Branch Manager: Gemma Mayo
I have been working in care since 2004. I first started by working in a home for adults with learning disabilities where I was made up to senior support workers. After two years I left there to join an agency to get more experience in other areas of care. I joined Advantage Healthcare as an agency worker in 2007 and gained experience of elderly homes, mental health, brain injuries, children, challenging behaviour and domiciliary visits. I moved into the office as a branch consultant in May 2008 and was moved up to Acting Branch Manager in April 2010 – looking after things whilst Tasha is on maternity leave. I am really enjoying the position and strive to continue the high standards of the Ipswich Branch.
Branch Consultant: Sarah Dempsey
I have worked in customer services for over 14 years in various roles from retail to aviation, progressing to customer services trainer. I moved into the Care industry in 2008 working in a domiciliary setting caring for a range of people. I then moved to Advantage Healthcare Group in June 2010 as a Branch Consultant in Ipswich, where I am currently working on developing our domiciliary team.
Branch Consultant: Saira Mughal-Malcolm
I have previously worked in Customer Services, and Insurance. In 2009 I moved to the care sector as a HCA which involved working with Young People, Learning Disabilities, Mental Health and Elderly, I then moved up to a Care Coordinator for a Domiciliary only care company. In March 2010 I joined Advantage Healthcare Group as a Branch Consultant in Ipswich; I am currently working on increasing establishment clients.
