The Cambridgeshire Care Home

I am proud to say I commissioned The Cambridgeshire Care Home in 2016 and was the manager until 2019, having worked at First Care Homes since 2011. I returned in 2022.

I have worked in the social care sector as a registered manager in a home and regional capacity for over 25 years since leaving the NHS where I was a ward sister.

I am a Registered Nurse and have a Degree in Gerontological Nursing, the Registered Managers Award and also Level 5 in management and leadership.

I love this home and want the staff to feel the same, as this then impacts our resident's experience and helps them feel at home right from day one

I am an experienced Registered Nurse with over 14 years of experience in both private and public healthcare environments. I have a Bachelor’s in psychology and a Master’s degree in Palliative Care strategies and management.

Following my move to the UK in 2016 I achieved my NVQ level 5 certification. I found my true passion in caring for others, especially elderly Residents and Patients and I am very grateful to have found the perfect environment to practice this at The Cambridgeshire Care Home.

I ran my own business after leaving Sixth Form college, I made fixings for a variety of industries. In 2013 I joined The NHS Care in the Community Team and then moved on to working as a carer in a care home.

I joined The Cambridgeshire Care Home in 2017 and have completed my NVQ Health and Social Care level 3.

Gary is very modest and wouldn't necessarily tell you that he won an award at The National Care Awards for "Putting People First" - an award truly deserved because he really does put people first.

I am from Romania where I completed my Nurses Training in 2015. I moved to the UK and started working in care homes and have enjoyed providing high-quality care and compassion since then.

I enjoy supporting our Residents, as well as Staff, especially since taking on the role of Head of Care for Queens Household. I take great pride in leading by example and nurturing the team to continue to provide dignity, respect, kindness, and excellence in every aspect of care.

I truly enjoy my role, seeing what a difference I am making in people's lives. For me Nursing is not just a profession it's a calling that I am proud to answer every day.

I am from The Philippines and graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing in Manila. I came to the UK in 2002 and worked for the NHS for 13 years as a Critical Care Nurse / Manager.

I have always had a passion to care for elderly people so moved to working in care homes in 2020.

I completed my RMHN training at Fulbourn Hospital in 1989. I have worked in the NHS since 1986 and then in Private Health Care since 2016. I have worked in two care homes prior to coming to The Cambridgeshire Care Home.

Joining First Care Homes in October 2020 during the Covid-19 pandemic was my first insight into the world of care—and what an introduction it was. Working across both Parkview Care Home and The Cambridgeshire Care Home, I have the pleasure of supporting fantastic staff, getting to know our amazing residents and their stories, and building relationships with their loved ones. It’s a truly rewarding role.

I'm a Registered General Nurse by trade, qualifying in 1985 before moving in to the aviation industry and aviation medicine.

My background includes 32½ years with British Airways, where I delivered medical training, led newly introduced planned events, and worked as a Purser on long-haul flights.

I've also served as a cancer specialist educator for a cancer charity, and led change in the fire service’s Prevention team, working closely with the police on domestic violence and arson cases.

Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of working alongside people from many different backgrounds and parts of the world—an experience that continues to shape how I lead, teach, and connect with others every day.

I have a background in administration and customer service having been a buyer, salesperson, account manager, office manager and CEO in a variety of industries from Fire, Domiciliary Eyecare, Medical, Insurance and Charity. I started at The Cambridgeshire Care Home just as the COVID lockdown started.

I enjoy working with new Residents and Families to take them on a seamless journey into their new home. I am a very caring and passionate person and really enjoy working with older people.

I am a very creative person, with a background in Customer Service and Administration roles.

I started my journey in a care home setting after receiving my Level 4 in Events Management.

I love my role as Head of Wellbeing as it allows me to remain creative, working within care and being able to chat to Residents and Families. It helps me create new activities based on Residents' hobbies and interests.

I love being at The Cambridgeshire Care Home, this is my family and there's no place I would rather be.

I have been a Professional Head Chef for 35 years, I have owned my own restaurant and private catering company. I started as an apprentice chef at St John's College in Cambridge. I have worked in care since 2016, I am fully qualified to Advance level of C&G's diploma 706/1, 706/2 and 706/3.

I re-joined CCH in November 2021, after 2 years away.

I have many years of experience in the hospitality industry from Hotels, colleges and running our own pub/restaurant. I have worked both front of house and back of house, which I enjoy as a varied role. However, it is the care environment that I enjoy the most, and the feeling of giving back to our residents.
