Meet the Vecta House Care Home Team

Hi I’m Charlotte, I am the Deputy Manager and Clinical Lead for Vecta House. I am so happy to be working with a rated good team who really deserve outstanding in every way!

My aspirations are to maintain a very high level of well-led safe care to our residents that follow all our regulatory guidelines to the T.

I am always seeking to improve the service we provide and look at why we work the way we do.

I began my care journey over ten years ago as a healthcare assistant and have always wanted to advocate and do more for people. This led me to complete my registered nurse training for which I achieved an honours. I love the feeling I get when we receive positive feedback, it helps me realise why we do what we do and the true benefit of helping people in a person centred way.

Hello I’m Daisy, Vecta House’s Administrator, responsible for ensuring office and day to day at runs smoothly within the home. I am responsible for Finance and HR. My door is always open for all enquiries and questions.

I have always worked within the field of admin but studied Child Care and Development for 6 years prior to my admin career. My organised personality made me decide that admin has my heart.

I started my journey at Vecta House in August 2023 being completely fresh to Barchester, with the help, guidance and support of my fellow employees I have found my forever role. I’m so fortunate to have fallen into this role and look forward to what the future brings

Hello, My name is Tanya and I am the Lifestyle Leader here at Vecta House.

I started work at Vecta in June 2018 as part of the housekeeping team. I have worked as part of Activities Team for over a year and have grown very passionate in ensuring our residents have stimulating, life enriching activities available every day. I feel proud knowing I have brought smiles and laughter to our residents and love working with the great team we have here at Vecta House.

Hello, my name is Chris, and I have been working at Vecta since June 2018.

Before joining Vecta, I spent 10 years as the Head Chef at another care home, working closely with people living with dementia.

It is an age-old saying that ‘home is where the heart is’, and to me the heart of all homes should be the kitchen. The pattern of our life revolves around food and drink; it sustains, nurtures and brings us together as family, and friends. It marks times of celebration and significant events, reminding us of what is important in our life.

I enjoy spending time with residents, learning about their individual likes, dislikes and needs. This is their home and I try to create menus that respect this and involve them in this process as much as possible by recreating meals that they have come to love and food that they cherish.

Quality ingredients and presentation is essential; if something is to have value it should look good and reflect the care that has gone into its making.

Hi, my name is Robert Everson.

I started working at Vecta House in 2019 as part of the housekeeping and in 2022, I moved on to be part of Vecta’s care team.

I am also a dementia champion for the home. I have made my ways up to the head of maintenance and looking forward to having the responsibility of general maintenance and decorating.

I started at Vecta House in 2021. Before coming here, I worked in a hotel as a chambermaid then went into retail where I progressed to Team Manager.

All of the housekeeping and laundry team work well together and strive to keep the home clean and welcoming and homely for our residents and take a great pride in our work. My hobbies include reading, kayaking and gardening.

I’m part of the Admin Team working bank hours so you may occasionally see me out the front in reception.

Most of my working life has been office based, Secretarial and Managerial, although I did work for the London Ambulance Service for a number of years.  I moved to the Island from Epsom, Surrey.  I started working for Vecta in August 2019, finding the care sector my favourite place to work.

I look forward to greeting you as you come through our door.

Hello I’m Wendy, I’m the Receptionist/Administrative Assistant at Vecta House.

I have worked in education for much of my life but for the last 2 and a half years I have worked in health/care settings in various positions.

I really enjoy being front of house, meeting and greeting everyone, I look forward to welcoming you all into Vecta House.

I work Monday to Friday on reception but if you ever need anything over the weekend the amazing team will deal with any questions or queries.

Matt has worked at Vecta since January 2016. The outside space at Vecta is a very important part of his life. There are 6 gardens for residents to choose to spend time in.
