Barchester Hilderstone Hall

Hello, I'm Charlotte, the Deputy Manager at Hilderstone Hall. I joined the home in early 2024, initially as a Bank Nurse before progressing into the post of Deputy Manager.

I had previously visited Hilderstone Hall when working for the NHS as a Community Nurse and Practice Nurse, and I was delighted to have the opportunity to work here. The home is stunning. I was drawn to the beautiful countryside setting, and the Residents and staff here are remarkable.

I am a Registered General Nurse and have additional qualifications alongside my nursing degree in disease management, specialising in diabetes and respiratory conditions. I am passionate about encouraging and promoting high standards for the delivery of person-centred holistic care.

Outside of work, I am kept busy with my family, my two pooches, and I am a lover of holidays - I always make sure the next one is in the planning!
