KINGSLEY - Key Persons
I joined Kingsley health care in May 2020. I feel very lucky and fortunate to be given the opportunity to work for kingsley. I come from an administration and payroll back ground which was not challenging enough and spent most days clock watching. The role of administrator in the home is challenging and very much hands on. No day is the same which I really like. I have learnt a lot and been supported throughout my time here at Timperley. I find the role very challenging and enjoyable.

Through doing that I became more involved with the residents and was asked if I would consider being a support worker. I then progressed from support worker to a senior. I'm very proud of what I do and I love my job . It's wonderful to go home knowing I have made a difference. Working at Brooke House is like having an extended family.

I also worked for the NHS for 17 years specialising in surgery. This included vascular, colo-rectal and then day surgery specialising in nurse led discharge. I came to Highcliffe in December 2015 as a full time nurse and it is there that I met Tracey Millar who was the Deputy Manager of the home at that time. It was with Tracey's guidance and support that I progressed into the role of Deputy Manager in May 2016 when she progressed into the role of Home Manager.

My motto is do everything that you can today as tomorrow is not promised and I aim to make a positive difference to everyone that I encounter. I look forward to getting to know our current residents and to welcoming all future new residents (and their families) to The Brackley Care Home.

My name is Mark Fleming and I have been in hospitality for 42 years. I spent my first 17 years in hotels in Coventry and then spread my horizons into the Merchant Navy where I spent 2 years on Carnival Cruise Lines. My claim to fame on that jaunt was to cook for Morcambe & Wise, singer Christopher Cross and apparently Doris Day, although I never saw her. We travelled around the Caribbean so I can say that I have been to Barbados - 104 times. My wife and I then took over a Private Members Club in Coventry called the Quadrant Club where the main clientele consisted of barristers and solicitors and we were there for 12 years and after that we were involved in the running of "The Inn at Greatworth". I am really looking forward to looking after everybody here at Brackley Care Home to the very best of my ability.
I've been working as a Chef within the care industry for the past 15 years, before that I was lucky enough to work in France and Spain for five years for a UK overseas water sports company. I have always found working in the care setting as a Chef far more rewarding than in a Restaurant or Hotel because you are trying to help make a difference.
I have many years' experience in the maintenance industry where most recently I have been involved doing maintenance work within the hotel industry. I have a great affiliation with the older generation and being able to combine my work with spending time with the elderly is very rewarding. Working at Brackley Care Home is a pleasure as the Home is lovely and it is a joy to see and interact with the residents on a daily basis. My role is to ensure that the residents' home is a safe, well maintained environment and that it is kept running as smoothly as possible at all times.
