I have been working in Health and Social Care since 2003. I have worked in different settings, including residential and supported living. I started as a Support Worker and worked my way through the ranks to Management. I have completed my Level 5 Diploma in leadership for Health and Social Care and children and young people services (Adult Residential Management), IOSH Health and Safety and all other mandatory training.
My day to day responsibilities are providing support to the team and people we support, ensuring health and safety is met at all times, planning fun activities, reviewing risk assessments and support plans and carrying audits.
I love putting smiles on the faces of the people we support. I am passionate about working in Social Care. I enjoy seeing the people we support live a fulfilling life and achieving their goals no matter how small or big!
My names Andrew, as well as being passionate about delivering great quality care and support, I am also passionate about playing guitars, doing DIY, camping, and picking locks!
My working life started on the tools as an electronic wireman before joining the Royal Berkshire Ambulance service as an Assistant Ambulance Paramedic in 1991. I carried out emergency duties for almost 10 years before having to change careers due to a back injury.
I had been working for an agency supporting people with learning disabilities on my days off so took the opportunity of taking a role as a support worker in a learning disabilities residential care home in Hampshire. I progressed through the ranks within the organisation and managed my first registered service in 2001. For the same organisation I moved onto project managing for the set ups of new services for people with learning disabilities. Coincidently all these services are still running with the majority now being managed by you guessed it, Voyage Care! Voyage cares values attracted me to the roles, I did my research and found that the organisation really does live by them.
Since then, I have worked in supported living, domiciliary care services, set up and ran an activities service in Bedford, before being given a promotion to Operations Manager at the Fremantle Trust. I returned to working with learning disability services as Operations manager for Voyage Care in September 2023 and am embracing the new challenges and managing a portfolio in Greater London. The best thing is still working with people we support as well as a supportive team!
My core responsibilities include a long list encompassed by oversight of services and support of Managers to achieve company objectives to help develop their skills, monitor quality and pushing forward to meet financial objectives.
Over my career I have attained the following qualifications:
Certificate in Ambulance Aid
Certificate in Ambulance Driving (to police roadcraft)
Registered Managers award (RMA) Level 4
Award in education and training Level 3
Level 7 in Strategic Management and Leadership
I have also been a trained NAPPI trainer to level 2 as well as a Moving and Handling Trainer
