New team member joins Ascot Grange

Jo Barnard joins Ascot Grange as HR Manager, Jo shares with us her experience;

I have worked in HR for 9 years across different sectors and have gained some invaluable experience during this time. After leaving College I started to work as a temporary HR/Payroll Administrator for DHL on the B&Q contract, initially only for 12 weeks. My contract was extended by a further 3 years where I worked on many different sites where needed leading me to being asked to manage the recruitment and selection proces for a new B&Q Distribution centre they opened in Swindon. I then went on to work for TJX Europe (commonly known as TK Maxx and Homesense stores) where I managed all ER queries with my team, for all UK and Ireland stores. During my time there, I gained my CIPD qualification. More recently I worked for a Technology Company – Acal Technology Solutions LTD.

I have joined Signature Ascot Grange at a really exciting time and I am looking forward to seeing the Community, residents and Employees grow. My first few months will be focusing on recruiting all staff members who will help to make the home a success and are true examples of the Signature model.

Care Fee Planning

Good afternoon,

It's been a busy couple of weeks for us all here at Ascot Grange. We have opened the doors to our information centre and welcomed lots of visitors to view our show suites. We are delighted with the warm response we received from so many people in the local community and are excited about all the things to come.

One of the questions many of our visitors have asked is the best way to fund long term care.  We are therefore delighted to be able to offer a free financial clinic on Wednesday 25th January. Nick Truss from MDS financial will be here between 10am and 3pm to help guide and support those interested in the options available, a no obligation session to help put your mind completely at rest in terms of funding. Appointment slots are limited so please call ahead to confirm your time.

Whilst you are here you are more than welcome to join us for a tour of our stunning show suites, ideal for independent living and couples, whilst still enjoying all the facilities that Ascot Grange has to offer.
