Vesta Lodge Care Home

The Deputy Home Manager shares responsibility with the Home Manager for running the home. Deputy Manager’s will each bring their own skill set to the home, some offering more assistance with the business side of things while others focus largely on care. However, whether they look at it from a business or care perspective, the focus of the Deputy is always to ensure that their home is offering the very best quality of life for our residents. Experienced and either holding or working towards their qualifications, Deputy Home Managers are capable and driven to providing the best of everything for their residents.

My name is Tyler and I have many years of catering experience in the care industry. I am passionate about providing the very best care and food for our residents. I organises every aspect of the catering operation and provide a safe, nutritious, quality service to our residents using freshly produced food. I provide a hands-on role, leading a team which provides a quality catering service, helping to create a warm and friendly atmosphere and dining experience. Working with our residents, our team help to create menus to meet their needs and suit their tastes.

Keeping the team of Housekeepers running as it should is the Housekeeping Manager. Supervising and organising their teams is just part of their role as these managers work alongside their team to keep the home clean and inviting. The team play an important role in maintaining our infection prevention and control standards to make sure our residents stay safe and well.

My name is Amila and I am one of two Administrators at Vesta lodge. I enjoy engaging with residents, family members and staff, buildings new relationships along the way.

In my role I assist with Recruitment, Payroll and help with finances within the home, along side many other administration duties. I really like the fact that no two days are alike.

The Administrator will focus on the smooth running of the home; in whatever area they may be needed. From greeting visitors to recruiting, the Administrator is present in many aspects of life in the home, even if you don’t always see them! To be successful in the role, our Administrators have to be flexible and calm, able to multi-task and always keen to take on a new challenge. It’s often the Administrator that brings the IT skills to a home, helping them to keep everything organised. Above that though, Administrators are communicators, able to speak confidently and listen closely to everyone from Managers and Care Workers to visitors and residents.

The Receptionist plays a key part in keeping the home operating as it should. The role involves everything from dealing with phone enquiries to showing around prospective residents. Organisational and communication skills are a must for a Receptionist as it’s these qualities that allow them to make life in the home easier for their colleagues and residents. Often the first person you’ll speak to when you come to the home, the Receptionist represents the company with a professional manner, friendly approach, and commitment to high-quality care.
