Bayford House Care Home

Staff

Mrs Jessy Bino

Deputy Manager

I am Deputy Manager at Bayford House. I have been with Bupa for fourteen years. I am a Registered Nurse from India. I moved to a Middle East hospital where I was a Specialist Nurse in Intensive Care Unit (Team Leader) prior to moving to the UK. I am married with three little daughters.

I am enthusiastic, compassionate nursing professional with over twenty-one years of experience as a Registered Nurse.

I always ensure that we provide excellent care and support for residents and their families during the time they spend here at Bayford House with us.

Mrs Christine Hutchings

Home Manager

I started as a care assistant in Dec 2014. Quickly progressed to a senior carer then senior carer with medication responsibilities. Then unit manager in 2017. Lastly, I applied for the home managers position.

I have always since the age of 19 worked in the care sector. I spent a lot of time working for social services in Essex and North Yorkshire and I have also worked as a sheltered housing officer.

I am married with 2 children. I live locally to the home. My husband and I enjoy fishing and holidays in Cuba. I enjoy working in care as i love to see the smiles that good care puts on the residents faces!

Mrs Freda Joyce

Activity Coordinator Newdale Court

I have been at Bayford House/Newdale Court for twenty five years. I am Newdale’s Activity Coordinator and I have three children; two boys and one girl and seven grandchildren - I even bring them in to work sometimes as they love to talk to the residents. People often say that I should have retired by now but I class this as my second home and love all my residents.

When I lost my husband, everybody here was so supportive. My favourite time of year is Christmas when I put up all the decorations in the home, which the residents and families enjoy.

If I can go home at night and know I have made one of my residents smile that is a great feeling.

Mrs Judy Potts

Finance Administrator

I am originally from Greater Manchester where I worked for Dairy Crest since leaving school until I joined Bupa in June 2008. Firstly as an administrator at The Donnington, where I worked for four years until I had the opportunity to move to Thatcham Court, which is a larger home, in June 2012, this presented additional scope for broadening my experience.

I embraced the challenge of working in a new care home environment, as Thatcham Court is a dementia home, and this presented new aspects to the job and also included a wider range of duties. After working in a dementia home for nine months I felt I would prefer to focus my skills in a non-dementia home, which is when I came to Bayford House in May 2013.

Mr John Poynter

MaintenanceGardener

I joined Bupa Bayford House in February 2006 where I have been maintaining the home and gardens for over ten years.

I am married to Lyn who also works here at Bayford House and we have two grown up children but I now enjoy my evenings with our cat Colin.
