Debbie Russell
Digital Marketing & Recruitment Executive
Embarking on a journey within the care sector in 1994, my path has been one defined by a desire to support individuals facing unique challenges, particularly those with learning disabilities. Over the years, I’ve held diverse supervisory roles, gaining invaluable experience and honing my understanding of this vital sector.
Currently entrusted with the roles of Recruitment and Digital Marketing Executive, I thrive on the intricacies of connecting the right people to the right roles. It’s a dynamic task that taps into my enthusiasm for matching talent with opportunity.
My enthusiasm for Caremark’s vision runs deep, an unwavering dedication to ensure each customer receives care reflective of what we’d wish for our own loved ones. This vision drives me to advocate for positive change within our community, aligning with the profound belief in the transformative power of compassionate care.
One of the most gratifying aspects of this journey is witnessing our dedicated Care Assistants exceed expectations and give back to the local community. Their commitment to going above and beyond underscores the values that unite us in this fulfilling mission.
Charley Ayling
Field Care Supervisor for Storrington and Pulborough
I started my career in care when I was 18 after doing my A Levels in psychology, sociology and health and social care. I worked in a care home on a nursing floor for 2 years and then went onto work on a dementia unit where I worked up until 2023. Whilst working here I worked my way up to a team leading position where I was responsible for running the unit and guiding my staff.
I joined Caremark in 2023 as a field care supervisor. This job role has grown my confidence and I always work ensuring high quality person centred care. I take pride in my work and ensure I am a great support and listener to both our carers and customers. I am extremely passionate about my job and very proud of what I do.
Vera Ribeiro
Field Care Supervisor – Horsham and Billingshurst
I came to the UK in 2016 for 4 years to have a different experience outside of my country, Portugal and develop my language skills. During these 4 years, I gained experience in the health and social care industry. Due to COVID, I returned to Portugal and was there for 4 years and then beginning of this year, I decided to return to the UK.
Caremark gave me the opportunity to work as a FCS, which has been challenging but I truly enjoy collaborating with staff and engaging with our customers. I believe that by working together and supporting each other as a team, we can create a positive impact and environment that benefits both Care Assistants and customers. My focus is on building strong relationships to ensure that everyone feels valued, appreciated, and supported and that we provide the best service possible.
