Meet the team

I have worked here for over 20 years but every day is different. Knowing I can make a difference in assisting my Tenants to remain safe and independent gives me the greatest satisfaction. Being part of a successful working team is the best.

Claire

Scheme Manager

Part of my role as deputy is to organise our many social activities. I enjoy seeing how happy our Tenants are at our social events and knowing I have helped alleviate their loneliness. I feel I have made a difference.

Tammy

Deputy Manager

I get the greatest satisfaction in creating lunch for our Tenants knowing it help them with their health and well-being. Eating lunch together improves everyone’s appetite.

Stephen

Chef

As the in-house Care provider, Housing21 have worked in conjunction with Abbeyfield since Paddy Geere House opened – we are ‘family’! Some of my Carers have also been here since it opened and that goes a long way to demonstrate how committed we are and what a great place it is to work!
