Meet the team

I have worked for Barchester since 1999. My aim is to deliver exceptional care to residents and inspire my team of dedicated carers to achieve the same exceptional high standards.

One thing that I feel is really important is offering residents a lot of personal choices; I feel that Collingtree Park is their home, so they have the right to choose what goes on here. I'm hands-on and like to spend as much time as possible with the people I care for. I also enjoy getting to know residents' families and provide them with support when they need it.

I have worked at Collingtree Park since 1996 and was promoted to Head Chef in 2016. We have been awarded 5 stars for hygiene and we are proud of our high standards. My passion is providing excellent, nutritious, homemade food that residents enjoy, including cakes, biscuits and traditional menus. I am proud to manage the strong catering team at the home.

I began working at Collingtree Park as a Maintenance Assistant in October 2014; I become the Head of Maintenance here in December 2014. My main responsibility is to keep the home in full working condition and in compliance with Barchester Policies. 

Families often rely on me to help them personalise residents’ rooms by putting up pictures and shelves. You will often see me burrowing around my workshop/office in our  Memory Lane community preparing for my next job. Sometimes I go unnoticed whilst I’m tweaking the home into fine tune.  In  my spare time I enjoy watching and playing football, swimming and cycling.
