An ever-present member of the St Georges family, Julie has been with us since we welcomed our first resident back in 2012.

Julie lives locally with her family and is well known within the local community. Always ready to help out or assist in any way she can, whenever she is out and about Julie allows a little extra time to stop and chat with friendly faces!

Prior to joining St Georges, Julie’s career saw her honing her natural people skills in customer-focused operations management. With her love of family and community, joining St Georges as registered manager was a natural progression, enabling her to lead a care team dedicated to the health and wellbeing of elderly residents.

Julie is a passionate advocate of the household model of care operated by St Georges Nursing Home. Leading by example, she recognises the wonderful benefits that this progressive operational model offers to both residents and staff.

Day to day, week to week and year to year, Julie brings her extensive experience in the care sector to the benefit of all, guiding and supporting the team at St Georges with steadfast leadership and a warm, generous and welcoming spirit.

Niki is a registered nurse with over two decades’ experience. She grew up in a nursing home setting, accompanying her mother, who worked in a care home as a cook. It was these early life experiences that sparked Niki’s love of nursing homes and caring for the elderly – and which continue to nourish her passion for care.

Starting out as a weekend cleaner in the care home where her mother worked, Niki progressed to carer and then senior carer positions, before leaving to complete her nurse training at UWE.

After qualifying, Niki worked on an acute surgical ward, where she became a senior and highly skilled staff nurse. Having honed her skills in care homes in Weston, Niki joined St Georges as a Nurse in 2016. Her caring nature and attention to detail saw Niki promoted to Clinical Lead and she is now responsible for St Georges’ highly experienced nursing teams in her current role as Clinical Manager.

Niki’s role encompasses leading and supporting the staff with clinical guidance whilst working alongside the Registered Manager to ensure the safe and effective running of the care home.

Never happier than when she is caring for residents, Niki feels the best part of her job is
seeing the improvement in residents’ overall wellbeing from when they first arrived.

Away from work, Niki is a member of an online singing group, enabling her to feed her other passion – music. However, Niki’s driving passion has always been caring for the elderly and the nursing home setting where she has developed her career. Utilising the invaluable skills she gained in the acute sector, Niki directs the care teams in continually meeting the day to day needs of all of St Georges’ residents.

St Georges’ first point of contact for many, Debbie’s is most likely the voice you will hear when you phone and the friendly face you will first see when you visit. In her role as Receptionist, Debbie enjoys getting to know all residents, their families and visiting healthcare professionals.

All visits are booked via Debbie and she will always make sure that anything dropped in for residents is promptly and safely delivered. St Georges’ reception is a busy place but, with Debbie’s calm and proficient organisational skills, everything runs smoothly.
