Meet the Team
The people who make Lavender Fields feel like home.
We’re proud to have a close-knit, experienced team, not just carers and managers, but real individuals who bring warmth, humour, and heart to every part of life here.
Our staff bring years of care experience, and many are committed to building familiarity and trust here at Lavender Fields. That stability means familiar faces, deeper trust, and support that doesn’t start from scratch each day.
We take time to get to know every resident, not just their care needs, but their stories, preferences, and the little things that matter.
Built on Experience, and Heart
Our team includes qualified carers, wellbeing coordinators, chefs, grounds staff and support workers, all working together to offer joined-up care and a settled rhythm of life.
We also have in-house leadership who are actively involved in the day-to-day, not just names on the website.
At Lavender Fields, no one works in isolation. We believe the best care comes from people who support each other as well as those they look after.
We share knowledge, lift each other up, and always look for ways to improve.
It’s a Team Effort. Always.
