manager of The Mayfields Care home, where I am committed to providing high-quality care and fostering a supportive environment for both residents and staff.
I started working for Castlemeadow Care in 2016, first as a Senior Care Assistant and then Head of the Residential suite. I have recently been promoted to the Deputy Manager. I am passionate about providing quality care to meet an individual’s needs and wishes. Whilst promoting choice, respect and independence to ensure a sense of achievement and fulfilment for our residents. I am fortunate to lead a team that expresses the same values and views.
I joined The Mayfields in February 2019 as Head of Administration, previously I have undertaken roles including Office Management and within Financial Services. I have very much enjoyed the environment at The Mayfields and aim to provide an excellent level of service to all our residents and their families.
After 22 years in the RAF, I joined the Mayfields as a Catering Assistant. I have worked hard and learnt from the previous Chefs I have worked with, and in January 2017 I became Head Chef. As Head Chef I am passionate about ensuring the residents have the food they enjoy, providing nutritional value and personal preferences with each meal. I am passionate about sourcing local fresh ingredients to ensure the best possible food is available for all the residents.
I joined The Mayfields in September 2019 on the activities team. I have worked in similar roles in other care homes and have 30 years of experience in the care sector. I am so happy to be part of the team and I am looking forward to enhancing the lives of our residents.
I have been at The Mayfields as Head of Housekeeping since November 2019. My passion is to ensure that all our residents have a lovely clean home to live in. I have a great team who support me on a daily basis making sure everything is clean and tidy. I particularly enjoy talking to and seeing all the residents, as well as being part of a great team.
