This home is renowned for its ‘home from home’ ambience, including period features, such as wooden beams and the inglenook fireplace in the living room, which contribute to the home’s comfortable and welcoming atmosphere. Life at Bradbury House has a real community feel, offering an inviting dining area, where residents enjoy home-cooked meals and if they wish to do so they can help themselves to a drink at the bar.

I have worked in the care sector for 28 years, starting as a Night Care Assistant in a nursing home. I have worked as a Care Assistant, and then Senior Care Assistant in various residential, nursing and dementia homes. I joined Bradbury House 12 years ago and was a Senior Care Assistant for six years, also covering as Head Chef during this time. I then progressed to Deputy Home Manager for six years and at the end of July 2023, I became the Home Manager.
I oversee the day-to-day running of the home, ensuring that we meet all legislative and compliance requirements. I recruit and support my team members, as well as provide information and advice to support our residents and their families.
I enjoy my job because it is fun! I love talking and listening to our residents about their lives before coming to live at Bradbury House. I love bringing a fun element to their day by being a little crazy! I feel happy knowing that I make our residents feel safe and confident knowing that their best interests are my priority.
I love leading my team and encouraging their ideas, no matter how big or small, to improve and enhance our resident's stay at our home. I feel that I have a positive impact and that I motivate others and believe that my team enjoy coming to work at Bradbury House.
My biggest achievement must be achieving the role of Home Manager through hard work, training, and dedication. Personally, one of my proudest achievements was canyon walking. I was petrified, but excited at the same time and I was not going to give up!
My values might be a little cliché but are so true. I treat everyone as I would expect to be treated and if I feel I don’t have anything nice to say, then I don’t say anything! I believe care from the heart means being understanding, having empathy and compassion, as well as being reassuring.
I live in Braintree and have done most of my life. I have seen some changes, some for the better and I love the sense of community here. I enjoy the fact that I am able to see familiar faces when I am out and about.
Nikki SquirrellJob Title Home Administrator
It’s important to me that we offer a comfortable and homely setting that our residents are proud to call home and support them to be as active and sociable as they wish.
Laura Job Title Activities Coordinator
I was a carer before taking on the role of Activities Coordinator at Bradbury House in 2020. I absolutely love my job, ensuring that all the residents are smiling and building friendships. It feels like a family here, we’re all very close.

I have worked in catering for 20 years and joined Bradbury House in 2023. I enjoy working here and preparing meals for the residents, ensuring they are tailored to their dietary requirements. Bradbury House is a small home, which gives it a lovely, family-like atmosphere.
