My name is Denzy, i am a Registered Nurse trained in my home country of Cameroon. I moved to the UK in July 2022 and continued my nursing practice here at Newlands Care Centre. The staff were very welcoming and that eased my transition into work and life in this country. So far it has been a great experience with massive improvements in my clinical knowledge and skills, leading to my promotion as Clinical Lead of Newlands. I enjoy working with the staff to provide the best care and experience to our lovely residents.

During my spare time I love watching movies and spending time with friends.

I am a Registered Mental Health Nurse and I have been working at Newlands since 2019. Making a difference to our residents is fundamentally the biggest privilege within our role. I am passionate about providing the best practice palliative care, supporting both residents and family during the most difficult of times.

I am a Registered General Nurse and have had various roles in the NHS and community. I came to Newlands in 2020 and my passion is in wound dressings and helping people who suffer with mental health issues.

Hi, we are Lee and Walter and we are the Maintenance team here at Newlands. 

Lee joined the team in February 2017. In maintenance we get lots of opportunities to interact with residents whilst visiting their rooms to attend to various tasks.

We carry out a wide range of work in-house that all aids towards the care and safety of those we support. This is an extremely enjoyable role to have.

We would like to introduce members of the Housekeeping team here at Newlands who work hard to ensure that the homes environment is maintained to a high standard. They work hard to create a relaxed, personal atmosphere for residents, relatives and staff.
