We select our staff for their integrity, friendliness, skill and professionalism but they also must share our ethos and values of love, compassion and respect for people as individuals. To maintain our very high standards of care, we take great time and effort in the recruitment and selection of our staff.
To ensure that we have a great team, our philosophy is ‘employ caring people – rather than – employing people to care’. Our approach focuses on spiritual as well as physical well-being and we arrange regular visits from various church groups to provide support and encouragement.

I have been at Byway house for more than 15 years, I first started on the floor as a care worker, I then decided that cooking for the residents was what I wanted to do so I transitioned over to the kitchen.

I started at Byway in 2014 as the chef; I’ve spent my whole career caring for and cooking for residents, beginning as a night worker at a prior establishment. My love of cooking led me to a new work path, and I’ve spent many years providing home-cooked, tasty, healthy meals for residents. I also work a second job at our local butcher, where I create various buttery pastries and quiches, which I then duplicate for our Byway House residents. I like socialising with our residents and cooking meals according to their preferences.
