Meet The Harrogate Team

Paul Harvey Matthews

Managing Director

I’m the franchise owner, here at Caremark Harrogate.

After university, I volunteered in a care home and loved it so much I knew that care and support was where I belonged. Nearly thirty years later, I can definitely say it was the right decision. More recently, in July 2022, I had the opportunity to purchase Caremark Harrogate. Since then, as a team, we have been focussing on developing the services we provide and building a strong business. I’m really proud to be able to create jobs for local people and to help them provide a brilliant care and support service.

If I’m not working, I’m often in the garden or the kitchen – ideally cooking fresh veg grown in my garden.

Care Manager

We are now recruiting to this position.

Rosie Palfreeman

Field Care Supervisor

I’m one of the Field Care Supervisors, my job is to visit people receiving care from Caremark and to support the care team.

Growing up, my mum was, and still is, a nurse. I saw the care she gave people and wanted to be able to do the same myself. My first job was working in a care home, helping out with the meals after finishing school for the day. I have worked in health and social care ever since. Whilst working for the NHS, I heard lots of really good things about the recent developments in Caremark Harrogate and I decided to join the team in August 2022. As a supervisor, I aim to be a good role-model for the team and I always try to be the kind of manager I would like to have.

When I’m not at work I’m usually running around after my four boys (yes, one of them is my husband!).
