Vicky Wade

Vicky joined Queen Elizabeth Park in June 2014, bringing with her a varied background spanning retail management, dental practice management and education. Before moving into care, she worked as a Teaching Assistant supporting young people with autism to develop everyday life skills. An opportunity to join QEP as an Administrator followed, and she has loved being part of the home ever since.

As Head of Hospitality and Administration, Vicky has an important role in making QEP a welcoming and enjoyable place to live. She approaches hospitality as though she were welcoming guests into her own home or a beautiful hotel, paying attention to the little details that make residents feel special. Whether it's creating a lovely environment, fulfilling a resident's request or simply making someone's day a little brighter, Vicky will always try to make it happen. Alongside this, she oversees key administrative responsibilities including contracts, finances, audits and HR.

Outside of work, Vicky loves entertaining, socialising and travelling, particularly staying in beautiful boutique hotels. Family is also incredibly important to her, and she enjoys spending time with her adult son and embracing her new role as a nanny.

"I like to think that everything I do makes a difference in some way, even if it's the smallest difference to somebody's day."
