Bindhu Varughese

Home Manager

I qualified as a nurse and midwife in 1995 before joining Kingsley Healthcare in 2019. After leaving India in 2004, I worked as a staff nurse at Macclesfield General Hospital for six years, before becoming Clinical Lead, Deputy Manager and finally Home Manager here at Sharston House. I am compassionate, dedicated and caring. I strive to provide a supportive environment for the residents, family members and staff. I relish a challenge, and have always been an enthusiastic team player. I love cooking and am Mum to two lovely boys!

Lisa Reeves

Deputy Manager

I qualified as a mental health nurse in 2007. I spent 7 years working in the NHS for Greater Manchester Mental Health Trust before moving into the care home sector. I have worked in a wide variety of residential, nursing and nursing dementia homes as a clinical lead, unit manager, deputy manager and I was a home manager for the last 5 years before deciding to step back into the deputy role. I love being around the residents and getting to know all about them and their families. I strive in challenging situations and like that no day is ever the same. I am a very positive and supportive person and like to empower my team to be the best they can. I am mum to 3 grown up sons and to destress I love a good crime series or horror film to watch or maybe a good Stephen King book to read.

Kate Yeung

Administrator

I’ve worked as an Administrator for over 10 years and have gained a wealth of experience in the role. I previously held Administrator positions in Hong Kong, and although I haven’t worked in the care sector before, I’m really enjoying the challenge of such a busy and positive environment. I love working with the friendly team at Sharston House and really enjoy meeting and chatting with our residents and their families. In my spare time, I enjoy running, travelling, and meeting new people.

Louise Thompson

Head of Care

I’ve worked at Sharston House for over 15 years, starting while I was still at school. I originally joined as a part-time Catering Assistant because I was planning to go to college and pursue a career in the Travel Industry. But I loved working at the home so much that, when I left school, I realised that working in care was my true calling. That’s when I decided to stay on and take up a role as a Carer. Since then, I’ve always been eager to learn, grow, and take on new challenges. I’ve completed a number of courses, including my NVQ Level 3 in Care, CHAPS, and a Diploma in Health and Social Care. I’m passionate about delivering high-quality care, and over the years I’ve gained a wealth of knowledge, skills, and experience. I was absolutely delighted when I became Head of Care at Sharston House. Outside of work, I love spending time with my two children—usually taking them to their various activities! I also really enjoy going on holiday and exploring new places whenever I can.

Fatima Mir

Head of Care

I’ve worked at Sharston House for over 8 years, starting out as a Support Worker. From the beginning, I’ve been eager to learn, grow, and develop in my role. During my time here, I’ve successfully completed my NVQ Level 2 and 3 in Care, as well as CHAPS training, which helped me progress into my current role as Head of Care. Over the years, I’ve gained a wealth of knowledge, skills, and experience, and I’m truly passionate about delivering person-centred care to our residents. When I’m not working, I love relaxing, spending time outdoors, and being with my two children.

With over 20 years of experience in media planning, digital strategy, and brand communications across the Middle East and Sri Lanka, I specialize in audience engagement, event curation, and personalized experiences. I hold a Master’s in Marketing Communication from Middlesex University and bring a creative, strategic approach to my role as Lifestyle Coordinator at Sharston House. Passionate about person-centred care, I design enriching activities tailored to residents’ interests—from social events to therapeutic programs—that promote well-being and connection. I am also committed to intergenerational and community initiatives, having previously supported children's education through creative learning projects. With a love for art, baking, and meaningful engagement, I aim to make every day joyful and fulfilling for those I support.

Carl Bagnall

Head Chef

When I left school at 16 I went to South Cheshire Catering College, where I qualified as a Chef. Initially I went to America where I worked for two years, enhancing my experience working in hotels. Before joining Kingsley I worked for 30 years in hotels, pubs and country clubs. I joined Kingsley Healthcare early in 2025 as 2nd Chef but, following the retirement of our Head Chef I have been promoted to Head Chef. I enjoy the atmosphere at Sharston House and chatting with residents to find out what food they particularly like. I am delighted to prepare fresh, home made meals for residents to enjoy. In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my family watching films and playing board games.

Richard Jones

Regional Hospitality Manager

I have twenty-four years’ experience working within the hospitality sector in various roles and companies such as IHG, Melia and University of Manchester. I joined Kingsley Healthcare as Hospitality Manager in April 2024 where I worked hard to deliver exceptional service and standards every day for the benefit of residents and their families. I am passionate about people and making a difference to improve the quality of their lives. In June 2025 I was promoted to Regional Hospitality Manager so that the improvements I had made within Four Oaks could be introduced across all homes within the North West. All the Kingsley Healthcare homes in the North West work hard to create a lovely homely environment for residents with fantastic food, service and comfort that really make them stand out as a care provider. Outside of work I write and perform music and have in recent years become an author working on several books.

Pauline Parker-Moore

Regional Operations Manager

I have been a qualified nurse for over 40 years and have worked in the care sector for 24 years. Since joining Kingsley in 2018 I have been privileged to work in various management roles including Home Manager, Operations Manager and my current role as Regional Operations Director. I am proud of the progress we have made across the North West region. We have major plans to extend two of our existing homes. It is a pleasure to work with the team to deliver quality care and provide luxury care homes for our residents. Outside of work I love travelling, especially going on cruises.

Kean Mason-Buckley

Operations Manager

I have worked in the care sector for over 25 years, starting as a support worker at the age of 17 and taking time out to do my nurse training in 2008. I have been in management roles since 2014, joining Kingsley in 2020 as a home manager and becoming a member of the operations team 20 months ago. What I love about Kingsley is that although it is a national company you still feel part of a community, connected to and supported by everyone. Outside work, to de-stress, I enjoy walking my dogs and playing video games.
