Barchester Cadbury Hall Care Home

Hi. My name is Audrene, and I am the General Manager here at Cadbury Hall.

My experience of working in healthcare and with the elderly began when I was 16 years old as a Kitchen Assistant in a care home. I grew up watching my mother be a nurse to many - healing, treating and supporting her patients with their health and well-being, and it is from here that my passion grew from childhood for the nursing profession.

I am a Registered Nurse, and I have worked in various roles including District Nursing, Deputy Manager, Regional Clinical Development Nurse and now I’m delighted to have been promoted to the General Manager of Cadbury Hall. I have various qualifications; however, the one I’ve recently completed is the Level 5 Diploma in Leadership and Management. This qualification has helped me to further understand myself as a leader and manager.

I have a caring and compassionate nature for elderly care, and I aim to maintain and promote good health and well-being for all Cadbury Hall residents. I look forward to bringing all the experiences and knowledge that I have gained over the years to support the residents in our care, with the main aim of providing a positive life experience. It is a passion of mine to serve this age group, and I look forward to managing and leading the brilliant team at Cadbury Hall.

Please feel free to pop in and have a chat; my door is always open. Hope to see you soon.

Hi, my name is Carmen, and my job role at Cadbury Hall Care Home is that of Acting Deputy Manager. I have been working in the care sector for 5 years.

I started as a care assistant in one of the sister homes in Wales, where I learned what it means to care for people who are vulnerable and to share a sense of empathy. I had the opportunity to grow my skills, expand my knowledge and build my career, being promoted to Senior Carer at Cadbury Hall in February of 2024, through learning opportunities such as different clinical, leadership and management training.

I left in May of 2025 due to personal reasons, but my mind remained thinking about Cadbury Hall, which brought me back in November of 2025, with new experiences and plenty of knowledge, which I am able to share with the team, now in a new position. Having also a very good understanding of regulatory bodies and procedures, I ensure the team is providing excellent and safe care, with the residents’ wishes and needs for a personalised care delivery.

I take pride and joy in my job, and I want to show you what a day of work includes as a Team Leader of a very caring and compassionate team. Do not hesitate to come in and chat with me if you have any questions. I will do my best to find the answer that you are looking for!

Hi, I'm Tracy, Head Housekeeper at Cadbury Hall.

I have over 10 years of housekeeping experience with the police before moving into the care sector.

I moved to Cadburyhall because I enjoy the satisfaction and the personal connection to the residents. No, two days are not the same, thanks to the wonderful residents I get to engage with day in and day out.

I hope to maintain high standards and grow my housekeeping team, with a view to keeping the resident at the heart of everything we do.

In my spare time, I love to get away in my caravan with my two beautiful dogs called, Bailey and Sky.

I Joined Cadbury Hall in October 2025

I live in Clevedon, I have two grown-up sons and a dog. I have travelled extensively and spent 6 years in Germany, working as a Technical Illustrator for Deutsche Airbus

Previously worked in domiciliary care and dementia care before moving to Activities

I started working with Barchester Healthcare in April 2023, where I started as an Administration Assistant at Crandon Springs, Wells. In December 2025, I made the decision to join the team at Cadbury Hall.

I enjoy my job role, as it gives me a chance to get to know the residents and their families, as well as allowing me to be able to progress further within my career pathway. Back in 2024, I decided I wanted to complete my Level 3 Business and Administration qualification, which I completed in July 2025. It's also nice to bring my Daughter in during the School Holidays. She enjoys getting to know the residents and staff as well, and she very often asks to visit everyone.

Whilst away from work, I love to spend time with Family, whilst also enjoying the occasional couple of nights away with Friends. In November, I can be found taking part in the yearly Somerset County Guy Fawkes Carnival Circuits. I used to Marshall and be involved with the preparations of Wells City Carnival until 2021, when I decided to step away from the Committee and offered to be ground crew for a friend's Walking Entry. In 2023, I made the decision that I wanted to perform, so I now get involved with dressing up and dancing around the circuits.

Hello, my name is Sarah, and I am one of the Senior Care Assistants at Cadbury Hall who works on days or nights.

I joined the Cadbury Hall team in 2025 as a bank Senior Carer; however, I requested to be a permanent staff member because the team and residents were so welcoming, and I thoroughly enjoyed working at the home.

My main aim is to ensure the residents are well cared for, ensuring I support them with their well-being, putting a smile on their faces and supporting on the clinical side, such as with medication management and support planning.

Hi, my name is Obaa Yaa, but everyone calls me OB.

I started working at Cadbury Hall in Sept, 25. My interest in care heightened when I had to be a carer and a daughter to my visually impaired father. The experience over the years taught me to be kind, gentle, affectionate and lend a helping hand where I can. The experience over the years has taught me to treat everyone like my own. For me, real joy comes when you know you have been able to put a smile on someone’s face.

Hello, everyone, my name is Agnieszka Sitko, and I am a Care Assistant at Cadbury Hall.

I am originally from Poland. I have been living in the United Kingdom for nearly 20 years. My career in care began 10 years ago after I moved from Essex to Bristol. I wanted a job that would allow me to balance my responsibilities with caring for my daughter, who had just started primary school, so a role in home care was ideal. Later, once my daughter had become more independent, I decided to look for work in a care home. For several years, I worked in Clevedon across various sectors—including residential, nursing, and dementia care—and in December 2025, I began a new chapter at Cadbury Hall in Yatton.

I never expected that my job as a Care Assistant would turn into a passion that brings me so much joy and fulfilment. Caring for those in need and witnessing their joy, gratitude, and happiness is my greatest reward. I want to continue on this path for a long time because I love what I do.

I look forward to welcoming new residents and families to our home.
