Meet the Bluebell Park Care Home team

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.

Hi, my name is Justyna  and I am the activities coordinator here at Bluebell Park. I have worked for Barchester Healthcare since 2015.  I am very passionate about working with the elderly and keeping them as active as possible.

My creative side helps me prepare an interesting and full activity programme which benefits the residents and family and friends. Seeing a smile on their faces brings me joy and motivates me every day.

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.

Hi, my name is Kerry, I joined Barchester Bluebell Park in February 2012 as a carer and have progressed my career to become a senior carer, a position which I have held for over 4-years. I really enjoy my work and developing relationships with our residents is the best part of my job as they all have a story to share.
