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. I am also a Mind Ambassador.

With over 25 years of experience working in the care sector and an additional 20 years 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 four children, three sons, two in their late 20s and my youngest a year old, and a daughter who is eight 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. Read less
