Jian Chummei

Home Manager

My name is Chunmei Jian, but my preferred name is Jian.

I am a registered general nurse with CIPD level 5 HR qualification. I am particularly interested in working with elderly people who need dementia care and general nursing care.

Before joining our fantastic team at Cambridge Manor as a care service manager in 2013, I worked as a Deputy Home Manager in two other nursing homes. I have taken on the new role as the home manager here since November 2021. As a home manager, I lead, manage, and develop a dedicated team to provide high-quality, person-centred care according to the needs and wishes of each resident. When residents need extra support to live as independently as possible, my focus is to provide a safe and happy environment to promote “wellness, happiness and kindness” in their lives.

I provide leadership and supervision to inspire and motivate the team to ensure that we comply with current best practices, TLC policies and procedures, and relevant legislative requirements to make a real difference to the quality of lives of our wonderful residents who live at Cambridge Manor.

Amber Christou

Business Development Manager

I joined TLC Care at our sister care home, Cherry Hinton as Business Development Manager in April 2021 and then in June 2023, I joined the team here at Cambridge Manor. Previous to joining TLC Care I  worked for 10 years in the hospitality industry which was a great experience but I decided it was time for a change in my career path. I have always been interested in the care sector and particularly passionate about helping people.

I am really looking forward to what the future holds at Cambridge Manor and to building fantastic relationships with both the residents and the wider community.

Maria Bonifacio

Care Services Manager

After graduating with a BSc in Nursing at the Philippine Women’s University, I passed the National Licensing exam in 1995 and later registered under the NMC in 2001.

I have been practicing since 1995 in both hospital and care home settings. A career in healthcare has allowed me to maintain high standards of practice through audits and appraisals, ensuring carers and nurses work professionally and cater to the preferences of residents. Additionally, I’ve mentored nurses in the UK and overseas but what I have enjoyed most of all, is spending time with residents and their loved ones. I’ve faced the difficulties of the job and what makes it worthwhile, is hearing positive feedback from residents themselves and their families. Hearing the team at TLC has made an impact on someone’s wellbeing is rewarding.

My longest positions remain as a clinical lead in Adult Nursing and as a unit manager, further specialising in Palliative care.  All of which has prepared me for the role as your Care Services Manager where I’ll continue my duties in collaboration with the incredible clinical team and all members of the TLC family.

Martin Ogwang

Hotel Services Manager

I have 20 years of experience working in the care sector. I joined the TLC Care family in 2009 and worked in different roles at the Support Office and care homes. I have worked with brilliant mentors within the company and have learnt so much along the way.

As a Hotel Services Manager, I am responsible for managing and delivering outstanding hotel services provided to our residents, based on their interests and needs.

When I am not with residents, I am passionate about learning and development and always enjoy supporting our team members with their training needs.
