Meet the Newington Court Care Home team

I trained and qualified at Canterbury Christchurch University in 2011. I worked for the NHS as a Critical Care Nurse on a Surgical High Dependency Unit and also Intensive Care. 

I changed roles and worked with the community district nurses for four years until I joined Newington Court in April 2019. I took on my new role as Unit Nurse Manager in June 2020 and was promoted to Deputy Manager in April 2021.

I am passionate about ensuring our residents receive a high standard of care and, as a team, we always strive to achieve our best.

I joined the team at Newington Court in May 2016. My role is very varied and covers HR, payroll and accounts, in addition to supporting the General Manager and the rest of the management team. I have many years experience working in secretarial, HR and accounts roles and I am also a qualified NVQ Assessor in Business Administration. I enjoy interacting with residents and seeing them happy when joining in with the activities that are arranged for them.

I joined Newington Court in December 2016 as an Admin Assistant. For the past 14 years I have worked within the social care environment, which I found very rewarding.

I have over 30 years experience working in admin and accounts and hold an NVQ Level 3 in Business and Administration.

I enjoy being part of the team at Barchester's Newington Court and making a difference to the lives of those we support.

I joined Newington Court in September 2021. After working as a Carer in September 2022 I became the Lead Activities Co-coordinator. It is a pleasure to care for our residents and make sure that their needs are met to the highest standards. Every day is different but it is a very rewarding job and gives a great sense of satisfaction. I am looking forward to ensuring that our residents are getting an enriched lifestyle and by getting to know them on a one-to-one basis making sure that we cater to everyone’s needs and interests.

Tiffany joined Newington in 2021 as a Senior Nurse. She is a very experienced nurse and has now been promoted to Unit Nurse Manager on our Memory Lane unit.  As well as superb communication skills that have enabled her to develop a good rapport with residents, their families and staff, Tiffany possesses excellent observation skills and is knowledgeable and driven. 

My name is Catherine.  I joined Newington Court in June 2017 as the second chef.  I was promoted to Head Chef in October 2021. I have worked as a professional chef for many years and enjoy providing nutritious, flavoursome meals for our residents.  I speak to residents individually to find out their likes and dislikes, and they let me know if there are dishes they would like to see on our menus
