Walfinch Southampton

Laura is the Managing Director of Walfinch Southampton. Laura gained a name for herself at a young age in the Catering and Hospitality industry, running the kitchens for several top-class establishments before opening her own restaurant. In later years, she moved over to working as a Chef Manager in local care homes. Laura always made sure that she went the extra mile to talk with and establish a personal rapport with the residents.

More recently, she has run the recruitment and administration for another local care company before joining Angela to launch the local Walfinch branch in Southampton.

Laura also engages in caring duties as she likes to be hands-on. This allows her to train new professional care support team members and understand those who are in need of Walfinch's assistance. It is important to remember why we are professional care supports in the first place- the human element is key for Walfinch Southampton.

Angela has worked in the care sector for over 20 years with extensive experience in community and residential/nursing homes. She holds a Level 5 QCF in Leadership & Management, as well as being an End of Life & Dementia Champion. In a recent role, Angela achieved an Outstanding CQC rating in the Caring category and it is this continuing dedication that ensures Angela and her team deliver outstanding individual person-centred care to every single client who needs support in their own home.

Establishing and maintaining trusted relationships allows clients to reach their own level of potential while maintaining independence in the happiness of a familiar and safe setting.

Like Laura Angela is very hands-on and also involved in providing care.

Robin has previously worked with Angela and has a wealth of experience, which is adding great value to our team. He has come into Walfinch with an infectious personality and a ton of Ideas.

"I have worked in the care industry for over 22 years and have a varied background in Brain Injuries, Dementia, Mental Health and Learning disabilities.

I have experience as a Mental Health First Aider supporting colleagues and clients, being able to signpost them to health professionals. I have worked in partnership with many GPs, District Nurses and Client Advocates and lots of community-based projects"

Robin is also one of our trainers in Basic Life Support, Moving & Positioning and Skin Integrity/Pressure sores. He is also hands-on with the support visits when needed. This gives him a greater insight if the client's needs have changed and also whether the professional care support team need extra training.

Robin's other roles are making sure all of the support visits have a professional care support team member allocated to them. As well as bring on new clients, completing their assessments in their own homes.
