Cumnor Hill House

I am a Registered Nurse and have over 30 years of experience in the Health and Social Care Sector. I began working in care homes in 1992 as a staff nurse and have since held various positions. During this time, I gained the Registered Managers Award qualification. I spent five years working as an Area Manager for a provider which ran five care homes in Oxfordshire. In 2006, I commissioned a new 64-bed dementia specialist home, something I achieved while at the same time successfully studying for a Diploma in dementia care.

My wealth of experience within the care industry, and passion for excellence, allow me to create an environment which promotes each individual’s well-being.

My role ranges from assisting with enquiries, communicating with relatives and the staff team, and ensuring the team is well informed and the home’s administration is effectively maintained whilst supporting all departments.

In my spare time, I enjoy a variety of activities such as lovely walks in the countryside, cooking, gardening, watching sports and spending quality time with my family and friends.

I started working at Cumnor Hill House in 2017 as a Care Assistant and worked my way up to trainee senior before being offered the role of Hospitality Manager. Having worked in hospitality for over 15 years in England and Spain, I have accumulated many skills that ensure we are delivering excellent customer service to our residents.

I am the Community Customer Relations Manager, here at Cumnor Hill House.

I aim to ensure that our residents continue to feel part of the wider community and are able to enjoy the activities, interests and relationships they held before living in the home, as well as having the opportunity to develop new ones.

I believe that bringing the local community into the home can bring real benefits to our residents, variety, and choice, and thoroughly enjoy working closely with the great team here at Cumnor Hill House.
