Paula Wiggan
Hi, my name is Paula, and I am the General Manager here at Field House. Welcome to our website!
I started working in the care sector when I was 20 years old after assisting my grandmother when she was ill, with the need for oxygen therapy.
When I lost my grandmother, I decided that I had lots to offer to the care sector, and that this is where I wanted to build my career. I started off as a care assistant and gradually worked my way up to a senior care assistant following the completion of my NVQ level 2.
Following a break to start my family, I decided to pursue the career that I loved so much, gradually working my way up the ladder to Deputy Manager at a sister care home within Barchester.
In January 2021, I was offered a wonderful opportunity to become the General Manager at Field House and I was honoured and privileged to begin my journey as a General Manager at this home and build relationships with residents loved ones alike.
Outside work, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends and I am currently studying to complete an NVQ level 5 in Management & Leadership.
