My name is Albert Joy and I joined Camberley Manor in October 2022 as Care Services Manager.

I am a Registered Nurse qualified from India in the year 2010. Since then I have worked for more than 8 years in both in-hospital and pre-hospital settings in India, Dubai and UK. I am mostly experienced in accidents and emergencies and my recent job was as a Deputy charge nurse at NHS UK where I further developed my clinical and leadership skills.

My aspiration to join the TLC group is to work with an organisation which aims to create an excellent workplace and team in order to deliver a high standard of service to the residents

I joined Camberley Manor Care Home in 2023. Previously I worked in the hospitality industry where I was responsible for managing high-end corporates, private events and weddings. I have 10 years of experience in curating events just the way my clients want it. I entered the care industry during a pandemic and since then I have never looked back. My experience in delivering domiciliary care and being based in a newly commissioned care home provided a wealth of experience and I feel very passionate about supporting families in their search for the right home.

I am delighted to be a part of Camberley Manor Care Home, an award-winning care home located in the affluent region of Surrey that provides person-centric dementia, residential and nursing care in a peaceful and warm environment.

I began my TLC journey in May 2021 as the Head Chef at Camberley Manor. I worked in the industry for the previous 10 years before joining and was drawn in by the Values of Truth, Love and Compassion.

My Passion has always been cooking and making people smile with food, I completed my studies in Hospitality management and professional cookery at college and started working at the age of 15 as a ‘tea lady’. I believe that the elderly should have an outstanding experience at every mealtime with the correct level of nutrition.

During the year 2022, I was recognised as the Great British Care Chef of the Year for the South region and came in 1st place for the South-East Region for the National Association of Care Catering, care chef of the Year competition, not to mention being placed in the final for the National Care Awards. I am so proud of these achievements and decided at this point in my Chef career that it was time to hang up my Jacket.

As I begin my journey now as the Hotel Service Manager I wish to achieve outstanding services across the whole home, ensuring that our residents are at the heart of everything we do.

Crystal joined Camberley Manor Care Home on June 10, 2024, as a Customer Service Supervisor, taking a lead on role modelling an outstanding customer experience across all areas of the business; delivering exceptional customer service and proactively addressing customer feedback with effecting communication and resolution.

What I enjoy most is the opportunity to make a positive impact on both residents and their families.
