Meet the Tewkesbury Fields Care Home team

Hello, my name is Katie and I began my journey in care in 2007 as a care assistant, I quickly realised that this was where I was meant to be. I have a genuine love of getting to know people and taking care of their needs. I became a senior care assistant in 2009 where I gained my NVQ 2 in health and social care and NVQ 3 in health and social care. I then furthered my knowledge in Dementia Care and became a Dementia keyworker for the county. I gained my Team leader role and enjoyed working nights and days training staff and looking after the residents. I decided in January 2020 to Join Barchester Health Care and haven’t stopped since, I started as a team leader, then working my way to Unit Manager, I have really enjoyed seeing the different care homes and how hard everyone works to make a great team. In December I became Deputy Manager for Tewkesbury Fields, I feel very honoured to undertake this role and enjoy my future with in Barchester. 

Hello, my name is Katrina. Having previously worked in a children’s residential home, I became aware of what a privilege it is to work in a home environment. I have over 35 years administration and finance experience the culmination of my years of experience in care and administration makes Tewkesbury Fields Care Home the ideal work environment for me.

I was honoured to receive the national award for Home Administration Champion at the 2021 Barchester Care Awards. 

Hello, my name is Emma, I am the Home Services Advisor here at Tewkesbury Fields Care Home. My role as Home Services Advisor is to support residents and their families during the initial process of moving into Tewkesbury Fields. I graduated with a 1st Class honours degree in Event Management in 2017 from Cardiff Metropolitan University. After graduating I moved to Vietnam for 2 years to teach English. When I arrived home in 2020 I decided to pursue a career in the care industry and worked as a carer at Overslade House, soon after I moved into the role of Activities Co-ordinator which I was extremely passionate about and loved helping to enrich and enhance the lives of our residents. This year I began a new journey as Home Services Advisor at Tewkesbury Fields Care Home. This newly refurbished home is a stunning place to work and I look forward to working closely with the team to ensure that our residents are happy and comfortable here. 

Hello, my name is Jeremy and I joined Tewkesbury Fields Care Home in August 2019. I had a wonderful time in the home serving the ladies and gentlemen until May 2021 when the renovations began. I am delighted to be returning to the newly refurbished home and I am looking forward to assisting our new residents who have chosen Tewkesbury Fields to be their home.
