Steven’s journey in care began in 2017, where he started as a Care Assistant, gradually advancing to Home Manager. His extensive experience and dedication make him the perfect fit for our community.

Outside of work, Steven is an animal lover with two dogs, Gizzy and Bella. He also has a bearded dragon named Godzilla. In his free time, Steven enjoys listening to music, watching Netflix, and spending time with family and friends on various outings.

Steven is highly qualified, holding NVQ levels 2, 3, and 4, and is currently pursuing his NVQ level 5 in Leadership and Management. His goal for Sandpiper is to make it the home of choice in the community, the top choice for employment, and a place where relatives feel peace of mind and comfort.

We are excited for the future under Steven’s leadership at Sandpiper!
