General Manager
What I do:
As General Manager I am committed to ensuring our lovely residents get the very best out of life. I coordinate the team here at Rokewood Court to ensure residents are safe and supported within the home.
My experience:
For over 14 years I have been lucky enough to work in the care sector. My first position was an activities coordinator and I quickly got promoted to Deputy Manager. Before entering the care sector, I worked in Portugal as a researcher in social care with unemployed women, elderly people and people with disabilities. My main passion is working with people, motivating and coaching them to be the best they can. This also applies to my lovely residents!
About me:
I’m originally from Portugal and have fallen in love with the UK and its people. Last October I married my best friend in a truly lovely ceremony. We have now relocated to the south coast in search of new adventures and challenges. In my spare time, I love clambering over old ruins, visiting castles and historic monuments. English history is something that fascinates me, especially as there is so much of it around! Our other joy is travelling around Europe (when we can) and trying out new cuisines and restaurants.

Deputy Manager
What I do:
I qualified as a teacher in 2005, but my path changed in 2012 when I came to the UK and started working in the care sector as a care assistant. I have experience in both nursing and residential care homes which enabled me to gain more in-depth knowledge of differing care needs. I am a great believer in that no two residents are the same and that each have differing needs, desires and preferences.
My Experience:
I have developed through training and practice and besides being a care assistant, I have been an activity coordinator, a team leader and I currently have over 5 years experience as a Deputy Manager.
My biggest achievement to date has been occupying a position as Acting Manager in my previous workplace. It was a very rewarding position, full of new challenges from which I have learnt a lot and gained good understanding of the management role in a care home which I look forward to bringing to Rokewood Court. I am currently working on my Leadership and Management level 5 Diploma and I am using every opportunity to share my experience with the team and to get involved in our residents care. I am very passionate about elderly and Dementia care which I aim to pass on to the rest of the team. The reason I started working with Rokewood Court and Cinnamon Care Collection is that we are all united and share the same values: passion, dedication and respect. I am looking forward meeting you all.
About me:
I love travelling and trying different foods. I have a son who just turned one that keeps me busy and amazed each day. I love spending time with my family and seeing the little one grow.

What I do:
I am the first point of contact for prospective residents and their families. My role is to guide families through the journey into care, offer support and introduce them to our wonderful homes and the fantastic lifestyle we offer.
My experience:
I joined Cinnamon with over 5 years of experience within Residential, Dementia and Nursing Care. Previously to this my career was within the NHS, specialising in Primary Care and Community Health. I made the change to Care after going through the journey with my own Mother and Father.
About me:
I have a keen interest in sports and have previously competed at national and international level. I am also passionate about Italian motorcycles and cars and I am lucky enough to own a few. However, my greatest enjoyment in life is my family and our family dog Roman the Bull Terrier.
