Meet the Westvale House Care Home Team

Hello, I'm Vicky the Deputy Manager here at Westvale House. 

I am a Registered General Nurse and lead the team at the home to ensure the highest quality of care for all our Residents.  I am also massively passionate about ensuring we provide support for our families, because having a loved one in care is very emotional and the highest level of trust must be built.

I encourage our staff team to create a family culture and empower them to develop and grow as individuals. 

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends.

Hi, I'm Clement and I'm a Nurse here at Westvale House. I started here as a Care Home Assistant Practitioner in September 2022, and have since qualified and worked my way up to Nurse.

My role is to ensure all of our residents feel safe, secure and loved and that their families feel content in the knowledge their loved ones are being well cared for. As a team, we ensure we maintain a professional, relaxed and friendly environment, and we work hard to promote a homely atmosphere. I love working at Westvale House.

Hello, my name is Maria and I've been a Nurse here at Westvale House since 2016.

Being a nurse is a profession that never stops giving and everyday is different. Since I've been here for a number of years, I know the residents well and am able to care for them like they are family. I am proud to be a member of the Nurse team at Westvale House - please visit us at our events and to take a tour of our wonderful home.

Hi, I'm Emma and I am a Nurse at Westvale House.

I qualified as a Nurse in 2022 and having worked as a carer for many years it was a natural progression for me and I love it. The best part of the job is the people, the Residents and families you meet.

There is always something going on at Westvale House - which suits me down to ground. It matches my life outside of work, where I enjoy paddle boarding and kayaking with my Husband and then what better way to end a day on the water than with a BBQ and a glass of fizz!

Hi, I'm Katie and I am a Nurse at Westvale House.  

I joined Westvale House in May 24 and I am a Registered General Nurse. I lead and support with the delivery of quality care for our Residents and I am equally as passionate about being there for our families too.

Westvale House is a great home, we all pitch in and I am delighted to be part of the team.

You can find me buzzing around the home, I'm full of energy and I am affectionately known as the 'pocket rocket!'. When I am not at work, I enjoy walking with my dogs, spending time in the gym and I LOVE pizza!

Hi, my name is Denise and I joined Westvale House as Home Administrator in August 2023. 

It is my role to support the General Manager by maintaining the administration and financial systems within the home.

Hi, I'm Joanne and I'm the Activities Co-ordinator at Westvale House! I joined the team in December 2023 and absolutely love my role. Getting to spend time with our residents every day and getting to know each of them more and more, is such a privilege.

I get to create and tailor our activities to the preferences of each individual resident, making sure they're all doing things they'll absolutely love, and that brings me and the rest of the team so much joy. Making each of their days special is what I believe my job is all about.

Hi, my name is Lesley and I'm Head Chef here at Westvale House. I started working here in 2023, and absolutely love my job. My passion is cooking and baking, and trying new ideas so I love that I get to explore and create new menus. Every day is different, and exploring the likes and wants of residents' food choices makes it so exciting. There's not a request we haven't had!

Outside of work, I love to walk my dog Cooper, who is just a year old Boxer. I also like to read, going to darts and rugby tournaments, and visiting my children and grandchildren who live over in Ireland.

Hi, I'm Barry and I'm Head of Maintenance at Westvale House. I joined the team in 2019 as a Kitchen Assistant, and in November 2023 moved over to Head of Maintenance as this is where my passion is. I love being a helping hand in every corner of the home, and I'm always around for team to rely on.

Most of all I love the interaction and variety my role provides, and I feel privileged to be able to make a difference in people’s lives by ensuring their home is maintained and presented to a high standard.

Me and my team strive to keep the home looking its best, and ensure residents' rooms are always clean and tidy. I work hard to make sure our home always meets Barchester's high standards and create a warm and friendly atmosphere for residents, families, team and visitors.

Outside of work I love spending time with my two horses and enjoying downtime with my family.
