Meet the Southerndown Care Home Team

I have worked at Barchester for over 2 years

My favourite thing about my job is that it involves interacting and communicating with people and also that my tasks are very diverse, so I can use my emotional intelligence and communication skills, problem solving and my analytical skills. It’s very rewarding when you get to meet amazing people and making a difference in their lives.

I’m a very social person and enjoy meeting my friends and family in my free time. In this fast-paced environment, meeting my loved ones gives me comfort and a sense of warmth. I also love to dance and have been dancing since I was in grade school. I know different dance forms and I’ve participated in countless dance events. My dancing helps me stay active while doing something I enjoy.

Hi, I am Subra, I am the Deputy General Manager here at Southerndown Care Home.

I have been working at Southerndown Care Home since July, 2021. I have completed B.Sc. Nursing and gained important experience from my time in a Surgical Intensive Care Unit.

My team and I are dedicated to providing the absolute best nursing care possible to each and every resident. Whether a resident needs full nursing care or simply a bit of extra support, all of us are on hand to ensure that everyone who lives here can continue to enjoy life. 

Here at Southerndown I am responsible for all the administration within the home, for residents, staff and families.

Relatives often pop in to see me and I enjoy listening to them learning more about the residents- which helps me develop a more special understanding of them personally.

It's never quiet here and there is always something happening and joining in with the fun is key to making the day go well for everyone.

I have worked at Southerndown since 2013. I enjoy providing various activities for our residents with the team, such as gardening groups, trips out in the mini bus around the Cotswolds, quiz days and entertainment performances. Amongst the many things we enjoy doing, part of my role within the home is to ensure all residents are provided the purpose in life to fulfil day to day stimulation, whether that be together, or creating individual activity to those that prefer.

One of the best parts of my job is meeting our residents and finding out what their likes and dislikes are - I truly enjoy preparing home-cooked favourites and it's very rewarding to see everyone enjoying chatting over a delicious meal and a glass of wine.

I love to work with the nursing and care teams to ensure that the food is not only tasty but also nutritious.

Having worked at Southerndown 20 years ago as a Senior Carer, I was very happy to return as Head Housekeeper.
