General Manager

Michelle Whitmill

I have worked for Signature Senior Lifestyle for nine years now managing homes in Leicester, Hertford and Hendon before coming to Banstead early in 2025.

I am a qualified nurse who has also worked in intensive care and day surgery before going into care homes.

I really enjoy my job leading a great team of individuals here at Signature at Banstead.  It is also wonderful getting to know the residents and their families.  No day is ever the same and there is always a new challenge popping up which I relish.  I don’t think anyone could find a job that is so varied and keeps you on your toes as much as being a manager in a care home.

Outside of work I have four and a half kids (the husband is the half) and one grandchild which keep me busy.  As a family we really enjoy holidaying in the UK – there is so much to see.  Nothing relaxes me more though than getting under the bonnet of my car, doing an oil change or upgrading brakes – there is always something to do.

Deputy Manager

Christina Webb-Smith

I launched my career in care in 2013 at Signature at Banstead as a Care Assistant and then trained to administer medication as a Senior Carer. For the past five years, I have led an exceptional team taking charge of the overall management in our Dementia Community. Every day, we provide purposeful and meaningful activities to enhance mental and physical stimulation for our residents. Having worked in such a wonderful community is incredibly fulfilling, as I witness the daily smiles on our residents’ faces.

Taking on my new role as the Deputy Manager in November 2023, I now lead the broader team, offering support to the General Manager in all clinical matters and stepping in when the General Manager is absent. My overall responsibility is to ensure that the home is run to the highest of standards, ensuring excellent delivery in all aspects of care. The stability and continuity of the management team have allowed my career to excel and take on my newest adventures. I very much look forward to my future within this role here at Banstead.

Client Liaison Manager

Tammy Sirilli

As the Client Liaison Manager at Signature at Banstead, I’m here to support older adults and their families as they explore care options and find the right home for their needs. With a background in hospitality and a passion for building meaningful relationships, I take pride in being the first point of contact, offering clear guidance, answering questions, and showcasing the warmth and vibrancy of our luxury care home in Banstead through personalised tours.

What motivates me most is helping families feel reassured and confident in their decisions, and seeing new residents settle in, make friends, and truly thrive. My combined experience in service and sales helps me connect with people on a personal level while ensuring their move into care is smooth, transparent, and positive. I’m committed to continuously enhancing the experience we offer, always striving to deliver the highest standards of care and support for every resident.

Client Liaison Coordinator

Juliet Ahmet

As the Client Liaison Coordinator at Signature at Banstead, I work closely with Tammy, our Client Liaison Manager, to guide residents and their families through every step of their care journey. From the very first enquiry to the day you move in, my role is to provide clear communication, practical support and a reassuring presence.

With over 10 years’ experience in private healthcare, I understand how emotional and important this decision can be. My focus is on making the transition to our luxury care home in Banstead as smooth and stress-free as possible, so every new resident feels truly at home from the moment they arrive.

Residential Care Manager

Olubunmi Oderinde

I started my journey in Health and Social Care in 2012 and I have never looked back. I joined the Signature at Banstead family in February 2023 as an Assisted Living Coordinator. I was fascinated to work for Signature at Banstead because of their commitment in delivering excellent care to the elderly, guaranteeing the home is safe, exciting, committed and active. Prior to this, I worked as a Supported Living Manager and a Residential Care Manager in London and Kent. My experience over the years can allow me to help our assisted living community manage and care for a wide variety of individuals. I am passionate about delivering a service that is safe, effective, and person-centred, driven by the needs and aspirations of the people we serve at Signature at Banstead.

I’m dedicated to providing our residents with the best care and support that they need to recover and maintain their health and independence. My primary aim within my role is to create a people centred function team that delivers a positive colleague experience to ensure that the people we support are receiving the best possible experience, ensuring they continue to lead a happy and purposeful life. I maintain a keen interest in supporting my team to deliver high quality care holistically, with our residents at the centre of all we do.

Dementia Care Manager

Rebecca Lee

I started my career in Signature as a Care Assistant in 2016 and then worked as a Care Supervisor before moving to another home in the group where I became their Dementia Care Manager. I transferred to Signature at Banstead as the Dementia Care Manager in May 2024 and haven’t looked back. Working in Signature was my first experience of working with residents living with dementia and I have enjoyed every minute of it. I am fortunate to have an amazing team of carers who support our residents daily with meaningful and purposeful activity; it is our aim to help our residents live the best lives they can.

Maintenance Manager

Zbigniew “Zeb” Skorzak

I started working with Signature back in 2010 and was working at one home all that time until I transferred to Banstead in 2023. My job gives me so much satisfaction which is why I have been doing it for so long. It involves a lot of compliance issues but I am a very organised person and take these things in my stride. I really enjoy working at Signature at Banstead as the General Manager is very supportive and the team are so friendly and helpful – and everyone helps each other out. My role here primarily is to maintain the condition and look of the building as it is extremely varying. I am also responsible for ensuring that fire regulations are strictly adhered to and regularly run Fire Safety training sessions for staff, both day and night.
