Meet the team

I joined Ashford House in 2009 as a Junior Nurse. Thanks to my mentor, I was promoted to the Head of Unit for our Chestnut and Haleham units.

My role also comprises the mentoring of my junior colleagues to ensure that we can provide high standards of care to those we support.

As a Head of Unit, I make sure that show rooms are kept presentable for visitors.

Whilst at Barchester, I have been given many opportunities to take courses, including a leadership course, which has helped me improve the quality of my work.

I am a proud nurse and I will always endeavour to provide a high standard of care to residents of Ashford House.

Sean started at Ashford House as a volunteer, as he required 6 weeks work experience for a course at college. During these 6 weeks it became apparent that Sean had a real talent for working in this environment. Sean showed compassion and respect to all residents instantly. After Sean completed his work experience he was offered a position as the Activities assistant. 6 months later Sean now is a valued member of the department and the Ashford House Team, he delivers meaningful activities and supports the residents with all their needs and choices.

Sharon has been Head Chef here at Ashford House for just over a year now. As Head chef, Sharon has many responsibilities, which include providing nutritious meals for residents, making sure that meals look presentable and appetising, managing the budget for the kitchen and supporting special events, such as holidays and residents' birthdays. Alongside all of that, Sharon aims to always use seasonal fresh produce and cater for the needs and desires of those we support.
