Our Management Team
Justin Edwards
Manager
I have worked in health and social care for many years and have been fortunate to gain experience across a variety of roles. My career has included working as a support worker, care coordinator, governance lead, and now Manager at The Evergreens Lodge.
What has always remained constant throughout my career is my passion for providing high-quality, person-centred care. I believe every resident deserves to be treated with dignity, respect, and compassion, and I am committed to creating an environment where people feel safe, valued, and truly at home.
I work closely with our dedicated team to ensure we deliver the highest standards of care while supporting residents to maintain their independence, choice, and wellbeing. I am also passionate about continuous improvement and developing a positive culture where residents, relatives, and staff feel listened to and involved.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family and making the most of the Dorset countryside. I believe that kindness, honesty, and teamwork are at the heart of exceptional care, and I am proud to be part of the team at The Evergreens Lodge.
Amy Trowbridge-Smith
Deputy Manager
I am proud to be the Deputy Manager at Evergreens Lodge, where my passion is ensuring every resident receives the compassionate, individual, person-centred care they deserve.
With over 15 years of experience in health and social care, I have been fortunate to work across a variety of settings that have shaped my knowledge, leadership and commitment to delivering exceptional care. My career has included managing a nursing home, providing operational support across three care homes, and, most recently, working within the NHS in Accident & Emergency. While I thoroughly enjoyed my time in the NHS, my heart has always been in residential care, where I can build genuine relationships with residents, families and our dedicated team.
I believe that the little things make the biggest difference. Taking time to listen, understanding what matters most to each person, and creating a warm, homely environment are at the centre of everything I do. Every resident has their own life story, preferences and aspirations, and I am committed to ensuring these remain at the heart of their care.
As a leader, I strive to be approachable, supportive and positive. I believe that when staff feel valued, respected and empowered, they are able to provide exceptional care. I enjoy mentoring and developing our team, celebrating success and working together to continually improve the quality of care we provide.
I am excited to be part of the Evergreens Lodge family and look forward to supporting our residents, their loved ones and our amazing team as we continue to make Evergreens Lodge a place where people truly feel safe, valued and at home.
Kerry Siddell
Head Of Care
I have worked in the healthcare sector for over 17 years and have gained experience in a variety of roles throughout my career, including Care Assistant, Senior Carer, and Chef. These diverse positions have given me a broad understanding of the importance of providing high-quality, compassionate care.
I genuinely care for every resident and firmly believe that each person should be treated with the same love, dignity, and respect that you would give to a member of your own family. Providing person-centred care is at the heart of everything I do, ensuring that each resident's individual needs, preferences, and choices are always respected.
As Head of Care, I am excited to work alongside the team at Evergreens Lodge, sharing my knowledge and experience to help deliver outstanding, person-centred care and to create a safe, supportive, and welcoming environment for all our residents.
