Hi, my name is Chloe, and I am the General Manager here at Rivermead. I started my career in care when I was 18, supporting people in the community. I qualified as an RMN from the University of York in 2014 and, since then, have worked in a variety of roles within mental health services.
I joined Barchester in May 2025 to explore social care and bring my skills and knowledge to contribute to the care of residents and support my colleagues in their roles.
I have a passion for reading and love spending time with my husband and 2 daughters.
Hi, my name is Becky, and I am the homes Administrator. My Job as the home administrator is to ensure all the finances are up to date and all records are kept up to date.
The role is varied, and there are many aspects to what we complete as a team, but no two days are the same, and there is rarely a quiet moment. I love the hustle and bustle and always have a smile for everyone.

As our Admin Assistant, she plays a key role in keeping the home running smoothly—welcoming visitors, supporting residents and families, and assisting the team with day-to-day administration. Her warm, approachable manner helps create a positive first impression and ensures everyone feels at ease. Charlotte was inspired to join Barchester after her dad lived in one of our sister homes, giving her a personal insight into the care and compassion we provide.
That experience motivated her to be part of a team that makes a real difference in people’s lives. In her spare time, Charlotte enjoys spending quality time with her husband and their two daughters, making the most of family life.
