Our team at
Blossomfield Grange

Since coming here in 2006 I have had the opportunity to work in a variety of roles starting as a Care Assistant and progressed to Deputy Manager. Whilst here I qualified as a nurse and I knew in my heart that this is where I belonged as I felt part of a family here at Blossomfield Grange. Working here gives me the opportunity to work alongside such caring and professional colleagues and such amazing residents. I am proud to be a part of such a prestigious organisation and I take pride in ensuring the residents receive quality care every day. Our mission to champion the quality of Life for all residents remains a central point in my heart.
 

My role within Blossomfield Grange is to help and support families who are looking into care and a new home for their loved ones. This can be an upsetting time for all involved and may be a whole world they may never have explored before, so it is absolutely essential that we listen and capture the needs and individuality of the new potential resident, whilst also offering the family reassurance and trust. The end result seeing their loved one move in, settle and be happy and the positive impact this has on the whole family is extremely rewarding. It's a real privilege to be a part of the team at Blossomfield Grange and getting to know all the wonderful residents.
 

I started work in another one of our communities, Metchley Manor, in various roles. In 2014 I moved here as Activities and Volunteers Cooordinator. I am a qualified florist with a love of gardening and flowers and have taken a keen interest in the beautiful gardens we enjoy here at Blossomfield Grange, starting a hugely popular gardening club. I thoroughly enjoy getting to know the residents, their individual likes and dislikes, as well as the interesting lives many of them have led.
 

I have worked in the healthcare sector since 2014, previously working for a different care home operator. I heard good things about Blossomfield Grange and Care UK so decided to make the move.

As Head Chef, I manage the entire dining experience for residents with my team. Having patience, being able to multi-task, be approachable, and having good communication skills is key.

My favourite part of my role is right at the end of service, knowing all the residents enjoyed their meals. It’s incredibly rewarding to create menus with their feedback that they love.

I’ve worked in office administration in different care homes for many years. I enjoy doing admin work in a care setting. There’s always a lot to do, so it’s important to have good time management skills, the ability to juggle different tasks, to remain calm under pressure, and to have a good attention to detail.

Empathy is important too when you’re supporting older people and their families. I love helping the residents and their families with any queries they have. It’s a pleasure to do whatever I can for them and it makes every day different.

I like to keep busy at work and in my free time, when you might find me going to the theatre, shopping or spending time with family.

I have worked here since 2014 as a Senior Care Assistant in the Reminiscence neighbourhood. I have recently taken the Reminiscence Coordinator role on permanently after completing maternity cover and will continue managing the care and the team to the best of my ability.
 

I used to be an Engineer but made the move to Blossomfield Grange to manage the maintenance of the care home because I liked the idea of working in an environment where I was helping residents.

I love meeting new residents and having a chat on a day-to-day basis, finding out about them and their lives before they joined the home. I enjoy meeting new residents and hearing their old stories of the past.

Outside of work, I love spending time with my daughter, playing football, golf and going to the gym.
