Introducing the Banstead Team

Behind every great care home is a dedicated team of people who genuinely care. At Signature at Ascot, our team brings together experience, compassion and a shared commitment to supporting residents to live well every day. From care and wellbeing to hospitality and management, each member of our team plays a vital role in creating a warm, welcoming and supportive community.

Christina Webb-Smith

Deputy Manager

I began my career in care in 2013 at Signature at Banstead as a Care Assistant and have since progressed through senior roles including Reminiscence Coordinator and Dementia Care Manager. For five years, I led our Dementia Community, supporting an exceptional team to deliver purposeful, meaningful activities that promote both mental and physical wellbeing. It is incredibly rewarding to see the positive impact this has on our residents every day.

Since November 2023, I have been Deputy Manager, leading the wider team and supporting the General Manager in all clinical matters. My focus is on ensuring the home operates to the highest standards and delivers exceptional care. I am proud to be part of a stable and dedicated management team and look forward to continuing my journey at Banstead.

Rebecca Lee

Dementia Care Manager

I began my career with Signature as a Care Assistant in 2015, which was also my first experience of supporting people living with dementia. From the very beginning, I discovered a real passion for dementia care and have progressed through a number of roles including Senior Carer and Care Supervisor, before becoming a Dementia Care Manager.

After gaining valuable experience within another home in the group, I transferred to Signature at Banstead in May 2024 as Dementia Care Manager, where I now oversee both of our dementia communities, Lavender Lane and Bluebells. I manage the operational, people and clinical aspects of the communities, working alongside an exceptional team to deliver compassionate, person-centred care. Supporting residents with meaningful and purposeful activities is at the heart of what we do, helping them to live well and enjoy the very best quality of life.
