Hi, my name is Wiktor Szala. I am the Head Chef at Mill Court.

With two decades immersed in the culinary world, I bring a rich tapestry of experience to the kitchen at Barchester Mill Court. My culinary journey has taken me through the vibrant flavours of English, Italian, and Argentinian cuisines. For three years, I proudly served as Head Chef at Guildford's Yvonne Arnaud Theatre, crafting classic English dishes for discerning patrons. This was followed by another three years at Guildford's CAU Restaurant, where I honed my expertise in the art of Argentinian steakhouse cooking. My passion for Italian gastronomy then led me to London, where I spent two years as Head Chef at The Loft, an Italian restaurant nestled within Sky TV Headquarters. Most recently, my work as an Agency Chef in Surrey's care homes over the past three years has been incredibly rewarding. This experience has deepened my understanding of the importance of providing exceptional and nourishing meals. It is this insight and dedication that has drawn me to Barchester Mill Court, where I am eager to contribute my skills and passion to create the best possible catering experience for our residents.

My name is Bridie Watson and I have worked in the care industry for nearly 4 years, gaining vital knowledge and experience.

It is my aim to be a supportive contact for both individuals and families seeking care and to ensure that they have a positive experience with us every step of the way. I am glad to be part of such a wonderful community.

Hello, My name is Sarah and I am the Administrative Assistant here at Mill Court.

I have worked in primary education for over 18 years and have a lot of experience in providing care and ensuring the safety and well-being of many during my career.

I also have many years of experience in family working in the care industry, and most recently, the love and dedication provided to my father who suffered from dementia.

Ensuring the absolute best love and care is given to those in their next stages of life is something very close to my heart and a real passion of mine.

I feel so fortunate to be part of a great community and cannot wait to meet you and your loved ones and ensure that you have the very best experience on your journey with the amazing team we have at Barchester.

Hello, my name is Marius Sidoriuc and I am an Activities Assistant at Mill Court.

I joined the Barchester family in 2021, initially as a care assistant and soon after as an activities coordinator. Thanks to our fantastic residents, management team and colleagues, I felt I belonged to an amazing community here, in Barchester.

In September 2024 I relocated from Harton Grange (South Shields) to Mill Court, in Guildford, I worried about leaving behind an absolutely amazing management team, residents and colleagues.

I found here, at Mill Court, the same fantastic atmosphere and support from the management team, residents and colleagues.

I'm so grateful that I had the privilege to fundraising for our wonderful Barchesters Charitable Foundation and I finished the Great North Run half marathon in 2 hours and 9 minutes. Also, through a joint project with a charity in South Shields, we won a grant worth nearly £20k thanks to the National Lottery Funding.

I started my journey in healthcare in 2018. I love to support elderly people, especially those diagnosed with dementia, and to empower them to use all the facilities provided by our company. I completed a few courses on dementia and activities (NAPA, level 2) and I finished a level three apprenticeship in adult care. I have met some amazing people who guided my understanding of dementia.

I like to be part of a whole team, including the fantastic management, hospitality and maintenance departments, promoting a person-centred approach for each resident and I'm glad to know that each person's preferences and abilities are respected and promoted.

Hello, my name is Angelina, and I have been working within the Health and Social Care Settings for more than 15 years in different job roles.

I have been honoured to join as a Deputy Manager at Mill Court Residential Care Home, part of the Barchester Healthcare company.

My role is to support the Registered Manager, Jogie Dellota, on a day-to-day basis to run the service smoothly.

Therefore, together to lead, encourage and inspire our colleagues to achieve and maintain a high quality of care for vulnerable individuals with varying health needs.

My favourite aspect is getting to the end of the working day and being able to reflect on and evaluate my performance. For example, I believe it really matters how many people I have made smile to feel special, what I have achieved and what I could have done better.

I love working with people; I enjoy making their day brighter by doing something nice for them to show they really matter as individuals, at the heart of the service which is provided.

Mill Court is a homely, family environment where people who are cared for can relax, enjoy, listen to and feel valued.

I believe I can make a positive difference with the whole team to achieve excellent outcomes of the future company's goals in care to individuals in need.
