Churchfields

I began my journey as a carer then moved into the role as a senior and due to my passion and personality I then became the deputy. I am now Care Home Manager. I am dedicated to providing the best care possible.

Alex graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing in 2008 in the Philippines. After relocating to the UK, he began his journey in care at Churchfields as a Care Assistant. Through hard work and dedication, Alex progressed to Senior Carer, then Care Practitioner, and now proudly serves as the Clinical Deputy at Churchfields Care Home.

For Alex, this role is far more than just a job; it’s a deep responsibility he holds close to his heart. He finds caring for the elderly to be one of the most rewarding and meaningful experiences in the world.

Nikki has worked at Churchfields Care Home for the past six and a half years, initially as a Senior Carer, a role she thoroughly enjoyed due to her passion for delivering high-quality, person-centred care to each individual resident.

Earlier this year, Nikki transitioned into the Activities Team as the Activities Lead. She loves bringing joy to the residents through engaging activities and holistic therapies. As a qualified Reiki practitioner, Nikki offers alternative therapies such as Reiki and Indian head massage, helping to enhance residents’ overall well-being.

I originally started as a freelance painter & decorator but then came on board full time as the Maintenance Operative, where I work between Rosebank & Churchfields, spending a few days per week in each care home.

I started my working career many moons ago as an apprentice engineer, which was really interesting, especially working within the stunning university buildings in Oxford. After this, I used my new skills to work with the farming industries, helping to erect specialist farming buildings. I then moved on to own my own shop in Faringdon, selling antiques and collectables. I have also been in the painting & decorating business on and off since the 80’s.

I really enjoy the care industry, I will always make time to stop and have a chat to any residents about their day.

One of the most rewarding aspects of her role is being able to support the residents and spend meaningful time engaging with them.
