Before joining Voyage Care in 2023, Pearline worked in various settings in the social care sector for over 25 years, gaining skills and knowledge in managing people, and supporting people we support and their families.
Working within the care sector is Pearline's passion, she is passionate about delivering quality care to the people we support support and adopts an open door policy for her team, she loves to encourage her team to share/listen and learn from each other. Currently, Pearline is studying for her NVQ Level 5, completing her training through Voyage Care.
Her favourite part of working in care is "supporting the people we support to live the life they choose, assisting them in areas they are unable to achieve on their own, to live a fulfilled life."
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
