KASIA GIBBS – REGISTERED MANAGER
With over 20 years of experience in the health and social care sector, including more than 17 years in senior leadership and management roles, I am passionate about delivering exceptional, person-centred care and driving a culture of continuous improvement.
Throughout my career, I have successfully led both residential and domiciliary care services, supporting teams to achieve excellent outcomes, including Outstanding regulatory ratings. My experience has given me extensive expertise in governance, regulatory compliance, quality assurance, workforce development, and operational leadership, ensuring that residents consistently receive safe, compassionate, and high-quality care.
I have a particular interest in harnessing the strong potential of data and technology to improve care quality, resident outcomes, and organisational performance. As I continue my studies towards a Level 4 Qualification in Data Analytics, I am combining my practical leadership experience with data-driven insights to support informed decision-making and innovation across health and social care.
I firmly believe that outstanding care begins with strong leadership, compassion, integrity, and empowering others to reach their full potential. By creating positive, supportive environments for both residents and colleagues, I strive to inspire teams to deliver the very highest standards of care every day.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending quality time with my family and my dogs, who provide a welcome reminder of the importance of kindness, balance, and wellbeing-values that I bring into my professional life as well.

PAULA STAFFORD – REGISTERED MANAGER
I have dedicated my career to health and social care since 1991, beginning with the NHS before moving into social care management in 1993. Throughout my career, I have remained passionate about delivering the highest standards of person-centred care, ensuring that every resident receives compassionate, dignified, and individualised support.
I am proud to have been recognised for my commitment to excellence, receiving the 'Service Above Self' Award from the local Rotary Club in 2022 and the Outstanding Care Services Manager Award in 2025.
My philosophy has always been centred on enriching the lives of our residents by developing and mentoring dedicated care teams, building strong relationships within the local community, and providing ongoing support to residents, their families, and loved ones. I firmly believe that outstanding care is achieved through compassion, continuous learning, teamwork, and a genuine commitment to making a positive difference every day.
Professionally, I hold the Level 5 QCF Diploma in Leadership and Management for Health and Social Care and have completed a wide range of specialist training to enhance both my own practice and the development of others.
This includes the CIEH Train the Trainer Certificate, Performance Management, Dementia Care, Moving and Positioning Assessor Training, Infection Prevention and Control (Train the Trainer), Advanced Medication Management, and many other leadership and clinical training programmes.
With over three decades of experience, I remain committed to promoting excellence in care, supporting colleagues to reach their full potential, and creating warm, welcoming environments where residents can live fulfilling, meaningful, and happy lives.
