I have worked in Administration for more than 20 years and gained my degree in support services at Northumbria University.

I am a keen gardener, who also enjoys listening to a variety of music ranging from Elvis Presley to the Sex Pistols. I love clothes, shoes and fashion, and enjoy watching horror films.

My favourite destination is Tenerife, where I enjoy family holidays.

Julie started at Meadow Park in 2003 as a Care Assistant and immediately impressed her colleagues with her person-centered approach and dedication to her job role.

Julie has shown some exceptional devotion to all residents at Meadow Park; she goes that extra mile to ensure that activities in the home are fun and even spends her own free time taking residents on trips in the minibus. Always happy to offer assistance, whether it's help with personal care or serving meals, Julie is a very enthusiastic person who constantly inspires others with her outstanding work ethic.

I have worked at Meadow Park since it opened in 1998. Having started as a Kitchen Assistant, I gained my chef’s qualifications in college and was promoted to Head Chef in 2001.

Meadow Park is a lovely place to work and I really enjoy making sure the residents are enjoying their meals and that their nutritional needs are met.

When I’m not at work, I love to spend time with my family, especially my four grandsons, who are always fun to look after.

I have worked for Barchester for over 15 years. Starting at the age of 16 as a domestic and working my way up the ladder to become a carer here within the home.
