Joanne Savidge

Jo joined Cherry Wood Grange in 2021 and has previously worked as a Registered Nurse in a variety of settings, including orthopaedics, brain injury rehabilitation, and community nursing. Throughout her career, she has been passionate about delivering high-quality, person-centred care and supporting people to live well.

She believes nursing is more than a profession, for her it is a vocation and a fundamental part of who she is. She loves the variety her role brings, with no two days ever being the same, and takes great pride in ensuring residents are safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

One of the aspects of her role she values most is spending time with residents, supporting their lifestyles through activities, meaningful one-to-one interactions, and personalised care. She is passionate about helping residents enjoy a wonderful life filled with memories, fun, laughter, and companionship, recognising how important these experiences are to overall wellbeing.

Jo also enjoys supporting and developing junior team members through teaching, mentoring, and helping them grow into confident and capable leaders.

She enjoys spending time with family and friends and regularly visits Frinton-on-Sea, one of her favourite places. A trained florist, Jo still enjoys floristry in her spare time and finds it a relaxing and creative hobby. She also enjoys gardening and being outdoors whenever possible.
