Guardian Angel Carers Eastleigh & Hedge End

I started my career in adult care in 2012, as a healthcare assistant. This was in an acute surgical ward at Southampton general hospital. Since then I took up various roles within clinical settings which resulted in experience across many care provisions. After taking time off to travel, I started a five-year role as a senior support worker in the community palliative care team. In this role, I could fulfil my grandma’s last wishes and support her journey to the end of life, in the comfort of her own home.

My passion for ensuring individuals receive high-quality care drove me to want to learn and expand my knowledge. Therefore, I undertook a diploma of higher education in healthcare support.

I believe everyone should be able to lead independent, fulfilling happy lives with the caring and compassionate support of others. Guardian Angel Carers share these values, providing safe, effective quality care with dignity and respect.

I practised General Medicine Nursing in Romania before specialising in Mental Health Community Nursing. I always thrived on giving people my time and trying to make a difference.

I left Nursing in 2003 and started my career in adult social care. Fortunately, I could work across different areas of adult social care, including learning difficulties and mental health.

My career started as a support worker and progressed to becoming an Area Manager. In addition, I completed my diploma in managing health services.

In 2016 I had to personally seek community care for my sister who had cancer and required end-of-life support. This connected me with carers who were going above and beyond to support not only my sister but our family too. This prompted me to restart direct managing for community care teams. I wanted people in similar circumstances to have the same outstanding experience.

Fast forward to today, where I have actively managed a local community care team, and continually expand my knowledge. Making a difference and doing things creatively to achieve excellence has brought me to Guardian Angel Carers. I believe that the ethos of Guardian Angel Carers and working alongside like-minded people will help me develop further.

Prior to opening Guardian Angel Carers Eastleigh & Hedge End, Stephen spent 10 years as a Hampshire Police Detective. Following the birth of his second child through surrogacy, he wanted to share his experience with others. As a result, he joined a non-profit professional surrogacy agency based in the UK. His varied background gives Stephen many interpersonal skills that are essential for running a care business.
