I began my career in banking before pursuing a career in Health and Social Care when my children were young. During this time, I achieved an HNC Level 4 qualification and started my first role supporting individuals with direct payments to recruit and manage their own care packages, enabling them to live independently in their own homes.
In 2005, I began working with people with learning disabilities and have since progressed through a variety of roles within the sector. Along the way, I achieved both an NVQ Level 4 in Health and Social Care and an NVQ Level 5 in Leadership and Management, building extensive experience in supporting individuals, leading teams, and delivering high-quality care services.
I am passionate about developing and supporting teams to provide outstanding person-centred care and ensuring residents enjoy the very best experiences possible. I strongly believe in working in partnership with relatives, colleagues, and healthcare professionals to deliver a truly holistic approach to care.
Although I am relatively new to Sainthill, I hope to bring a broad range of knowledge, experience, and fresh perspectives to the team—always with a smile and a positive attitude.

I am the Managing Director and Group Builder for Vision Healthcare and have spent most of my life involved in the care sector, having grown up around family-owned care homes from an early age.
Together with my wife Holly, I own and lead Vision Healthcare, a family-run care provider focused on delivering outstanding, person-centred care within warm, homely and values-led environments.
I hold a BSc (Hons) in Computer Systems & Networks and began my career with Intel Corporation before moving into business development, technology and property ventures. I later joined Vision Healthcare, where I have helped lead the organisation through significant development, modernisation and growth.
A large part of my role focuses on supporting our teams, driving continuous improvement and ensuring we maintain a positive culture for both residents and staff. I have a particular interest in innovation within social care, leadership development and using technology to improve outcomes and quality of life for the people we support.
As Vision Healthcare continues to grow, I remain focused on building sustainable, high-quality services that deliver outstanding care while also creating wonderful places to work.

I have worked for Vision since 2009 and have worked in the care industry since the age of 16, giving me a wealth of knowledge and experience within health and social care. Over the years, I have developed a strong understanding of supporting individuals with a wide range of needs, and I am passionate about delivering high-quality, person-centred care.
In 2023, Barnaby and I bought Sainthill from Barnaby’s uncle following his retirement. Since becoming owners, we have been dedicated to creating a warm, welcoming, and homely environment where residents feel safe, valued, and comfortable. We strongly believe Sainthill should feel like a true home from home for the people who live here.
Alongside my role as Co-Owner and Director, I also oversee HR and recruitment, supporting the growth and development of our team to ensure we continue providing the best possible care and support. I am particularly passionate about empowering our staff, encouraging confidence and development within the workplace, and promoting internal progression opportunities wherever possible.
One of my favourite parts of my role is dropping into the home and spending time with our residents. Seeing them happy, comfortable, and enjoying life brings me so much joy and reminds me why I have always been so passionate about working in care. I take great pride in helping to build a compassionate, supportive environment for both residents and staff, while maintaining the family values that are so important to us at Sainthill.

I am a Registered Nurse with more than 30 years’ experience working within the care home sector. Throughout my career, I have held a variety of both clinical and operational roles within the private sector, giving me a broad understanding of the challenges and opportunities involved in delivering high-quality care.
I am passionate about ensuring that every individual receives compassionate, person-centred care and believe strongly in maintaining the highest standards across all areas of service delivery. Supporting teams to provide safe, effective, and dignified care is something I take great pride in.
Outside of work, I live in the countryside with my husband and two children, and I enjoy spending quality time with my family, creating lasting memories. I am also partial to relaxing in a good coffee shop and enjoying good company.

I have worked in the care sector for the past 22 years, gaining experience in a variety of roles ranging from Carer to On-Call Manager. During that time, I developed a strong understanding of the importance of teamwork, compassion, and creating a warm and supportive environment for residents.
More recently, I decided to take a step back from management responsibilities and move into housekeeping, where I continue to play an important role in helping the home feel clean, comfortable, and welcoming for everyone.
I am outgoing, bubbly, and always happy to lend a hand whenever needed. I enjoy being part of a supportive team and take pride in helping residents and colleagues alike.

I look after the company’s finances and have over 25 years of experience working in finance. I hold an AAT qualification and have developed extensive expertise in financial management, budgeting, and supporting organisations to operate effectively and sustainably.
My experience and attention to detail help support the smooth running and continued success of the organisation.

I have worked in the catering industry for many years, holding a variety of managerial roles and gaining extensive experience in food preparation, kitchen management, and delivering quality dining experiences. I am passionate about providing nutritious, enjoyable meals and creating menus that cater to a wide range of tastes and dietary needs.
Before moving into catering, I worked as a Land Surveyor and Site Engineer. These experiences have given me a practical and disciplined approach that continues to support me in my role today.
I take pride in creating delicious meals, maintaining high standards, and contributing to a positive dining experience for everyone I serve.

I have worked within the care sector for over 20 years and have built extensive experience across a variety of care roles, including Carer, Senior Carer, Medication Lead, Head of Care, and now Deputy Manager.
I have a strong background in both dementia care and palliative care, supporting individuals with a wide range of physical, emotional, and cognitive needs in a compassionate and person-centred way.
Throughout my career, I have focused on ensuring residents receive high-quality care that promotes dignity, comfort, independence, and wellbeing. I have extensive experience in medication management, care planning, safeguarding, and working closely with residents, families, GPs, and other healthcare professionals to ensure the best possible outcomes for those in my care.
I am passionate about creating a warm, safe, and supportive environment where residents feel valued, respected, and truly at home.

I am a Senior Night Carer with an NVQ Level 3 qualification and three years of experience in the care sector. Before moving into care, I spent 13 years as a qualified Geography teacher. While I thoroughly enjoyed teaching, I was looking for a new challenge and an opportunity to work with people on a more personal level.
I chose a career in care because I felt I had more to offer in helping people feel valued, appreciated, and genuinely cared for. Supporting residents and making a positive difference to their daily lives is incredibly rewarding and gives me a real sense of purpose.
I am naturally caring, compassionate, and approachable, with a positive outlook on life. I am always smiling and enjoy being around genuine people in a supportive and uplifting environment. Building meaningful relationships with residents and ensuring they feel respected, safe, and loved is at the heart of everything I do.

I am originally from the Philippines, where I graduated as a Teacher. After moving to the UK, I chose a career in care because looking after older people is something that is deeply valued within my culture, and I have always been passionate about supporting others.
I hold an NVQ Level 2 in Health and Social Care and a QCF Level 3 qualification, and I have worked in the care sector for over 20 years. Throughout my career, I have gained a wealth of experience and progressed into management roles, becoming part of the leadership team in my previous position.
I am hardworking, dedicated, reliable, caring, and empathetic, and I believe strongly in the importance of teamwork to provide the highest standards of care. I have also worked with people with learning disabilities, which is an area of care I particularly enjoy and find very rewarding.
I am passionate about making a positive difference to people's lives and take pride in ensuring those I support feel valued, respected, and cared for every day.
