Barchester Bedewell Grange Care Home

Hi, my name is Gillian, and I am the General Manager here at the Bedewell Grange care home. Welcome to our website!

Thank you for taking the time to look further into what Bedewell Grange has to offer you or your loved one. Here is an opportunity to look at some of our staff team in the home, who all play a vital role in day-to-day life.

I have worked in the healthcare sector for over 20 years and bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to the home. My career has evolved from working in education, delivering and overseeing level 2, 3 and 5 Apprenticeships in Health and Social Care, to various quality and senior management roles within the care sector with regulatory, safeguarding and risk management responsibilities. I like to build strong working relations with the team and stakeholders involved to achieve the best outcomes for our residents. I am passionate about ensuring that all residents receive the highest standard of care and have the best possible experience. I aim to ensure that all the residents in my care receive the best and most person-centred care possible, and I am looking forward to managing and supporting Bedewell Grange go from strength to strength.

If you are looking to care for yourself or a loved one, please do get in touch, and I look forward to welcoming you to our home. You’re always welcome! Read less

My name is Denise, I am the Deputy Manager of Bedewell Grange care home. I joined Bedewell Grange in January 2022 and bring a wealth of experience to the role, having worked in health care for over 10 years. My passion is to help people, which is why I have developed my career within this sector.

I am thoroughly enjoying this chapter in my career with Barchester, and looking forward to continuing to support our lovely residents and staff in the home. Read less

Hi, my name is Miranda, and I am the home's administrator.

I have been working for Barchester since August 2021. I deal with all aspects of the administration of the home to ensure it runs smoothly, from invoicing, ordering, recruitment, setting up contracts, to manning reception; there's never a dull day!

I bring a wealth of administrative experience to the role, having worked in construction for 30 years, and I love this new role as every day is a school day.

It’s a privilege getting to know our residents, their backgrounds, humour and their life experiences. They have many a tale to tell, and I'm always happy to sit and listen to them over a cup of tea! Read less

Hello. I'm Tony. I am Bedewell Grange's Head of Maintenance.

I have been with Barchester since 2015 as the Head of Maintenance, and continue to enjoy every moment of it.

My background is in IT hardware, which is probably why I enjoy fixing electronic items. I also love the variety that this role brings, from changing a light bulb to re-decorating one of the lovely rooms here at the home.

It's always a please to chat with our residents as I make my daily rounds. Read less

My Name is Donna. I am the activities co-ordinator at Bedewell Grange.

I joined Bedewell Grange in April 2022 and I bring lots of new exciting ideas to the role, having worked in the health and social care sector for the last 15 years. I am passionate about my role within the home and aim to bring a smile to all our residents faces through different types of activities.

I'm bright and bubbly, so aim to share this each day at work. I have experience in supporting our residents who are more able as well as doing sensory Namaste sessions with our residents who are less able.

As I get to know the residents likes and dislikes, if you would like to come and chat with me about your family member please pop in and see me. Read less

Hello. My name is Jade, and I am the Lead Senior Care Assistant.

I started working in care over 15 years ago after completing my level 3 national diploma in health and social care. I worked in nursing care for over 11 years, with the last 6 years being in a more senior role. I came to Bedewell in January 2022 and love it here. Every day is different. I love the challenges and making a difference to residents’ day-to-day life.

The management and staff here work really well together, making it a brilliant home to work in. I am now privileged to be part of the management team, where we strive to make sure that each resident feels at home and that each family knows their loved one is being looked after by truly caring professionals. Read less

Hi! I'm Cheryl, and I am one of the care Assistants.

I have worked in care for over 30 years and love being able to make a difference to all the people in my care. I obtained my level 3 NVQ in 2009.

I love being a carer as it is a very busy role and there is always something to do. Every day is different, and you are always learning new skills.

I have been at Bedewell since 2016 and love the homely atmosphere. Staff all work together to make Bedewell a true home for all of our residents, and I am proud of the high quality of care that we provide. Read less

Hi, my name is Frederick, and I am a Senior Carer here at Bedewell Grange. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering and an MBA in Business Administration, with over 11 years of professional experience in one of Nigeria's leading banks.

While my background may seem unconventional, I discovered a deep-seated passion for caregiving while tending to my ageing mother before her dear passing in 2021.

Relocating to the UK, I sought to channel this passion and embarked on a career in healthcare. I joined the Bedewell team in 2022 as a Carer and quickly progressed to the role of Senior Carer, thanks to the incredible support I received from the management.

I absolutely love my job and cherish the supportive environment fostered by the Bedewell team. I feel incredibly privileged to share the home of our lovely residents and will continue to do my best to contribute to their well-being.

I have diligently completed all necessary training and am eager to continue expanding my knowledge and contribute meaningfully to the healthcare sector. I look forward to meeting you or your loved ones at Bedewell. Thank you. Read less
