Meet the Ashchurch View Care Home Team

Hello, I'm Becky and the Deputy Manager here at Ashchurch View Care Home.

Being appointed as Deputy Manager has been the highlight of my career so far and I'm really enjoying working in the private care sector.  

Prior to me joining Barchester, I worked for the NHS, but have always been drawn back into care of the elderly.

As a Deputy Manager it is important to be diligent, organised and with a keen eye for detail but be caring and demonstrate the compassion which is imperative to this role.  I'm very hard working, have good interpersonal skills and I'm fully committed to the home and providing best in class care.

I'm proud to be working with such a fantastic team who make a difference each an every day to the residents lives.  I love to see our residents enjoying the activities we put on in the home and it has become my favourite part of my working day. .

I relish supporting the Ashchurch View care team and I'm excited about our care journey where we are pushing to go from 'Good to Outstanding’.

Should you ever wish to talk with me, please don't hesitate to come and find me or pick up the telephone, I'm here to help.

Hello, my name is John and I'm delighted to be Head Chef here at Ashchurch View.

Life before food was all about horses where I lived and breathed everything to do with the racing world.  This came to an abrupt end when my horse and the upcoming jump had a 'disagreement'.

Post my accident I decided to study food and have been fortunate to take my skills to locations all around the world adding vibrance and flavour to my knowledge pot.

I joined the Barchester team in 2017 and really enjoy working within the elderly care sector as it's not just about tasty food but also about nutrition and planning a balanced diet for our residents.

It is great getting to know the residents individually and it's a pleasure to work for them as I get to try out new recipes and of course, old favourites.  Diet is so important and I thrive at producing nutritious, seasonal, fresh and delicious recipes for our residents and believe this translates into the food I and the kitchen team, serve.

Please feel free to drop into Ashchurch View anytime and have a coffee and one of our tasty patries, I look forward to the feedback.
