Meet The Manager
Natalie Lochhead is Home Manager at Bay Court.
Natalie joins Bay Court Care Home as the Home Manager and brings a wealth of experience with a strong background in Nursing. Whilst practising as a District Nurse through COVID times and supporting a lot of care homes, it is here that her passion for social care was ignited. Having worked as a Clinical Services Manager and more recently as a Home Manager and Divisional Clinical Lead Nurse, it was in November 2024 that she completed the leadership development programme with the Queens Nursing Institute of Scotland and now has the absolute honour and privilege to hold the title ‘Queens Nurse’. With a rich appetite for providing excellence in care to the residents of Bay Court and their families as well as being a supportive and inspiring leader for her team to ensure that the home is recognised as being the care home of choice for the local community.
