Meet the Bluebell Park Care Home team

I started working at Bluebell in September 2017 and I believe that it was one of the best decisions I've ever made for my career. Bluebell is a lovely place – a home away from home – and I strive to make sure it feels like that for others too.

I qualified as a nurse in 2011 in India and moved to the UK in 2016. In my life, I have always aimed higher and we are striving to see Bluebell receive an ‘Outstanding’ rating from the CQC for the exceptional work the staff do every day. I’m passionate about ensuring that we maintain the high standards we set ourselves.

Sarah has been the administrator at Bluebell since September 2012, and has worked in accounts since leaving school. She really enjoys working at Bluebell and has found everyone friendly and helpful since she joined.

In her spare time she enjoys walking, birdwatching and following Derby County football club. She enjoys doing all of this with her 8 year old son Billy.

I completed my nursing training in 2006, in India. I moved to England in 2010 and started my career in 2011 with Bluebell Park. I recently became Head of Unit in July 2015 and it was the best decision I have made.

In my spare time, I and my son like to go adventuring around Derbyshire; our favourite adventure is Strawberry picking.

I joined Bluebell Park in September 2019, but I have worked in the care sector for a number of years. I love interacting with the residents, and it's a nice feeling knowing that I am making a difference to their lives. 

I am excited about the future of working for Barchester, and I hope to bring much experience and knowledge to an already great team.

Before getting into music therapy, I was a violinist and conductor. Through this career, I had experienced the enormous enrichment that music provides and the idea of working in music therapy had been bubbling in me for some time. However, it was a conversation in a pub which finally spurred me to do it; I was talking to a violinist who plays in an orchestra I conduct. She is a music therapist and asked if I would like to spend a day with her as an assistant. I did this and it is true to say it was a life changing experience. I came straight home, got on the internet and tracked down a course with Nordoff Robbins.

I graduated with my Master's degree in 2013 and have been working at Bluebell Park ever since. It wasn’t my first time at the home though, as I spent my placement year working here!

Hi, my name is Jordan and I have been at Bluebell Park since November 2017, and I have always loved gardening.

In 2013, I completed a horticulture course and obtained NVQ Levels 1 and 2. I plan to make the gardens at Bluebell Park a place for residents and loved ones to relax, whilst enjoying my hobby and extending my knowledge of horticulture.

I feel lucky to have the opportunity to work in such a quality garden and it is great to do what I love as a job.

I started my career in 1984 as a trainee chef and I still love to cook!

I have been at Bluebell Park since the opening in October 2010; I started as the second chef. Then became the Head Chef in June 2015 and love it!  We all provide a high quality catering and dining experience to all our residents and vistors. Our menu is a four week menu, where we use fresh products daily.

In my spare time I am kept very busy with my 3 children and Husband but when I get a minute to myself I enjoy reading.
