Tara Gunn

Job Title: Registered Manager /Operations Manager Joined: 2024

With over 30 years of dynamic experience, I am a seasoned Sales Executive and Operations Manager with a proven track record across diverse industries, including travel, publishing, IT recruitment, and healthcare. My forte lies in the Live-In Care sector, where I have not only met but consistently exceeded sales targets while leading teams to success.


Throughout my career, I’ve worn many hats—driving growth, leading diverse teams, and transforming operations. Whether crafting unique travel experiences or refining healthcare operations, my focus has always been on excellence and innovation. From managing live-in care services to spearheading recruitment, marketing, and training efforts, I ensure seamless operations and high client satisfaction.
I've been fortunate to develop and execute marketing strategies across digital and traditional platforms, and to optimise CRM and IT processes, all geared towards maintaining high standards of satisfaction for clients and staff. My strong communication skills and relationship-building prowess have been pivotal in overcoming challenges and achieving results.


I am committed to continuous growth, always ready to roll up my sleeves to keep everything moving forward. I believe in a hands-on approach, inspired by Richard Branson's philosophy that if you look after your staff, they will look after your clients. This belief fuels my passion for creating positive impacts and supporting the teams I work with.

Job Title: Recruitment Manager Joined: 2024

With over 15 years of experience in the live-in care sector, I bring both frontline and management expertise to my role as Recruitment Manager.


Beginning my career as a live-in carer, I gained first-hand insight into the dedication, empathy, and resilience required to deliver high-quality care. Today, I use that foundation to recruit and onboard exceptional carers while ensuring clients receive a safe, compliant and personalised service.


I manage the full recruitment cycle – from screening and interviewing candidates through to offer stage, onboarding and completing compliance checks. I work directly with candidates to ensure their onboarding journey is smooth and transparent.


What drives me is the knowledge that every successful placement directly improves someone’s quality of life and independence. I am passionate about building trusting relationships with carers, and I take pride in creating a supportive, reliable, and people-focused care environment.
