Meet Evans...

Ghana-born nurse Evans Sarbeng is one of 28 staff recruited by Saint Cecilia’s Care Group from overseas in the past year and is playing a vital role delivering care in our centres.

Evans grew up in Duayaw Nkwanta in southern Ghana and after school went to nurse training college in Berekum. Following three years’ training he did the mandatory year of work for the Government at the St John of God Hospital in his home town before going to work at the Mount Sinai Hospital in Kumasi.

Evans was tempted by the job at Saint Cecilia’s by the opportunity to take up a new challenge and progress in his profession. After an interview across Zoom, he arrived in this country in November and after a month’s training started at the nursing home in December. He is thoroughly enjoying working at Saint Cecilia’s, particularly getting to know the residents well.

“They are amazing,” he says. “A pleasure to look after. We lift each other – if they are feeling down, we lift them up and if we are feeling low, they cheer us up too.”

Away from the nursing home, Evans has thrown himself into football, joining Aaron and Jordan Padgham playing for the Goal Sports team.
