Zoe Postgate
Hi, my name is Zoe and I am the General Manager here at Chater Lodge.
Having worked in care since leaving school, I have worked my way up from apprentice to my current senior position. Most of my time at Chater Lodge has been spent as a Deputy Manager, but I was promoted to General Manager in July 2017.
I enjoy making people laugh and feeling loved, taking on new challenges and gaining knowledge through experience and training.
I spend my time outside of work keeping fit, walking my dogs and sat in front of a fire reading about my favourite subject of Greek myths!
Kelly-Ann Bates
Kelly joined the team at Chater Lodge as the Deputy Manager in 2018. Kelly has had previous experience working within care homes with the community nurse for over 9 years (Chater being one of them) and took the opportunity to come into the role as Deputy Manager here as a rewarding challenge and personal goal.
Kelly is a big asset to the team; not only is she committed to promoting our values and working alongside the General Manager to constantly improve our services and exceed targets, but the staff and residents already feel like she is part of the Chater family.
