We believe in delivering quality care and to do this we must have the best and most passionate people who are committed to making a difference. We are fortunate to be able to boast that we have just such a team…
Paula Nuttall
Registered Manager
Paula trained as a nurse in 2010 and worked in Canterbury as a District Nurse before moving to Leicestershire. For 5 years she worked as a Community Nurse in Market Harborough. Paula’s work in the community sparked her passion for delivering high quality care to the elderly and so she made the transition from community nursing to work in a local nursing home. Paula worked as a Deputy Manager for 14 months before joining Sibbertoft Manor in January 2021. Paula, brings with her a wealth of clinical experience, strong links with local community nurses and a commitment to providing the best quality care to all our residents.

Karen Woolford
Deputy Manager
Karen began her career in nursing later in life, after raising her children and working in roles involving animal care and as a care assistant. Once qualified, she gained valuable experience in a community hospital with a focus on palliative and rehabilitative care. She then moved to a general hospital to pursue emergency medicine, where she developed a strong connection with older patients. This led to her role in an innovative admission avoidance team supporting older individuals in the emergency department. Following the project's closure due to funding, she continued in emergency care and was later seconded to help establish a frail elderly unit alongside a geriatrician. In 2019, Karen transitioned to nursing home care, moving to Leicestershire in 2021 to join Sibbertoft Manor as a night nurse. She was promoted to Deputy Manager in February 2024.
Nurses
We have nine registered nurses on our staff (2 RMN’s and 7 RGN’s), all of whom have worked at Sibbertoft Manor for several years.
Trainers
We have two carers who also provide training for the company. Our trainers hold numerous training certificates and are able to train our care staff in many mandatory training areas. Using our own staff works extremely well as it means they can deliver training personal to our home and residents.
Carers/Housekeepers and Catering Staff
Every member of this team has a valuable role within the organisation and all play their part in providing the first-class care afforded to our residents. All care staff complete The Care Certificate within 12 weeks of commencing work. Additionally, all staff are required to complete training relevant to their positions and refresh training qualifications on a regular basis. Following 3 months of service staff are afforded the opportunity to develop the skill base further with Apprenticeship Schemes within their professional fields

Activities Managers/Co-ordinators
We have an activities manager and two activities coordinators who, between them, are responsible for ensuring residents have access to regular entertainment, whether it is reading them poetry, playing cards or group activities. Our activity calendar is varied to cater for all our residents’ hobbies and interests.
Office Manager/Admin Staff
We have a full-time Office Manager and a part-time Admin Assistant who provide support to management with the day to day running of the home.
The Owner
Sibbertoft Manor is a privately-owned home. The proprietor lives within the grounds of the nursing home and can often be found on-site. This proximity to the home means that little goes unnoticed and provides for easy attention to detail.
