Meet the Field House Care Home Team

From carers and chefs to 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:

Paula Wiggan

General Manager

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. 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 pursue my career. I started as a care assistant and gradually worked 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. It is an honour and privilege to be the General Manager at this home and to build relationships with residents and their families. 

I truly believe that Field House is the best care setting and has the best care team in Shropshire. Together we are creating a home for every resident where they can pursue their hobbies, stay safe and enjoy new experiences.

Lel Leigh

Hi, my name is Lel, and I am the Administrator here at Field House. My team and I coordinate and facilitate all administration within the home for residents and staff. My role includes supporting residents and their families with any financial matters that arise, whether they need help setting up a new Sky subscription or ordering a special present for a favourite grandchild.

Caroline Davis

Activities Coordinator

Hi, I'm Caroline and I joined Field House in 2021 from another Barchester home. I have worked in care for the last 30 years and a big part of that has been with Barchester.

Here at Field House, I organise a variety of activities and social events within the home and in the community, such as gardening club arts and crafts, weekly exercise sessions along with live singers and musicians every month. We are also keen on regular outings to local landmarks, museums, cafes and shopping centres. 

In my job, I'm able to develop excellent relationships with residents and their families providing the support they need. I am very passionate about my job role as it is very important to us as a team that every individual is able to live the life they wish and feel fulfilled in their everyday activities maintaining past hobbies and finding new ones.

Head Chef

Paula George

Head Chef

Hi, my name is Paula, and I am proud to be the Head Chef at Field House. I am responsible for providing a top class dining experience and ensuring that the menus reflect the high standards that every resident should enjoy. I am constantly speaking with residents to find out what foods they prefer, the way they like things presented and how I can make every meal a great experience. 

Working with the care staff to ensure each resident's unique dietary requirements are met, is just one of the ways that my kitchen team support the health and well-being of our residents. I spend time with each new resident to ensure that my team and I are aware of their preferences and favourites when they first move in to Field House.
