Luba’s specialties include resident diets, event management and preparation, and his passion lies in care home kitchens. Deb, Shelly, Nicola, and Maureen are also integral members of the team and are always on hand to support our residents with any dietary requirements.

Julie really enjoys shopping and travelling and if she isn’t doing that Julie likes to play bingo. Julie’s favourite place is being with resident and enjoying their company

Originally a marine biologist and documentary maker, Niall found his vocation for healthcare 10 years ago while working in home care while between documentary projects. He qualified as a nurse in 2015 and until recently worked in a specialist dementia unit. Over the years, Niall has acquired the general nursing skills that mean he can now meet the needs of all our residents, whether they have dementia or not.

Jayde is the Administrator and Bamfield Lodge and runs the Administration Team. Jayde has a background in HealthCare and IT Recruitment and she joined the home in 2021. Jayde is thoroughly enjoying her time at Bamfield Lodge and feels not only is it a rewarding role but it’s also a privilege to learn about so many interesting residents and the lives they’ve led. Jayde said: 'The home has a real family feel and I’m honoured to be a part of it.'

I have been Activities Lead at Bamfield Lodge for one year now. I have worked in the same role for several years with another care provider, so have lots of experience in delivering person centred activities for older adults living in residential settings. I also worked for two years as a heath care assistant at a nursing unit, so I have a good understanding of both clinical and holistic needs.

I have a background in teaching and learning, along with community based youth and legal work and so I have built up a very detailed knowledge of our locality, having lived and worked here for over thirty years.

I am passionate about providing the highest quality care and I endeavour to work closely with our residents, families and the wider community to ensure successful outcomes.

Outside of work I enjoy walking my dog, family time and singing and performing. I also belong to a ladies Barbershop choir.  

Katrina has been at Bamfield Lodge for 8 years and is a very dedicated team member and very passionate. Katrina has been a very big support during this hard time. Katrina really enjoys watching old movies, swimming and enjoys travelling and exploring the world. Katrina’s favourite place is the beach.
