Meet the Tewkesbury Fields Care Home team

I joined the Tewkesbury Field Care Home team in June 2020 as Deputy Manager and Clinical Lead. Being South African born, I became a qualified nurse in 1998.  Moving to the UK in 2006, I have worked within the care industry for over 14 years. Initially as a midwife, moving into psychiatric nursing and end of life care. I’ve worked within other care home settings and welcome the opportunity to bring my wealth of knowledge to the team and residents here at Tewkesbury Fields. I believe we can all learn something new each day and should always strive for excellence in all we do; to keep improving and evolving. I am looking forward to getting to know our residents and supporting the Tewkesbury Fields team. This is such a beautiful home and great environment to work in, enabling us to deliver the best care and support to residents and their loved ones.
