Caremark Brighton and Hove

After qualifying as an Occupational Therapist, I have worked with a variety of client groups including, working age adults and older adults within the area of acute mental health.
As an Occupational Therapist, I take a holistic approach to both mental and physical well being, with an emphasis on promoting independence, and enabling and empowering individuals to achieve their full potential, whilst respecting their values, dignity and freedom of choice at all times.
I am passionate about being able to provide the highest standards of professional domiciliary care to our vibrant community of Brighton and Hove, enabling individuals who choose to remain living independently in their own homes.
I am proud to be the managing director of Caremark Brighton and Hove, along with Susannah.

I started with a degree in psychology which led a to a career looking after children with learning difficulties and severe autism. This then progressed to working for many years with the over 65s who had mental health issues particularly specialising in supporting people who had dementia as well as supporting and advising their families. There were lots of facets to my job but the part that I enjoyed most was helping them to remain at home when they so wished by assessing their personal needs and arranging for suitable support to be put in place to enable that to happen. This has left me with a passion and desire to see that people who wish to be cared for and supported to continue to live in their own homes are enabled to do so with competent caring staff who are able to ensure that everyone is looked after as an individual.
Caremark as a company offers to ensure that those people who wish to stay in their own homes get to do this by being looked after by caring, competent, well-trained staff and I am proud to be the managing director of the Brighton & Hove branch along with Anita.
