ABOUT US

Hi there! My name is Lorraine Kingham and I have worked in the care sector for 26 years, starting out as a carer, working my way up to supervisor, then into management. Although a manager for over 20 years, I still enjoy being hands on, as it helps build a good relationship with my customers and their families.

I have worked for corporate companies and franchises and have grown the businesses successfully, both financially and in reputation. However, the personal touch can often get lost on the way. I wanted to put this right by opening my own company – Belgrave Care. Along with my dedicated team, the 50 years of experience between us has enabled us to hit the ground running and I cannot thank people enough for their support.

My person-centred focus has been my driving force and, with my good sense of humour, I always say “If I can make someone laugh it makes my day” and I’m always there to listen.

I am also a semi-professional vocalist – and like to paint in my spare time, as well as being an animal lover.

Testimonial

Hi! I’m Jane Burgess and since coming on board with Belgrave Care as a Carer and Communications Manager, I have never looked back. The company invests in its staff, encouraging them to develop their skills, so I was delighted to be given the trust and support to study and qualify for my NVQ5 in Care in Leadership for Health and Social Care.
This, in combination with several year’s work experience at the General Medical Council and Health & Safety Executive, has helped me to grow with the business, and to be given the opportunity to become Registered Care Manager.
I have taken to this role wholeheartedly as I am so proud to work with a dedicated and enthusiastic Belgrave Care team. I truly believe that if we look after our staff they will look after our customers.
I share the same vision as Lorraine, understanding people’s circumstances and doing what we can to help them stay more independent in their own homes. Every customer is different with their own individual needs so person-centred care is at the heart of everything we do.
Belgrave Care is committed to delivering an excellent service in a traditional way with staff who know what they are doing. Our senior carers are doing a fantastic job of supporting everyone in the field.
Our office is well located at 13 Hoole Road, Chester, where we welcome anyone who has any enquiries about finding care for their relatives and loved ones, or for anyone who wants to join our friendly team of carers.
I too love animals and am interested in current affairs, history, reading, writing and running.

Hello there! My name is Clare Owens and I am the Training Officer for Belgrave Care as well as being a Care Worker.

I have worked within the health and social care industry since 1989 in various roles including hospitals, residential homes and in the community.

I have experience with a range of customer groups such as older adults, young people leaving care, adults with a learning disability and people who use mental health services.

I have experience across a wide range of roles including healthcare worker, supervisor, trainer, deputy manager and registered manager.

I strongly believe that learning and development never stops; no matter how long one has worked in a particular industry, there is always an opportunity to learn new things and share them with others to improve practice.

I love animals and my interests also include current affairs, creative writing, reading and music.
