Nichola Shepherd
Senior General Manager
Hi, my name is Nichola and I am the General Manager here at Vecta House. Welcome to our website!
Before joining Barchester, I was General Manager of The Briars in Sandown, which was a specialised dementia care home. I managed 3 other care homes before joining Vecta House.
I started my career in the care sector as an apprentice many years ago in 1989 and fell in love with helping people. I am passionate about delivering excellent dementia care and working closely with my staff to develop an outstanding team.
I was nominated by my previous staff team and healthcare professionals for 'Isle of Wight Manager of the Year', which I also won.
I am very proud to have managed to make a difference to peoples' lives.

Charlotte Tomlinson
Deputy Manager & Clinical Lead
Hi I’m Charlotte, I am the Deputy Manager and Clinical Lead for Vecta House. I am so happy to be working with a rated good team who really deserve outstanding in every way!
My aspirations are to maintain a very high level of well-led safe care to our residents that follow all our regulatory guidelines to the T.
I am always seeking to improve the service we provide and look at why we work the way we do.
I began my care journey over ten years ago as a healthcare assistant and have always wanted to advocate and do more for people. This led me to complete my registered nurse training for which I achieved an honours. I love the feeling I get when we receive positive feedback, it helps me realise why we do what we do and the true benefit of helping people in a person centred way.

Hi, my name is Robert Everson.
I started working at Vecta House in 2019 as part of the housekeeping and in 2022, I moved on to be part of Vecta’s care team.
I am also a dementia champion for the home. I have made my ways up to the head of maintenance and looking forward to having the responsibility of general maintenance and decorating.

Daisy Perry
Administrator
Hello I’m Daisy, Vecta House’s Administrator, responsible for ensuring office and day to day at runs smoothly within the home. I am responsible for Finance and HR. My door is always open for all enquiries and questions.
I have always worked within the field of admin but studied Child Care and Development for 6 years prior to my admin career. My organised personality made me decide that admin has my heart.
I started my journey at Vecta House in August 2023 being completely fresh to Barchester, with the help, guidance and support of my fellow employees I have found my forever role. I’m so fortunate to have fallen into this role and look forward to what the future brings

Christopher Selway
Head Chef
Hello, my name is Chris, and I have been working at Vecta since June 2018.
Before joining Vecta, I spent 10 years as the Head Chef at another care home, working closely with people living with dementia.
It is an age-old saying that ‘home is where the heart is’, and to me the heart of all homes should be the kitchen. The pattern of our life revolves around food and drink; it sustains, nurtures and brings us together as family, and friends. It marks times of celebration and significant events, reminding us of what is important in our life.
I enjoy spending time with residents, learning about their individual likes, dislikes and needs. This is their home and I try to create menus that respect this and involve them in this process as much as possible by recreating meals that they have come to love and food that they cherish.
Quality ingredients and presentation is essential; if something is to have value it should look good and reflect the care that has gone into its making.

Lyn Jennings
Head of Housekeeping
I started at Vecta House in 2021. Before coming here, I worked in a hotel as a chambermaid then went into retail where I progressed to Team Manager.
All of the housekeeping and laundry team work well together and strive to keep the home clean and welcoming and homely for our residents and take a great pride in our work. My hobbies include reading, kayaking and gardening.
