Tom Daley, our Head of Care at Vine Living, is a seasoned professional who brings a wealth of experience and a unique perspective to the world of healthcare. Joining us in April 2023, Tom transitioned from his role as a Supported Living Locality Team Leader at Brandon Trust, where he had already proven himself as a dedicated and capable leader.

Tom's journey in healthcare began as a carer, marking a significant shift from his previous career in Sales and Marketing at Carpet Right. His decision to move into the healthcare sector was driven by a genuine passion for making a positive impact on people's lives. This commitment to compassionate care, combined with his background in sales, has shaped Tom's approach to leadership – a perfect blend of empathy and strategic thinking.

Throughout his career, Tom's dedication and well-balanced approach have been instrumental in his meteoric rise within the field. His early experiences as a carer provided him with a deep understanding of the intricacies of providing quality care, while his background in sales and marketing equipped him with the skills to enhance the overall efficiency and effectiveness of our care services.

At Vine Living, Tom plays a pivotal role in shaping our care strategies and ensuring that each individual receives personalized and compassionate attention. His leadership style reflects a commitment to fostering a positive and collaborative work environment, where the well-being of both our clients and our care team is at the forefront.

With Tom at the helm of our care division, we are confident in delivering the highest standards of care that align with Vine Living's commitment to enriching lives and creating a supportive community. His journey from a dedicated carer to Head of Care is a testament to his passion for making a meaningful difference in the lives of those we serve.
