Cynthia Valentine
Care Manager
I am delighted to have the opportunity to progress towards a Care Manager position. I am currently preparing myself academically to achieve this goal, while also drawing on the strong managerial knowledge, leadership skills, and practical experience I have developed throughout my career. My experience in different roles has given me a comprehensive understanding of the organisation, our clients, our carers and the importance of effective leadership within a domiciliary care environment.
Throughout my time at Caremark, I have been fortunate to work alongside a supportive and knowledgeable team. Working collaboratively and sharing skills, knowledge, and experience has contributed significantly to my professional development. I value teamwork and believe that strong communication, mutual support and a shared commitment to high standards are essential to achieving positive outcomes.
I consider myself a committed and willing learner who is always eager to develop my knowledge and skills. I welcome constructive feedback and use it as an opportunity for growth, reflecting on areas where I can improve and turning challenges and shortcomings into positive learning experiences.
I am a hardworking, motivated and adaptable individual who is comfortable working in a fast-paced environment. I understand the importance of remaining organised, calm, and professional while ensuring that the needs of clients, their families, carers and office staff remain at the centre of everything we do.
For me, becoming a Care Manager is about much more than achieving a position or title. It is about having a genuine passion for the work I do and making a positive difference in the lives of the people we care for. It is also about supporting and developing my team of hardworking carers and staff, recognising their contributions, and creating an environment where everyone feels valued and empowered to perform at their best.
Ultimately, my goal is to provide strong, compassionate and effective leadership while ensuring that the whole team works towards the same outcome: delivering consistently high-quality, safe, respectful and person-centred care.
I am committed to continuing my professional development and believe that my experience, leadership qualities, willingness to learn and passion for care have prepared me well for this next stage of my career.

Memorial
Kate was an exceptional team member at Caremark Merton for many years. Her compassionate nature and drive for quality care embodied the true nature of caregiving. With a profound understanding of the importance of holistic care, Kate went above and beyond to ensure the wellbeing of our customers and staff in every aspect.
With a wealth of healthcare experience, starting from her time as a Voluntary Aid Detachment (VAD) for the British Red Cross, she later spent 15 years working in residential housing and an additional 15 years as the manager of Anchor Housing, specialising in care for the elderly. Her expertise fostered an inclusive and nurturing environment for our customers and the care team alike.
Kate firmly believed that providing care to the local community is crucial for its thriving, and she recognised that care assistants play a pivotal role in this. We were lucky enough to be blessed with her presence that served, and will continue to serve, as an invaluable source of inspiration and motivation for our entire team. She will be truly missed by our entire team and customers alike. May she rest in peace.
Kate Colthup (1st March 1939 – 19th December 2023)
