Meet the Raleigh Manor Care Home Team

When I started as a carer ten years ago I quickly realised this was something that I loved doing. I am fortunate to have had the opportunity with Barchester to move from Carer to Senior Carer and now Deputy Manager at Raleigh Manor. Raleigh Manor's residents feel like family to me and their experience here is very important to me.

I have been with Barchester for 14 years now so when I made the move to Exmouth I knew exactly where I wanted to be.  Raleigh Manor is a very special home in a spectacular location so I feel very lucky to be continuing my caring career her with Barchester.

I am a Senior Carer with 11 years of caring under my belt already and still loving every minute. I have experience in night and day care along with specialist dementia training. It is a pleasure to be a part of this great team at Raleigh Manor.

Alison has over 13 years experience in care including working in the community and in specialist dementia communities. Her practical approach and knowledge have made her a perfect choice as Community Lead here at Raleigh Manor for our Ladram Lane community.

Born and raised in New Zealand I moved to Devon with my English partner to support the family. My career in the aged care industry started in New Zealand with Metlifecare, a very highly respected lifestyle and nursing care provider. 

I have extensive experience in administration within the health sector. The opportunity to put that experience to great use here at Raleigh Manor is very rewarding for me.

It is a pleasure to be part of such a high-quality service delivering the very best experience to our residents every day.

I joined Barchester as a carer in 2019, and quickly realised I had a passion for helping people live their best lives. In June 2022 after a move to Exmouth, I joined the team Raleigh Manor as a carer and enjoyed helping with the activities. When the role of Activities Coordinator became available, I jumped at the chance to combine my care background with my desire to truly enrich the lives of the residents in my care.

I have worked as a Chef for many years in the restaurant world but decided I wanted to move in a different direction. Being Head Chef at Raleigh Manor is more like cooking for a very large family. Food is a very important part of life at Raleigh Manor and I love the personal touch this enables me to deliver.

I am a City and Guilds qualified carpenter and joiner and I have over 25 years' knowledge of working in care home property maintenance. The environment here at Raleigh Manor is very special. The outlook from this wonderful property is spectacular and provides a refreshing place to work.

I have worked for a number of years within the care sector and enjoy every minute of it.  I enjoy getting to know our residents and seeing them happy.  It is an honour to be able to welcome visitors into such a beautiful home and to help our new residents settle in.

Tracy has worked within the care sector for many years in recruitment and administration roles. We are now lucky enough to have Tracy assisting us part-time with reception and administration.
