Hi, my name is Irina, and I am a Head of Unit here at Kenwyn. I have been working at Kenwyn on and off since 2015, in the role of a Registered Nurse. In 2019, I took the full-time ‘Head of Unit’ position on the upstairs nursing units. I have had a varied nursing career, gaining experience in both the NHS and care home environments.

I have worked at Kenwyn Care Home for over 20 years. As a Senior Sister on the Glendurgan unit, I am in charge of a team who provide a high standard of specialist care to younger residents, including those with brain injuries and tracheostomy requirements.

Outside of work, I spend my time time caring for my husband and mother-in-law - and I enjoy seeing my Grandchildren. 

I have worked here since 1994, as a Care Assistant, although my background was admin. I transferred to admin 4 years later, as they were looking for a Receptionist, and I worked my way to Admin Assistant, and in February 2021, became the Administrator.

have gained a lot of knowledge about Kenwyn and the admin roles. Each day is never the same; variety is the spice of life and working together as a team.

My name is Joanne and I am the Head Chef here at Kenwyn Care Home, since 2019. I have been a chef for over 30 years and have worked in many top hotels and restaurants in my long and varied career, including working alongside the late Gary Rhodes. I moved into care catering 6 years ago and I find it very rewarding.

Getting to know the residents and being able to provide fresh, healthy and nutritious meals for them each and every day is a real pleasure.
