Sarah Billingsley

General Manager

Hi, my name is Sarah and I am the General Manager here at Edgbaston Beaumont. Welcome to our website!

I joined the Edgbaston team in October 2021.  I have worked in the care industry for all of my career, I am honoured and delighted to have been given the opportunity to become General Manager for Edgbaston Beaumont.  I am so passionate about ensuring quality care and lifestyle for our residents every day.  I am proud to have such a fantastic team on board to support me.

I have worked as a Nurse for over 12 years. I previously worked at Manor and Good Hope Hospital. I joined Barchester as a Registered General Nurse in June 2021 and have recently been promoted to Deputy Manager. I am proud of my achievements and am very much passionate about working in the Beaumont.

Ethel Karsey

Registered Nurse

Ethel worked for Exemplar  for 5 years and then as a Nurse at The Firs Nursing Home.  Ethel joined Barchester in 2022 as The Firs closed down.  Ethel said she really enjoys working for Edgbaston and loves interacting with the residents and joining in the activities.  Ethel has been a qualified Nurse for 10 years.

Tricia Samuels

Home Administrator

I rejoined Barchester in March 2023, having previously worked here 1998-2006 in the same position.   When I heard of the opportunity to come back to Barchester I jumped at it, as I did really enjoy my time here with the residents and staff.   I enjoy supporting the General Manager to keep the day-to-day administration of the home running. 

I have worked in administration my entire career, including starting at Cadbury’s on a youth training scheme and working for a brain injury charity for 15 years.  In my spare time I love to spend time with my family, play netball a few times a week, and football when my body allows!! 

Celia Palmer

Activity Coordinator

I’m Celia and I’m the Activity coordinator here at Edgbaston Beaumont.  I previously worked as an activity coordinator in a hostel and am enjoying the shift into the residential setting.  I have an arts background so enjoy painting and drawing in my spare time, which hopefully I can share my love for with the residents here.  I also enjoy reading, travel, live music and looking after my cats! And copious amounts of tea.
