Career Development

Real stories from our team

Progression isn't a promise here — it's what people actually do. Meet a few of the colleagues who've built careers with Cornwallis.

From Senior Night Carer to Home Manager

Meet Wayne

From Senior Night Carer to Home Manager
“Watching the team I mentor grow and succeed is incredibly rewarding.”

My journey into care began with a personal connection — both my younger brothers have learning disabilities. As my passion grew, I moved into elderly care, and now have the privilege of leading a dedicated team delivering truly person-centred care at Cornwallis.

From Healthcare Assistant to Quality Assurance Advocate

Meet Amy

From Healthcare Assistant to Quality Assurance Advocate
“Being their voice and earning that trust is a privilege.”

I began at Trecarrel in 2006 as a Health Care Assistant. Cornwallis supported me through my Level 2 and Level 3 qualifications and medication training. After 12 years at Beech Lodge as a Senior, I joined the Quality Assurance Team — advocating for residents and their families.

From Care Assistant to Manager in Just 5 Years

Meet Kiah

From Care Assistant to Manager in Just 5 Years
“I'm proud of how far I've come in just five years.”

I started as a Health Care Assistant at Hendra Court in 2020. Cornwallis supported my Level 3 in Adult Care, I became Deputy Manager in 2023, and in June 2025 took on the permanent Manager role at Cowbridge — with my Level 5 Management qualification now underway.
