Barchester St Thomas Care Home

Hello, my name is Jenny, and I am the General Manager at St Thomas’. I joined the St Thomas team in September 2024 and have experience managing both nursing and residential care homes. My passion for caring for people living with dementia began around eight years ago. At St Thomas, I aim to create a safe and loving environment for those living with dementia while promoting choice and encouraging independence.

In 2020, I completed a Diploma in Management in Health and Social Care, and in 2023, I obtained a Bachelor’s Degree in Integrated Care. In 2025, I completed a Level 7 qualification in Senior Leadership.

I take pride in fostering a positive working culture and aim to inspire the St Thomas team to reach their full potential within Barchester through education, practical experience, and mentoring. At St Thomas, we have a highly skilled team of care, nursing, and ancillary staff.

As General Manager, I strive to empower the team to provide high-quality, person-centred care while ensuring our residents’ lives are fulfilled, regardless of physical limitations.

St Thomas has a fantastic activity team that ensures every day is different in our home, offering an extensive array of events and life enrichment opportunities. Our activities team is always looking for new and innovative ways to promote independence and enjoyment.

At St Thomas, we understand that having a loved one in a care home can be a challenging time. Therefore, we welcome families and friends into the home like family, and our staff are always on hand to support relatives through what we know can be a confusing experience.
