Kerry Fisher

Home Manager

I have worked in health and social care for just over 40 years in a variety of operational management and specialist support roles across the public, private and voluntary sectors.

Over my career I have achieved mutiple Diplomas.

It was important for me to work for a care provider where my values are aligned, so working at Care UK feels right. At Care UK, quality really does matter, and the vision and values are lived out in practice, putting the people we support at the centre of everything we do.

It’s essential to have a passion for working with people in this role, and leadership qualities and management skills are needed to drive the continuous improvement that delivers outstanding services.

It is a great privilege to be trusted to care for another person. Ensuring that the actions of everyone in the team make a positive difference is what drives me. I also love coaching and get a real buzz from supporting team members to grow in confidence and develop their potential.

I love starting and finishing my day with a walk around the home, talking with residents, relatives and team members. This is useful for finding out what’s working and what isn’t so that timely action can be taken to address any concerns.

Outside of work, I’m incredibly lucky to have three beautiful and energetic granddaughters who keep me busy doing all manner of indoor and outdoor pursuits. I also enjoy going to the theatre and love dancing.

Angela Lewis
Deputy Manager

I’m a registered mental health nurse with my Level 5 qualifications in management, a diploma in nursing and a master’s degree in community care.

I joined Care UK because of its strong reputation for providing person-centred care and because it values team members.

As Deputy Manager, I provide leadership, management and day-to-day operational support for care colleagues to ensure that Riverside remains a safe and compliant environment. I enjoy leading and empowering colleagues to develop person-centred care planning, which improves the quality of care that the residents receive.

In this role it’s important to encourage team members to learn and develop their skills. You need to have sound clinical knowledge about physical and psychological needs and be approachable, value others and work well as part of the Riverside team.

When I’m not working, I enjoy gardening and spending time with my grandson who lives in South Wales.

Tinumole Thomas
Deputy Manager

I qualified as a nurse and came to live in the UK in 2010.

I always wanted to make a positive difference in people’s lives. At Care UK, there are always opportunities for career development and growth. I’ve worked here for nine years and have been promoted from Unit Manager to Clinical Lead and now Deputy Manager. As a part of this, I’ve completed a number of trainings and qualifications.

My job is to lead, direct, supervise and support the team to provide a good standard of care, and thereby improve the experience for residents living in Riverside.

Having a passion for care is the top-most quality to work in a care home setting. You should have a good understanding of people you look after and have a vision to improve their quality of life. As a leader, you need to lead by example and demonstrate to your team how to make people feel valued and respected.

My favourite part of the day is my daily walk round, which helps me plan and organise my day and stay up-to-date with any ongoing events and concerns in the home.

I love cooking when I’m not working. I enjoy preparing traditional south Indian dishes with authentic tastes and serving them to my friends and family.
