Hallmark Midford Manor

With over 14 years of experience in the health and social care sector, I’ve led strategic and operational efforts to deliver high-quality, person-centred care services. As a nurse by profession, I hold a Master’s degree in Leadership & Management from the Chartered Management Institute. My background in nursing, leadership, and management fuels my passion for fostering a culture of servant leadership at all levels.

I believe that servant leadership is the cornerstone of excellence, innovation, and sustainability in health and social care. By prioritising relational and emotional intelligence, I empower my team, colleagues, and clients to reach their full potential.

I’m proud to lead the amazing team at Midford and together, set the standards for exceptional resident experiences. Together, we serve people before self, ensuring compassionate care and positive outcomes.

I’m Soniya, I am the Deputy Manager of Midford Manor, also a registered Nurse and a Midwife. For the past 26 years, I have been in nursing which has given me experience and opportunities to practice an array of nursing skills in different hospitals and care homes. My passion of nursing has assisted me, not only to achieve the position I am in today, but also the expertise it takes to be a Nurse. in addition to nursing, I have been able to broaden my management skills and this has supported me to achieve the role of Deputy Manager for the past 4 years. I am eager to see Midford Manor's expansion into the Bath community and I am very excited to welcome residents, families, team members and professionals into our new luxury home. Looking forward to meeting you all.

I’m Kerry, Wellbeing co-ordinator. I have worked in the care sector for a decade before leaving to teach students Social Sciences. This included a variety of subjects where students learnt skills to work in the care sector, where the majority entered careers in health and social care.
Being passionate about what I do, I am thrilled to be appointed as the Wellbeing Co-Ordinator for Midford Manor. As a result, I will ensure that residents have an effective and relevant programme of activities to keep them as engaged or relaxed as they choose for a purposeful and meaningful life.
So, if a resident wants to learn something new, I will endeavour to make it happen. I want residents to live the most fulfilled and active lives possible, and I know our team will deliver the best care possible to support our residents in a wide variety of interests. I look forward to meeting you soon.

I have over 30 years of experience in the Hospitality Industry and for the last 20 years I have managed hotels in Hampshire, Kent, and Sussex ensuring that guests receive attentive, personal service recognising their individual likes and dislikes.
Having moved to the West Country and joining the Midford Manor Team, I am looking forward to working with our chefs, housekeepers and hosts to deliver that same high-quality service and levels of care to our residents, their families and friends throughout the home.

At a young age, I decided that I wanted to become a chef, so upon leaving school, I went straight to catering college, I then moved to work in hotels and restaurants in Surrey, following that, I decided to get some international experience so moved to Bermuda to work for a big hotel chain; Fairmont Hotels and Resorts. During my time in Bermuda, I worked in the fine dining restaurant within the hotel, which was awarded the 5 diamond award during my service. During my time in Bermuda, I won the Chef of the year award, a competition that chefs across the whole island entered.
After my time at Fairmont Hotels, I was appointed the executive chef for his excellency the Governor of Bermuda, during this time I had the pleasure and honour of cooking for Their royal highnesses', Queen Elizabeth 2nd and The Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Phillip, plus other members of the royal family. After leaving Bermuda in 2016 to be closer to my family, I was drawn to move into catering within the care sector. I have found over the past 6 years that it's the most rewarding, enjoyable job I've ever had, I love creating dishes, cooking for the elderly, and interacting with the residents. For me, building a relationship with them is so important.

I am passionate about providing relationship-centred care to all residents.

I am the first point of contact for families and people who are looking for care for themselves or a loved one and help them find the right care solution for themselves and their families. I understand that the start of a care journey can seem extremely daunting and I am passionate about providing support throughout the process to enable families to make the right choice. Some of the best parts about my role are watching the residents settle into their new homes, make new friends and get the best quality of life and seeing the impact that has on families who get to witness their loved ones thriving in a beautiful environment.

I’m always on hand to support both the residents and their families and also our local community of Bath.
