Barchester Oxford Beaumont Care Community

Hello, I’m Paulina, the Senior General Manager of the Oxford Beaumont Care Community. Thank you for visiting our website!

My journey into health and social care, as well as my time at Oxford Beaumont, began quite unexpectedly. In 2014, while studying, I took a short-term role as a bank cashier to improve my English. What was originally meant to last only three months ended up being a life-changing experience. Through everyday conversations and connections with residents, I discovered how deeply rewarding it is to care for others, which completely changed my career path.

After completing my Master’s in Law in 2016, I chose to follow my heart and fully commit to health and social care. Throughout my career development, I progressed from Carer to Senior Carer, then became Administrator, and now I have the privilege of leading this exceptional home.

Alongside my dedicated team, we are unwavering in our commitment to providing our residents with the highest quality support and care every single day. I am deeply passionate about fostering a community where everyone receives outstanding support. We empower our residents to live fulfilling lives and celebrate each moment. My vision is to create a place where everyone feels safe, valued, and empowered to be themselves. Join us in experiencing the warmth and excellence of Oxford Beaumont. Read less

I studied physiology at Oxford from 1996 to 2002 and qualified as a nurse in 2004. Since 2012, I have worked in care homes as a nurse and as a care home coordinator during the pandemic. I choose to specialise in older adult nursing because of the breadth of nursing skills required and opportunities offered, and because I can really get to know and understand residents and their families over weeks, months and years, truly walking alongside them. I also worked as a lecturer in adult nursing at Oxford Brookes, overseeing care home placements for student nurses and am a member of the British Geriatrics Society.

In April 2025, I discovered and was delighted to join the amazing team at Oxford Beaumont and now work as Deputy General Manager and Palliative Care Champion. It is an honour to be a part of the dedicated team serving this diverse care community. Read less

I’m William, the Home Administrator at the Oxford Beaumont Care Community.

My journey with Barchester began in June 2023 when I joined as a Gardener and Maintenance Assistant, and I was proud to transition into the Admin team at the beginning of 2026.

I have had the great pleasure of growing into the role of Home Administrator. I attribute every bit of the success I achieve to the whole community. The residents, relatives, and colleagues I get to work with on a daily basis have empowered me to excel in every realm of care. When we achieved our Outstanding CQC rating in July 2026, I felt an earnest and sincere gratitude to all those who have supported me.

My passion for care comes from a deep belief in compassion, dignity, and respect throughout all chapters of someone’s life. I’ve always felt an innate pull towards caring for people and roles where I can make a meaningful difference. Working in front of house and around the home allows me to contribute to the wellbeing of our residents and relatives, while supporting our wonderful team that looks after them. The moments I get to brighten someone’s day are the times when I am happiest. Read less

Hello, I am Judith, and I am a Volunteer here at the Oxford Beaumont Care Community.

I am much enjoying being a volunteer at the Oxford Beaumont a couple of times a week, both chatting to the Residents and running a very elementary French class. I have lived on Boars Hill for many years now, with my late husband, who spent his last few months being very well looked after here, at the Oxford Beaumont. Before that, we had lived a very peripatetic life all over the world and it is a great pleasure to be able to meet the interesting staff and residents at Oxford Beaumont. Read less

I’m Jan, Resident Ambassador for the Oxford Beaumont Care Home.

I moved here in late April 2024, and the warm welcome extended to me by everyone here made my transition to a care environment very easy - I quickly felt included and valued.

My role is to be an ambassador for the incredible care that we receive at Oxford Beaumont and to be the voice of the residents about anything at all that comes up. I’m often to be found near the front door, so I'm easily available if anyone fancies a chat! Perhaps teaching for nearly 40 years has helped with confidence and a genuine enjoyment of being with many different people.

Our social contact with each other is a key part of staying well, happy and purposeful, and I much enjoy chatting, joining in the activities and contributing to the friendliness of mealtimes. We get to know each other well and care about each other, which makes it a special community to be part of.

I can wholeheartedly recommend the Oxford Beaumont to anyone considering a move into a care home, whether short or long stay – we are well looked after and it is a wonderful environment to be in.

We also have a lovely avenue of trees in the garden where we can enjoy being together outside, too, when the weather permits.

If any resident has any feedback or suggestions, or you just need a bit of support to make the most of life here, please do come and find me, and I’ll be very happy to help. Read less
