Christiana Ajao

Deputy Manager

I have worked in the care industry since 1989 and have been at Brackley Care Home since its inception in November 2020. I am passionate about delivering person-centred care and strive to facilitate good communication and decision making between the people we support, their families and the care team. I enjoy spending time at home with my family and in quiet times like to read a good book as well as meeting up regularly with members from my church group.

Julie Wilson

Customer Relationship Manager

I come from South Africa where I worked in a customer facing role within the horse racing industry for many years. I have been at Brackley Care Home almost since the day it opened in November 2020 and love absolutely everything about my role. The close human interaction is what I thrive on and I strive to deliver exceptional customer service whilst building on and developing strong inter-personal relationships with our residents, our families, our staff and our visitors to the home as well as to the wider Brackley community. In my spare time I enjoy visiting National Trust properties, exercising, reading and doing cross-stitch.

Emma Hudders

Administrator

My name is Emma, and I am the Administrator at Brackley Care Home. Prior to working with the company, I worked in retail. I strive to go above and beyond to create a warm and welcoming environment for residents, their families, and our staff members. I am always ready to lend a listening ear, offer assistance or to provide a comforting presence to those in need. I have worked with the organisation for almost 2 years now and am looking to further my education and skills by undergoing an NVQ in Business Administration. One of the things I love about working here is the atmosphere. Everyone cares and supports one and other, and the staff all work incredibly hard. Outside of work, I enjoy travelling, reading and cooking. I’m also interested in Interior Design.

Barbara Foley

Activities & Lifestyle Co-ordinator

Most of my working career has been in middle management in both the retail and hospitality industry before I changed my career path to working in care homes. I love the special time I get to spend with the residents at Brackley Care Home - we are always learning from each other and I am privileged to have the chance to make wonderful memories with them. In my spare time I love cooking, gardening and fine wines.

Chanice Lyne

I'm Chanice and I've worked in care for over 10 years where I started off as a volunteer before moving into activities. I enjoy spending time with our residents at Brackley Care Home and love listening to all the wonderful stories that they have to share. Outside of work I love being with my family, dancing and I also volunteer as a dance teachers assistant teaching children ballet and freestyle.

Fiona Coggins

Head Chef

With over three decades of experience in the care sector, my journey began at the age of 19 where I worked as a kitchen assistant in a girls' boarding school before progressing to the role of sous chef and eventually, after many years, Head Chef. My passion lies in crafting nutritious and aesthetically pleasing meals for our residents, including those requiring textured modified diets as per the IDDSI guidelines. I love engaging with our residents, listening to their life narratives and forming meaningful connections which enables me to tailor culinary experiences to their preferences with empathy and understanding.

Cherryll Johnson

Head Housekeeper

Prior to joining the team at Brackley Care Home I was self-employed running a small, but very successful, cleaning business. Here at Brackley Care Home I can carry my passion for cleaning forward to the whole housekeeping team but my favourite part of my job has to be the interaction I have with the residents. At home with my family you will find me either in my kitchen cooking or caring for my large collection of house plants.
