Hadleigh Nursing Home

I trained with Anglia Ruskin and then, once qualified, started as a ward nurse in the care of the elderly at Colchester General. I started my nursing career later in life and was originally working in London for Barclays Bank and NIG Skandia. I have been a nurse for over 14 years. My last role was as a Senior Specialist Urology Nurse, and I was in that role for 7 years. Before this, I worked for a community nursing team. Before this, I worked in school nursing, leading clinics for 5 to 18-year-olds I also worked as a Renal dialysis Nurse.

Becoming a Nurse was my greatest achievement, and I have since loved working with families and patients to help promote good quality care for all. I moved to Hadleigh 5 years ago and have been greatly impressed by the community and the wonderful surrounding areas. I enjoy spending time with my family and animals, who are important to me. I have been given a wonderful opportunity to work at Hadleigh Nursing Home with a wonderful team to help promote patient-centred care and enhance residents' lives and wellbeing. Read less

I qualified as a nurse in 2015, and most of my career to date has been in community nursing in Colchester and acute oncology and haematology, including a secondment to a general medical ward at Colchester General Hospital, all of which have provided me with a wide knowledge and experience base. In 2025, I completed a post-graduate qualification in District Nursing and Non-Medical Prescribing. Since joining Hadleigh Nursing Home, I have been welcomed by the caring staff and lovely residents, and am proud to be part of a team who cares deeply about enhancing the lives of the residents and providing high-quality care, whatever their role. I moved to Hadleigh in 2022 and live here with my husband Kieran and our two boys, Stanley and Louis.

In my spare time, I enjoy fitness, running and countryside walks, and spending quality time with my family. Read less

I worked in hotels for 18 years before I joined the team at Hadleigh Hall Nursing Home. I am passionate about making mealtimes special for our residents with great service and a friendly, relaxed atmosphere. My experience in events and wedding coordinating makes me adaptable with a keen eye for the smaller details. I take great pride in exceeding both resident and relative expectations wherever possible. With a strong person-centred approach, Hadleigh Hall Nursing Home feels just like a family, and I am proud to be part of a team delivering a first-class experience for our residents. I am lucky to reside in the wonderful area of Hadleigh and, outside of work, my family and I love exploring the countryside and all that our new “UK” home has to offer, having arrived from South Africa last April. Read less

I have worked in the healthcare sector for 22 years, 17 years as an Administrator. I started as a Night Care assistant, then as a Housekeeper. I enjoy my job and love working within the Healthcare sector. The job is varied with every day bringing a new challenge. I love the daily interactions with the residents and their families. In my spare time I like to spend time with my family, especially my grandson’s Charlie and Kingsley, and travelling to our holiday home in Spain. Read less

As the wife of a serving soldier of 24 years, now a veteran, we moved into Hadleigh in 2002. My first job in Hadleigh was as an activity coordinator in a care home in 2003. After a year, I changed my job role to that of a teaching assistant/pastoral care in a local school, supporting charity work within the community and welfare within the Army community for 10 years. I spent one year as a member of the Town Council. In 2014, I joined the Hadleigh Dementia Action Alliance for 6 years and worked at a local residential care home for 5 years as a carer and the activity coordinator, before moving to Hadleigh Nursing Home in 2019 as the Lifestyle Coordinator and a Senior Carer role. Read less
