I have been working at Overslade House since 2004 and I have found our home to be extremely welcoming and a happy place to live and work in.
I first qualified as a nurse in 1996 along with my husband and practiced for 8 years in a hospital in Romania. I moved to the UK along with my family in 2004 and started my employment with Barchester Healthcare at Overslade House as a Senior Care Assistant. I then started my adaptation at Northampton University to allow me to qualify and practice as a nurse in the UK, this I completed in 2007 and I was promoted to RGN at Overslade. I then progressed to Head of Unit in 2011 shortly followed by promotion to Deputy Manager.
I have now taken up the position of General Manager at Overslade House and warmly embrace the opportunities this position will give me. At Overslade House we pride ourselves on our excellent care and skills that our staff possesses. It is my aim to maintain the happy, friendly and caring nature our home offers to our residents.
Genoveva has been a nurse for over 30 years and joined Overslade House as a Senior Carer in 2007 and was then duly promoted to Head of Unit. Genoveva took on the role of Deputy Manager in 2015, working closely alongside Violeta, and thoroughly embraces the opportunities and challenges this role has provided. Genoveva’s door is always open should you need any help or advice and she looks forward to many years at Overslade House.

I qualified in 1977 as a general and mental health nurse in South Africa. I then went on to working in an A & E department and a TB Clinic. After taking time away to raise a family I returned to nursing by training as a Community Health Nurse and worked as a Community Psychiatric Nurse for 5 years managing 5 clinics in the area. I moved to the UK in 2004 and started working immediately for Barchester Healthcare at Overslade House where I also qualified as an NVQ assessor. I love working with people and helping them. I like the atmosphere at Overslade House, it is such a happy place to work as we all work as a team and this reflects on our residents. I appreciate the fact that the Company supports its staff to deliver a high standard of care. Out of work I like all kinds of hand crafts, travelling and visiting my grand child in South Africa.

I qualified as a General Nurse in 2006 and then as a Psychiatric Nurse in 2009 in Nigeria. I worked in a Neuropsychiatric Hospital in Abeokuta, Nigeria before coming to the UK in 2012 when I then obtained a degree in nursing and healthcare. I completed an Overseas Nurses Programme in Adult Nursing and Mental Health Nursing and I am presently registered as a dual qualified nurse in the UK in 2013 and 2015 respectively. When I was choosing my career path, I decided on a career that I would gladly do for nothing. I have always loved to care for people and make a positive impact in their lives. I chose nursing because it is all about caring. Knowing I have made a positive impact on a residents life is what I love the most about my job, the smiles, the appreciation and the trust mean much more than anything else.
When I am away from work I spend my time with friends and family, exercise and planning the next milestone in my future.
