Barchester Cherry Blossom Manor

Hello & welcome to Cherry Blossom Manor. I have been a qualified Nurse for 25 years & always been interested in people & making a difference in their lives. Service to the elderly has always been close to my heart. I also like to develop people with a passion for service into leaders. Enjoy becoming more familiar with us here at Cherry Blossom.

I am a qualified Nurse which is a key part of my role as Deputy Manager here at Cherry Blossom. I began my journey here as a Head of Unit & was promoted shortly after to my current position. I like to help build a happy, competent and caring team which is a pleasure to be part of.

I strive to ensure that all care is delivered to a high standard. Most of all I want to make sure that all our Residents are safe, contented & happy. When I see Residents & Staff are happy & well that is when I am most satisfied in my work.

I initially joined as a newly qualified Nurse. I had a short break in service after several years where I went to Nurse in a hospital environment & then brought that experience back to Cherry Blossom & was promoted to my current role. I sincerely care for our Resident's best interests.

I came as a qualified Nurse & worked night shifts. I then moved onto day shifts & have been promoted to my current role. I am protective of our Resident's well-being & happiness.

I have worked for Barchester Healthcare for many years as a qualified Nurse where I have worked in a few different homes. My first home was Cherry Blossom where I have returned with a wider knowledge of Barchester & been promoted to my current position. Cherry Blossom Residents make this a second home for me.

I started at Cherry Blossom as a Senior Night Carer where I then qualified as a Nurse here in the UK & I have been promoted to my current position.

I am passionate about helping people & working well in a team.

Previous to Cherry I worked in a bank for many years & have also worked as a Carer part-time, so this role is perfect as it combines both of these. This really home from home with our endless extended family of Residents, their families/friends & our staff.

I have been coming to work with my Mum(Ali Mather, Home Administrator)since I was only 12 weeks old. Due to this, I love people, fuss & yummy snacks. I used to help deliver the newspapers to the Residents but now my legs aren't as good as they were I potter around to visit them in my own sweet time.

I started here as a Carer, then Activity Assistant & then Hostessing. I have now come back to the Activities Team as the Coordinator where I am excited for this opportunity & what I can bring to our lovely Residents. The knowledge of the other departments/roles & the home will definitely be helpful to me.

I started at Cherry Blossom as a Carer & was then promoted to Senior Carer & then to my current position. Having good knowledge of the Care role helps me in my current position as we all work together. I enjoy interacting & building a good rapport with all of our Residents as I work around all of the homes. It gives me satisfaction to maintain a high standard of cleanliness giving a safe environment for all.

I started with Barchester as a Kitchen Assistant/Hostess in another home whilst studying for a VRQ in Professional Cookery at college to qualify for Hospitality Management. I came to Cherry as my current position. Cooking & Baking is my passion & I like creating new & exciting dishes for our Residents.
