Also, from the moment my mum was admitted staff all knew who me and my dad had come to see and also kept a check on my dad, who is 88, when I was not there, making sure he was OK.

Tom has worked within various elements of health/social care and adult social care over the past 20 years. He has considerable experience with Learning disabilities within treatment and assessments hospitals, mental health, domiciliary care and elderly care. Prior to this Tom worked within secure units for young offenders. Like many, Tom "fell into the care sector" as a career when he left the military. He was at a crossroads, not knowing what he should do next when he was offered a position within children’s services. From there he hasn't looked back, working in many roles and differing environments. Tom has continually developed new skills for each role and has always been able to bring that "something else", sharing the knowledge that he has developed along his career journey. When asked about his passion for care, Tom Says, "working within care is what I do, I can't imagine myself doing anything else. The friendships and bonds that we build with the individuals we care for are fantastic and the rewards are seeing someone thrive, witnessing someone recover from illness and being able to return home or just sharing a moment and seeing someone smile." Tom has worked for St Martins Care since April 2020, which Tom says has been great. "I’ve found that we all share the same vision which is the provision of outstanding care, this isn’t just a management ethos but the belief of all staff from the ground up. We believe that we do indeed provide excellent care but there is always room for improvement, our goal is to provide care which is perfect person-centred to each individual, care where we have full involvement of that person but care that includes families and friends and the local communities."
Kirsty began her career at North Park residential care home in 2008 and had no care experience prior to that. Her first role was as a Care Assistant within North Park looking after both general residential and dementia residents. She was supported to gain relevant qualifications and soon after was promoted to Senior Care Assistant. In 2019, Kirsty applied for and was promoted to a lead senior role and by 2020 became Deputy Manager. In 2021, Kirsty decided she needed more experience to develop her career and joined Willow Green and St Martins Care as a Senior Care Assistant. Kirsty says “I haven’t looked back since joining St Martins Care, I am now the Deputy Manager of Willow Green and I am very grateful for this opportunity. The entire team are fantastic, this includes care staff all the way to senior management. We are just one big team, we all care deeply about the roles we hold and work in partnership with families, friends and outside professionals to ensure we meet the varied needs of our residents. To nurse someone back to health, re-enable someone with mobility and to help people through some of the most trying times, is a privilege. I am very grateful to St Martins Care for this opportunity and look forward to a bright future.”
