Barchester Pittsmead Grange Care Home

Hello, I'm Rose and I am the Operations Manager, South East & General Manager at Pittsmead Grange. The wonderful team and I look forward to welcoming you into our home.

My name is Aimee, and I am the Deputy Manager at Pittsmead Grange.

I have worked in social care for over 23 years and joined Barchester in 2019 as a Senior Care Assistant. During this time, I developed a wide range of skills and experience, which has enabled me to progress to the role of Care Practitioner, working closely alongside Registered Nurses to deliver high-quality care and support to residents.

Keen to broaden my knowledge and gain experience in different areas of the business, I later joined the administration team. I progressed from Administrative Assistant to Administrator, developing a strong understanding of the operational side of care home management.

Throughout my career, I have remained passionate about providing excellent care and building meaningful relationships with residents and their families. This passion led me to return to a care-focused leadership role, and I am proud to support our team in delivering person-centred care and creating a warm, welcoming environment for everyone at Pittsmead.

As Deputy Manager, I am committed to ensuring the highest standards of care, supporting staff development, and helping residents enjoy the best possible quality of life.

Hello, I'm Anna Lamine, but I prefer to go by Ania.

I have worked in the care sector for over 17 years. I started my journey as a Senior Support Worker before transitioning into care administration, a role I have loved doing for the last 14 years.

I am incredibly excited to work in this beautiful environment alongside such an amazing team.

Hi, My name is Andrew and I am the Head Chef here at Pittsmead Grange. I have worked in the care sector for over 30 years and I am very excited to have now joined one of the most highly respected care providers in the UK.

I do my very best to make every mealtime a home-from-home experience using only fresh ingredients to provide nutritious and tasty meals. Most importantly, sitting and chatting over a cuppa with our residents is undoubtedly the best way to get to know their favourite foods or the things they may well be missing. And my kitchen team will then try to incorporate them into our menus to make the residents feel more at home.
