Meet the Emily Jackson House Care Home Team

From nurses and carers to chefs and housekeepers, staff in our home are here to deliver high quality care and services to those we support. Check below to meet some of the friendly faces you are likely to see when visiting our home:

Robert Dura-May

General Manager

Hi, my name is Robert, and I am the General Manager here at Emily Jackson House.

I joined Barchester Healthcare as I was looking to use my life skills to enhance both the life of residents and team members.  I liked the values and description of Barchester as a care provider.

I really enjoy the daily challenges, team recruitment and always pushing and exceeding performance where I can.  I also enjoy adding value, enhancing care and giving elder life purpose to enable residents to engage in a fulfilled life.

I am passionate about delivering the levels and standards of care that I would expect for my own parents, who are sadly no longer with us. If I had known about Barchester when my own parents required care, my family would have not experienced such pain and anxiety, this is why I chose Barchester to ensure that other families do not, where possible, have to endure what I have experienced in the past.

I have over 25 years’ experience in the NHS, Private and Public business and have worked in the care sector with children, young adults, adults with acquired brain injury and the last 10 years in Elderly Care.

I have recently studied with Open University to ensure decisions made at the home reflect best practice in providing a safe community.

Making a difference to people's lives throughout my career has been my biggest achievement. I strive to continually develop which ensures that the individuals I care for experience the very best care and life enrichment in later life.

Every day is an achievement, delivering and pushing the levels of care to exceed the expectations of Barchester and myself.

Claire Taylor

Operations Manager

I have worked in Complex Mental health and Complex Clinical Care for over 20 years this includes  including working and supporting Managers as a mentor within Healthcare.  I bring a wealth of experience and have a passion for outstanding dementia care, working in specialist and complex dementia service in the past.   This ensures  that the care given to your loved ones by my team and I  is the standard you would expect at what can be a very difficult time.  I have an open door for all and always have time for coffee and a chat. 

For me kind, personalised holistic care is the heart of everything my team and I should provide and getting to know you so we offer the best service and enabling you to live as independently as possible.  I want to be able to make a difference in your life and feel very privileged when chosen to be the person to do this.  I look forward to welcoming you to come into our care.
