A LOCAL family-run care group has made a number of new appointments and promotions across its three nursing and care homes in Nab Wood and Steeton.

Czajka Care Group has appointed Vicky Stainburn as the new registered manager at Currergate Nursing Home in Steeton.

At Staveley Birkleas in Nab Wood, a specialist home for younger people with physical disabilities, Solmaz Bahadori-Ridge has been appointed as registered manager.

Nurses Imogene Tempest-Mitchell and Deborah Holgate have both been promoted to unit managers at Staveley Birkleas.

Nicola Parker has also been promoted to senior manager and her new role will see her take on more responsibility across all three homes.

At Brookfield Care Home in Shipley, Julieann Fitton has been appointed as registered manager and two of its team members have been promoted to joint deputy managers - Helen Larkin and Ada Przykaza.

Managing director, Konrad Czajka, said: “One of the things that makes our homes so special is our team. We are lucky to have so many dedicated and professional people, many of whom have worked with us for decades. Another stand out feature is the chance for career progression through our in-house training, which offers plenty of opportunities for promotion.”
