Deer Park Care Home

Hello, my name is Kevin Peck, and I am the Home Manager here at Deer Park.

I am an ex-soldier who served in the Royal Artillery, and I have received my Level 4 Registered Managers award and Level 5 Leadership and Management QCF.

With over 25 years of experience working in the care sector and an additional 20 working as a qualified nurse, I have managed seven separate care homes including a 95-bed dementia village. All my hard work has contributed to my extensive experience in all aspects of care management.

Being married to my wonderful wife who also works in the care industry allows me to have a good understanding of the challenges of working in care. I also have three children, two sons both in their late 20s and a younger daughter who is six years old - she likes to keep me on my toes!

Outside of work, I enjoy playing football with my five-a-side team, and I am a qualified referee at the county level. I referee both ladies and men’s football in the Gloucestershire area.

Hello, my name is Vivienne Hill, and I am the Client Services Manager here at Deer Park Care Home.

As Client Services Manager, I provide support, guidance and compassion to families and their loved ones during what can be a challenging time. I find my role incredibly rewarding and humbling, and I am blessed to work with an incredible team, who provide empathetic and dedicated care to our residents.

I enjoy the opportunity this role has given me to apply the skills, knowledge and experience I have gained within hospitality, event management, sales and marketing throughout a career spanning over 30 years. The role of Client Services Manager is truly diverse, with no two days being the same, and, above all, it enables me to make a difference in people’s lives every day. I am very much hands-on, driven, passionate and considered to be a real people person with a finely-tuned sense of humour.

Having volunteered throughout the pandemic, during which time I helped the elderly and vulnerable, working within the care sector seemed the obvious next step. I am passionate about supporting different charities, especially those in our local area, and members of our local community. It is especially fulfilling to be able to arrange community events as part of my role, and I am particularly proud of Deer Park PALS, our monthly Parkinson’s Support Group.

Here at Deer Park, our entire team works hard to ensure that our residents and their families and friends are provided with the highest possible quality of support and care whilst making sure every visitor receives a warm welcome. Whether you need urgent support or are planning for the future, please don’t hesitate to book a visit so you can experience for yourself the care we provide.

Hello, my name is Sarah Fleeting, and I am the Activities and Wellbeing Coordinator here at Deer Park.

I have worked at Deer Park for 16 months, and I find my role very rewarding as I know our team makes a positive difference in the lives of our residents every day. This is my first role in a care home, and I have been thoroughly enjoying it so far. Before joining the Deer Park team I worked mostly in hospitality, and I have NVQs in Hospitality and Customer Care.

Outside of work, I like to spend time with my husband, our daughter and our pomchi, Tally. I am also a Brownie leader and sometimes help out in my friend's pottery painting studio.

Hello, my name is Sarah Birkett, and I am the Home Administrator here at Deer Park.

This is my first role within a care home, and I have quickly learnt that within this setting every day is different! I am married with two grown-up children, and I spend my spare time with my beloved cats. A fun fact about me is that I love doing quizzes!
