Jude Shibu

General Manager

Hi, my name is Jude and I am the General Manager here at Chacombe Park. Welcome to our website!

I have been an RGN since 1999. I lived in Saudi Arabia until 2008, which is when I moved to the UK. I completed my nursing studies at Northampton University and worked as a nurse in Banbury until 2011.

In 2011, I completed my NVQ Level 5 in Management and worked part-time as an assessor for nursing students wishing to join the NMC register.

Now I am with the Chacombe Park team and I am responsible for running this beautiful, purpose-built care home. My passion is to provide an outstanding service for those we support in a warm and pleasant environment.

I live locally and love being a part of this team. I am married and lucky to have such a kind and supportive husband. I also have 2 loving kids who make my life wonderful at home. In my spare time, I enjoy travelling with family and friends.

My favourite saying is: 'life is beautiful'.

Heather Gooch

Activities Coordinator

My name is Heather and I am the Head of Activities here at Chacombe Park. My role is to ensure that all residents are supported in enjoying hobbies and events that enrich their life.

I have a Bachelors degree in Theatre Performance, as well as a PGCE in Secondary Drama. I have previously worked for another Barchester home back in 2012 before working as a secondary school teacher, teaching Drama at both GCSE and A Level. I have a passion for person centred care, which has come from my love of pastoral work during my time as a teacher. I want each resident to feel appreciated and supported to enjoy the skills/hobbies that they have treasured before their time at Chacombe.

In my spare time I enjoy singing, cross stitch and learning new skills. I endeavour to bring these hobbies and passions into my role here at Chacombe, as well as learn some new skills from the vast range of knowledge that our residents can bring!
