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.

I joined Edgbaston at the beginning of June 2024.   have been a nurse for 6 years, 4 of which were spent as a midwife.   It’s always nice to have a change, and I am pleased to bring my knowledge and experience to  adult care nursing at The Edgbaston Beaumont.  I’m looking forward to get to know the residents and provide excellent nursing care.

I was the activities lead at another home for 3 years and, prior to that, I lived in Serbia for 8 years, travelling in Europe as a DJ and performer at numerous festivals and shows. I also coordinated events ranging from funerals, birthdays, weddings and private bespoke tailored events throughout the years. I have a passion for people. I enjoy great films and achieved an MA in Global Film and Television. I have a daughter who is my absolute world and I love to travel. Some of my favourite places are Thailand, Barbados, Malaysia and, of course, Serbia. 

I enjoy seeing the smiles on the faces of residents and take it as my personal duty to make sure all residents here have a better quality of life regardless of their personal needs or care. Wellbeing lead, person-centred, tailored events and activities to engage those who truly need it, in my opinion, is the most rewarding and fulfilling aspect of my role. A smile at the end of the day speaks volumes and keeps me going until I see another smile on a resident's face.

Graham worked as a Design Director for the world famous Cadbury Ltd.  He has 2 children, 6 grandchildren and 13 great grandchildren who live all over the world.   Graham is our resident ambassador a role he takes very seriously to ensure the residents are included and happy.  He is a welcoming face to new residents.

Harman joined the Barchester family in January 2024 and brings a wealth of care experience.   She is a motivated and determined member of staff, and is our Dementia Champion for the home.

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. 

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.

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 started working as 2^nd chef in 2021, and I have now recently taken on the role of Head Chef.  I enjoy working with the residents when planning the menus, to ensure they receive a well-balanced and nutritious diet.

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 am delighted to have joined Edgbaston as 2^nd Chef, and I have over 30 years of experience.   With my knowledge I look forward to  getting to know the residents, and creating healthy and nutritious meals for them to enjoy.
