Barchester Highfield Care Home

Hi, my name is Luke and I am General Manager here at Highfield Care Home. Welcome to our website!

Thank you for taking the time to look further into what we have to offer to you or your loved one. Here is an opportunity to look at some of our staff team in the home, who all play a vital role in day-to-day life.

I started my career in the health sector straight from school as a Bank Care Assistant at a Barchester Home in Worksop, I completed my Health and Social Care studies at college during this time. I progressed my career into more senior roles with different providers gaining invaluable knowledge and experience. In 2016, I secured my first Home Manager position, and have successfully managed three different homes, improving their overall quality and performance.

In 2021 I became a Regional Director for a healthcare provider before returning to Barchester in October 2024 bringing a wealth of experience and knowledge to the role, I believe Barchester live by their own values and provides the best standard of care to all our customers.

I look forward to welcoming you to our Home.
