Meet the Edgbaston Beaumont Care Home Team

I have worked as a Nurse for over 12 years. I previously worked at Manor and Good Hope Hospital. I joined Barchester as a Registered General Nurse in June 2021 and have recently been promoted to Deputy Manager. I am proud of my achievements and am very much passionate about working in the Beaumont.

Hi, I’m Stephen, a registered nurse. I worked as a Children’s Nurse for 3 years in Nigeria before deciding on a change into Adult Care. I moved to Birmingham from Swansea where I lived for 1 year. I love playing video games (a huge part of the Call of Duty franchise), I love listening to music and I do enjoy nature walks.

Ethel worked for Exemplar  for 5 years and then as a Nurse at The Firs Nursing Home.  Ethel joined Barchester in 2022 as The Firs closed down.  Ethel said she really enjoys working for Edgbaston and loves interacting with the residents and joining in the activities.  Ethel has been a qualified Nurse for 10 years.

I rejoined Barchester in March 2023, having previously worked here 1998-2006 in the same position.   When I heard of the opportunity to come back to Barchester I jumped at it, as I did really enjoy my time here with the residents and staff.   I enjoy supporting the General Manager to keep the day-to-day administration of the home running. 

I have worked in administration my entire career, including starting at Cadbury’s on a youth training scheme and working for a brain injury charity for 15 years.  In my spare time I love to spend time with my family, play netball a few times a week, and football when my body allows!! 

I work as the Activity Lead at Edgbaston Beaumont care home and I very much enjoy my job, especially helping Residents and their loved ones, as well as working in a team. When I am not at work, I love playing music, and wild swimming. I play violin, guitar, piano and sing, plus a few other bits and pieces.

I believe that music vastly improves wellbeing for all; and, as Ladysmith Black Mambazo sing, ‘Music transcends all divides’. Wild swimming is my favourite thing to do. No matter what you are going through in mind, body or soul, it resets you. When I am in a lake or a river, it is both shocking and soothing. I highly recommend that you (safely) give it a go.

I am so pleased to be Head Chef at Edgbaston Beaumont.  I have been a chef since I was 16, I trained at Birmingham University.  I worked my way up from commis chef, I took a career break for childcare and returned as chef at another care home locally.  I am trained on dementia needs & specialist diets. I take seriously supporting each and every resident to be presented with quality cooking and love to hear that they enjoy their meal times. I enjoy the family feel within our team here and the respect the staff show residents and each other. 

Nitra has worked caring for individuals for over 3 years on a one-to-one basis.  Nitra says “I love being able to care for people and thoroughly enjoy my role here at Edgbaston”

I enjoy cooking and creating beautiful meals for our residents. It is wonderful to hear their feedback on enjoying their meals. 

I enjoy getting to know all of our residents and hearing their stories.  We are proud of our home and I love to make sure it is brilliantly clean for all the residents and my colleagues. 

I am so happy to be part of the team looking after our residents here at Edgbaston Beaumont.  Our residents are special and have some amazing tales to tell. I pride myself on making their lives as happy as I can each day. 

Hi, my name is ‘Coco’ and I am Edgbaston’s pet therapy dog and love to visit the home to meet the residents, they give plenty of cuddles!  My owner is Sarah, General Manager of the home and I pop into see everyone often and look forward to meeting you.
