KINGSMITH CARE - Key Persons
My passion is making a positive difference to people's lives. Initially I trained as a psychiatric nurse, specialising in acute psychiatry and care of the elderly. Throughout my career my central theme has always been that the client's quality of life is key.
My focus is improving clients quality of life in a simple and measurable way. Ultimately this proven method of working brings great improvements in clients' wellbeing and that is the key to my working philosophy.
I love having a versatile role. No two clients are the same, and I'm continiously learning about clients lives.
My aim is to help people - both through my own actions and through that of our carers - to have a good life, and death. I believe that a good death is possible and I have found enormous meaning in the ‘end of life' care which we have been involved in.
My specialism is responding in a crisis. Understanding what the people need and responding with thought and care. I love making a difference to people and their families during challenging phases of their lives.
Job Titles:
- Recruitment and Development Officer
Having been a carer before moving into my new job in recruitment and training, I know the feeling you get at the end of the day when you know you have made a difference to someone's life. Now I am on a mission to recruit more people to Kingsmith Care and to the sector, so they can experience that feeling too and more clients can have the care the type of care that we all deserve as we grow old. When I am not recruiting new carers I am training and supporting members of our team. And when I am not doing that I am out walking in the fresh air or having a beer!
My role as Compliance Officer is to ensure all policies and procedures are up to date and adhered to, arranging training for our carers, and giving all round support to the management team. I help the service be the best it can be.
My specialism is supporting the team that do all the great hands on work - they are all amazing. I love being part of an organisation that helps those not so able to help themselves.
If I ruled the world I'd provide homes and support for the homeless and share the world's resources more fairly.
Husband to Emma and father to her children. When I'm not helping to keep Kingsmith Care going, I'm trying to keep up with our son and daughter, who seem to have more and more energy, as I have less and less.
I am a Psychoanalyst and have a private practice away from Kingsmith Care. I am responsible for the finances and payroll, but also like Emma, I carry out the care visits.
Job Titles:
- Operations Co - Ordinator
Being part of a company that is passionate about providing the best care and support possible is a wonderful thing.
I have been a carer for over ten years, but my work now is helping to co-ordinate all the things that are needed for the care to happen - the PPE, the vaccines, the record keeping - basically helping to keep everything running smoothly so all our clients experience is what the carers want to give - tenderness and care.
