Kim-Marie Newton

General Manager

Kim-Marie Newton

I have almost 20 years’ experience of working in health and social care.

I’ve worked for the Care Quality Commission, and as a Care Coordinator, home Support Officer and as a General Manager. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Health & Social Care and have a Level 5 Diploma in Leadership & Management. I am a dementia pioneer and a mentor in mental health.

Prior to joining Metchley Manor I was a regional support manager for a large care provider covering residential dementia, general nursing, palliative care and younger adults with enduring mental health.

I’m passionate about putting residents at the heart of everything we do here at Metchley Manor. For me, it’s all about person-centred care and ensuring every day is special for each person we care for.

I feel very privileged to be able to share my experience with such a great team and to lead the way in delivering an exceptional service to residents and their families.

Sian Bradley
Dementia Coordinator

I have worked here since 2017. I started working as a Concierge then progressed to the activities’ team six months later. I enjoy being part of the team here at Metchley Manor, creating a meaningful programme for residents to enjoy and events that residents can look forward to each week. I am fortunate enough to have been trained here in CRT, CST and reminiscence therapies, all making a huge impact on the lives of residents and their wellbeing. Encouraging family participation in all events and working with residents to create a programme that is both fun and person centred is key. Seeing residents thoroughly engaged, smiling and happy, trying something new, or re-using an old skill will always be the best part of my job.
 

Scott Tame
Head Chef

I used to work as Head Chef in a busy restaurant in the heart of the business district - I've also cooked for the Eurovision Song Contest and at the G8 Summit for world leaders.

Working at Metchley Manor, I try to mix classic dishes and resident favourites with modern cooking skills, always presenting the food to the highest standards. There's a stigma around care homes and care home food which just isn't true - myself and the team here are working hard to change perceptions with delicious freshly cooked top quality meals. I love seeing my team raise the bar of the dining experience.

Lorraine Smith
Head Housekeeper

I started working here in 2008. Since then I have progressed to Head of Housekeeping, which I love. Nothing is more rewarding than making a positive contribution to the daily lives of each and every one of the residents. I have a dedicated team of housekeepers and laundry assistants that provide excellent service, hard work and dedication in order to serve the residents and ensure that the community represents caring and compassionate care within a beautiful environment. Metchley Manor is a very caring community of which I am happy to be a part of.

Carers

Our hardworking teams always keep individuals and their families at the heart of the care they provide.

The nurses at Care UK are highly skilled and receive sector-leading training, which enables them to keep developing expertise in different clinical fields from dementia to palliative care.

Lifestyle

Home support roles

From catering to maintenance, housekeeping to administration, our home support teams play a crucial part in ensuring individuals enjoy an exceptional and safe service every day.

All our teams get to know each person they care for to ensure they provide a service that’s designed around their unique needs and tastes.
