Meet the Caremark Swansea team

Thandekile Slade

Managing Director

thandekile.slade@caremark.co.uk
Thandie has worked in health and social Care for over 13 years, and has a wealth of experience. Through working in the health and social care industry Thandie has gained knowledge and transferable skills. Thandie has experience in working with varied age ranges from young to old individuals with complex needs including mental health, learning difficulties, substance misuse, brain and spinal injury and end of life care.

Thandie was inspired to purchase the Caremark franchise based on her experiences of working in the health and social care industry. Her passion for the care industry was driven and inspired by caring for her mother in law who was terminally ill from cancer and sadly passed away. This personal experience led to the inspiration for Thandi to want to provide the same level of care to others in the community. Thandi would like to inspire and train other carers to provide the best quality of care that Caremark is known for.

Swansea Caremark is a family run business working along side a professional team that are passionate and dedicated to providing each client with a holistic individual package of care delivered to the highest standard within the community.

Pamela has always had a passion for working with people and Caremark has an excellent reputation for providing the best quality of care so she was happy to join Caremark and open a branch in Swansea, Wales.

Rhian.Sampson

Field Care Supervisor

rhian.sampson@caremark.co.uk
My name is Rhian, I have 4 years of experience in health and social care sector.
I started my career with Gwalia as a support worker out in the community gaining experience and knowledge about my new role. Where I learnt that each person is an individual, and required different support.
With the skills I learnt with my time with Gwalia I became confident to progress in my career with other companies.

Halfway through my 3rd year in this industry I was running a small team of 12 support workers over 3 areas.
I have a passion for delivering professional friendly care to all service users whether its physical mental or palliative care.

I also have experience working in residential care with 4 adults with learning disabilities, autism, challenging behaviours and mental health. Delivering the support that each one needs.

My primary aim is to provide reliable and quality support to improve the quality of life to our service users and to support their families, to enable them to live as independent as possible.
I excited to be part of the Swansea caremark team as they are dedicated to provide each service user with an individual package delivered to the highest standard.
