New Age Care

I want to make the care of clients the number one priority. I will achieve this by working closely with the customer and their family to understand their wishes and needs and providing the best work environment for my staff...

I am originally from a successful family business in Yorkshire. I became involved in care as a result of losing my father to pancreatic cancer and my mother to complications from cancer.

This is how my journey in care began. The reason I decided to start New Age Care was because I didn’t like the ethos in the office of a large care company. I could see a better way to do things.

Joshua Allen is one of Samantha Whittaker’s sons. Josh is currently serving in the British Army and was recently promoted to Lieutenant, Josh has taken a keen interest in the business.

He has plans to take a more active role in the business when he has finished his service.

My name is Nav, and I’ve just started work as the Head of Governance & Quality Assurance at New Age Care. I am really excited about the opportunity of working with great people who are passionate about delivering outstanding care to people in their local community.

A little about me and what I hope to bring to my new role is my previous work experience. I have over 17 years’ experience working in various healthcare environments, ranging from regulatory organisations such as MHRA, where I worked within the enforcement division, to safeguard public health. The CQC, where I worked in the role of an acute inspector and for Healthwatch Hull, as a delivery manager. I have also worked in other roles as a Registered Manager for Secure Care UK, which is a mental health transport service. As a governance manager for the Proudfoot Care Group (residential care homes), and in my previous role as head of governance for Comforting Hands Limited, which is a Domiciliary Care service.

On a personal level, I am a committed Manchester United fan and love travelling the country with my children, visiting all the major theme parks. Well, it’s more like I get dragged to all the theme parks by my kids; I’m no good with heights, so I find myself crying like a big girl on most of the rides. The kids find it funny, so I guess I’m doing my job as dad. When I’m not spending time with the kids, I’m being dragged around by the other half, mostly on shopping trips where I act as a driver. I also use my skills as a baggage handler to good effect and have got really good at fitting different-sized shopping bags into my boot.

Caroline started her career as a support worker, over 25 years ago. She loved the job from the start and knew that it was the type of work she wanted to do. Over the years she has worked with a range of people of all ages and backgrounds, with care and support needs, in various settings.

There have been some situations during her career that she has found challenging, but by overcoming these challenges and helping someone else through a difficult time, she believes this is part of her vocation that she finds particularly rewarding.

Caroline is passionate about supporting others to maintain their independence and achieve their own personal goals in life.

Outside of work, she enjoys socialising with family and friends and trying to meet up with them as much as she can. She loves to read, especially books about psychology, or true stories. She also enjoys going to the theatre, and music concerts and loves to travel. She finds it fascinating to go to new places and learn about other cultures and traditions.
