Care Manager

Paul Hickmott

I started my caring journey when I was 14 years old, I did my work experience within a Dementia and residential care setting and loved every hour spent there.

When I left school, I worked as a kitchen assistant within a care home and worked my way up being a senior care team member when I was 18, this quick acceleration through the ranks came about because of my passion for care and was team leader the following year at 19.

By the time I was 20 I was the company’s First aid trainer for 12 different homes, I then developed to assistant Deputy and went to all other homes to help when situation occur and support guide and teach best practice and person-centred care,

I have done all NVQ to level five and have been managing homes for over 15 years.

I have also been a Crisis Manager for 9 homes to get the homes to where they should with a turnaround within three months.

I had a pause to look after my own mother at home, this gave a me better understanding of relationship with families as I know first hand how hard it with loved one and difficult choices that need to be made.

Care is hard enough for all involved, so if I can make that difference to anyone, I will do what is needed and wont stop until we are there.

Team Leader Care Manager

Jinu Jose

I began my career in care during my work experience placement in a dementia and residential care setting, where I discovered my passion for supporting others. This led me to pursue a role as a senior carer, and through dedication and a hard work, I was promoted to team leader in a nursing care home.

Currently, I serve as Team Leader Care Manager at Woodlands House, where I combine my leadership skills and hand-on experience to ensure the highest standards of care for our residents. Alongside my practical experience, I hold a BSc in nursing and have also gained valuable expertise in the medical IT field, giving me a well rounded perspective on healthcare delivery and innovation.

So far my journey in care has been deeply rewarded, and I am committed to fostering compassionate, high-quality care environments.

More Reviews

Received from daughter of resident:

"My mother suffered from Alzheimer’s dementia and eventually, it became difficult for the family to care for her.
The staff at Woodlands House were very caring and knew how best to help my mother settle in by developing a care plan that met her individual needs.
The staff were very experienced and

nothing was too much trouble, they knew how to cajole and play along with my mother.
We as a family were confident and happy with the care received."
