Sheryl de Villiers
General Manager
I am a Registered Nurse with over 15 years of experience in the Health Care sector, and I currently serve as the General Manager at Emily Jackson House Care Home. My journey in healthcare has been shaped by a deep commitment to improving the lives of others, and I’ve had the privilege of working in a wide range of roles that have enriched both my clinical expertise and leadership skills.
Over the years, I’ve held positions including Lead Nurse, Deputy General Manager, Clinical Manager, Regional Support (Peri Deputy Manager), and Clinical Development Nurse. Each role has given me a broader perspective on care delivery, team development, and the importance of creating a supportive environment for both residents and staff. These experiences have helped me grow into a leader who values collaboration, compassion, and continuous improvement. At Emily Jackson House, my focus is on creating a home where residents feel truly safe, respected, and cared for. I believe that high-quality care is not just about clinical excellence—it’s about making people feel seen, heard, and valued. Whether it’s a warm greeting in the morning or ensuring every detail of their care plan is tailored to their needs, I’m passionate about making a meaningful difference in their daily lives.
Being part of Barchester Healthcare is a true honour. The organisation’s values—integrity, responsibility, passion, and empowerment—mirror my own. I’m proud to work alongside a team that shares a common goal: to deliver outstanding care and exceptional service to every resident, every day. We support one another, celebrate each other’s strengths, and continuously strive to raise the bar in everything we do.
I believe that a great care home is built on trust, teamwork, and heart. It’s a place where staff feel empowered, families feel reassured, and residents feel at home. I’m thrilled to be part of this journey and look forward to continuing to lead with purpose, compassion, and dedication. Together, we can make a lasting impact—one resident, one moment, one smile at a time.
