Holywell Park

I started my career at Holywell over 10 years ago as a nurse. I loved it straight away and being the General Manager has always been my dream job.

We think of ourselves like a family at Holywell and treat our residents with kindness, respect, and dignity.

We are a lively bunch, and no day is the same. I believe in looking at the person, not the illness.

My door is always open to residents, relatives, and staff. I like to say hello to every resident every day and have a chat.

Good communication and daily updates with all departments are essential for effective teamwork.

I encourage professional and personal growth through training, supervision and being self-aware.

I have 2 grown-up daughters and family overseas so we love to travel.

I play Pickleball every week, enjoy coastal walks, and lots of socialising and enjoy life at home and work.

As a dedicated and proactive Deputy Manager, I bring a solid track record of driving team performance ensuring the highest standards of care. With a focus on business goals and service delivery, I support management in planning and implementing key initiatives identifying areas for improvement and fostering a positive, empathic and devoted work culture. I excel in motivating and guiding my team, promoting professional development and consistently achieving organisational values and vision.

When not at work I am the mother of 2 teenagers.

I have worked at Holywell Park for 20 years, I started as a housekeeper and I have worked my way up through housekeeping, kitchen assistant, care assistant and team leader, then finally settling as Head of the Care team which I have been doing for the past 4 years. I am extremely determined. I feel my confidence and knowledge have grown massively over the years. I’ve enjoyed every minute of learning about the different aspects of care, there is so much more to being a care assistant than exclusively meeting personal care needs. I love building a good rapport with all the residents and providing an excellent standard of care in a person-centred approach. I love to go that extra mile to see a smile on our resident's faces.

I have worked at Holywell Park for over 13 years.

I began as a care assistant, through to team leader and now Activities and Wellbeing Leader.

I’m a Mum of 3 wonderful boys who are my world, they love coming in to see the residents, I want them to grow up see a care home setting as an inclusive environment.

I have been revamping the range of activities at Holywell Park to accommodate some of our newer residents and introduce new opportunities.

We are finding out so much more about our residents and able to give proper holistic care.

With a greater understanding of their backgrounds, I am able to act as an advocate to improve their daily lives.

Holywell Park has always had a family feel and now we can get back to normality post covid, we cannot wait to extend our family further and invite you all along on our journey.

I started working at Holywell Park in December 2017 as a Part-time Administrator and was then offered the full-time position of Home Administrator in January 2019 due to staff changes.
I am responsible for the smooth running of the payroll and other financial issues and work closely with our staff, residents, and families. I also work alongside our accounts team.
It’s a challenging but enjoyable role as no two days are the same.
Before having my children, who are now teenagers I worked as a payroll officer for an international advertising agency. I then took a work from home job with a media agency while raising them.
As a family we spend some of our weekends watching my daughter show jumping as she has her own horse.

I have been working for Holywell for 9 years and I have been Head of Housekeeping since 2017.

During this time I have worked hard at creating a dedicated, hardworking and solid team of housekeepers.

I enjoy coming to work and making a difference. As a team, we work hard daily in making Holywell a friendly, lovely and clean homely environment for our residents.

My name is Derrick, I have been working at Holywell Park as the Kitchen Manager and Chef for the last 16 years.

I run the meal service and manage several kitchen staff ensuring legislation and paperwork is up to date.

I enjoy cooking and trialling new menus to suit a variety of diets and needs.

Outside of work, I enjoy fixing things at home and gardening.
