Staff and residents at Orchard House Care Home in Newport are celebrating after news Managing Director, Natasha Lazovic, has been nominated as a finalist in the Great British Care Awards 2023.

The dynamic director has been shortlisted in the 'Outstanding Contribution to Social Care' category. 

The London final is part of the Great British Care Awards, a series of nine regional awards celebrating excellence across the care sector.

The purpose of the awards is to promote best practice within both the home care and care home sectors, and pay tribute to those individuals who have demonstrated outstanding excellence within their field of work.

The awards ceremony will take place on November 18 at Hilton Bankside. The winner will go forward to the national final next year.

Natasha came to the UK in 1994 from Serbia and commenced her training as a nurse.

Natasha has had an amazing career, and with dedication and determination has progressed from a registered nurse through the ranks, working in a variety of care settings, both in the NHS and private sector, with London being a main base.

She joined Barchester in 2014 as Regional Director leading 10 homes, which then doubled to 20 as Senior Regional Director, and as Managing Director now oversees more than 80 care homes in the South Division.

Natasha said:

“I am very humbled to be nominated for this award, and I am very proud to be part of the shortlist, and to be representing Barchester as a finalist.

It is an honour to be recognised for doing a job I love and I wish to continue to make outstanding contributions going forward, I am hugely passionate about the care sector.”

Orchard House Care Home is run by Barchester Healthcare, one of the UK’s largest care providers, which is committed to delivering high-quality care across its care homes and hospitals.
