Deasearine Matthysen, day club manager

I have a background in residential care and joined Care UK in 2015. It was an easy decision to make as I wanted to work for a company with good values and who are passionate about delivering good quality care.

Becoming the day club manager has been the highlight of my career! To do this role well you need to be compassionate and love what you do. I always come to work wanting to make a change for the better in someone’s life. I take a lot of pride when as at the end of the day I hear our members say what a lovely day they had and that they can’t wait to see us again. The laughter through the day is another bonus for me!

When I’m not at work I like to spend time with my family and our dog Scruff. I also enjoy Latin and ballroom dancing, as well as crafts such as painting and making jewellery.
