Meet The Manager
Sheree Burleton is Home Manager at Bradbury House.
I have worked in the care sector for 28 years, starting as a Night Care Assistant in a nursing home. I joined Bradbury House 12 years ago and was a Senior Care Assistant for six years, also covering as Head Chef during this time. I then progressed to Deputy Home Manager for six years and at the end of July 2023 I became the Home Manager.
I enjoy my job because it is fun! I love talking and listening to our residents about their life before coming to live at Bradbury House. I love bringing a fun element to their day by being a little crazy! I feel happy knowing that I make our residents feel safe and confident knowing that their best interests are my priority.
I love leading my team and encouraging their ideas, no matter how big or small, to improve and enhance our residents stay at our home. I feel that I have a positive impact and that I motivate others and believe that my team enjoy coming to work at Bradbury House.
Bradbury House Residential Care Home is conveniently located in the heart of Braintree, close to a range of amenities including shops, cafés, pubs, a museum and theatre, ensuring that our residents can be supported to easily access everything they need for a fulfilling lifestyle. Braintree, is a small market town that enjoys a weekly market and we are within a short walk of shops, cafes, a church and beautiful public gardens.
Life at Bradbury House has a real community feel, a home from home. Our community offers an inviting dining area, where our residents enjoy home-cooked meals and if they wish to do so they can help themselves to a drink at the bar. When the sun is shining residents can relax on the front patio and even if it’s raining residents can have some quiet time listening to forest music whilst sitting in the indoor garden.
