Our Team
Our Home Manager
Our residential care home is currently led by our experienced Home Manager, Samantha Jeffery, who supports our qualified team of carers, kitchen and housekeeping team members.
Before joining Jasmine, Samantha gained extensive experience in the care sector, working in two different care homes. Samantha spent 15 years in a small residential home supporting people recovering from mental health difficulties, followed by seven years in a 43-bed nursing home, where she developed her skills and progressed to the role of Deputy Manager.
Both roles presented their own challenges and provided Samantha with valuable experience, knowledge and skills that she continues to transfer into her current role at Oxendon. Throughout her career, Samantha has developed a strong understanding of the importance of person-centred care, supporting individuals with dignity and respect, and working closely with colleagues to ensure the best possible outcomes for those in our care.
Before joining Jasmine, Samantha took a short break from her previous care roles to work as a Renal Manager within patient transport services. This role gave her the opportunity to spend time on dialysis wards, supporting patients with their regular transport to and from appointments. It further strengthened her understanding of the challenges people can face when managing ongoing health conditions and the importance of providing reassurance, compassion and reliable support.
“I am pleased to bring my varied experience and skills to my role at Oxendon, where I hope to continue making a positive difference to the lives of the people we support.”
Our Team
The home manager is supported by our Deputy Manager Simon Stewart, in order to ensure there is a member of the management team available every day of the week. We believe this is important for the well-being of our residents and the peace of mind of their relatives.
Our Home Manager and deputy are assisted by a qualified and experienced care team. The care home team is dedicated to carrying out their duties 24 hours a day, seven days a week. They are committed to making a meaningful difference to the lives of the residents who live at Oxendon House.
Leadership Support Team
The St Andrew’s team are supported by the Leadership Support Team which includes our further support from the Jasmine Support Hub team.

As the founder of Jasmine Healthcare, Chris is passionate about ensuring Jasmine’s care homes have a positive and meaningful impact upon the lives of both our residents and our team members.
Chris is the ‘Nominated Individual’ registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC).
Chris previously worked for Hermes, a private equity firm, where he was involved with large acquisitions in the elderly care sector. It was this professional experience, alongside his personal involvement with elderly care homes in relation to two of his close relatives, which led Chris to take up this rewarding vocation. Before working at Hermes, Chris worked at PwC as a chartered accountant, and later in their corporate finance practice.
