Meet Colleen…
A typical day
Colleen’s day is always evolving, no two are the same. She collaborates with the operations team to streamline internal processes, oversees marketing campaigns, and drives outreach to grow Cavendish Homecare’s brand. Whether it’s managing advertising, refining systems, or making key commercial decisions, she keeps the engine running behind the scenes.
Professional background
Colleen studied Construction Management at university and worked in the construction industry before transitioning into homecare. Surprisingly, many skills; from project planning to people management, proved transferable. She now draws on both structured thinking and creative problem-solving in her current role.
Why she values Cavendish Homecare?
Having grown up in a family homecare business, Colleen was inspired by the compassion and dedication she witnessed. Today, she finds motivation in the client feedback Cavendish Homecare receives. Proof of the real impact of high-quality care. Her goal is to extend that reach to more families in need.
What she enjoys most?
The variety. Colleen thrives in a dynamic environment where she’s constantly learning, whether leading a business initiative or supporting a colleague. Her role allows her to connect all corners of the organisation, helping foster cohesion and purpose throughout the team.
Personal interests
Outside of work, Colleen enjoys hiking, playing the piano, DIY projects, gym sessions, and quality time with friends and family. A Real Housewives fan, she also loves to unwind with some good TV drama.
Favourite way to unwind
Relaxing in front of the TV is Colleen’s go-to, but she finds that keeping her evenings and weekends diverse such as socialising, staying active, or diving into creative tasks, helps her recharge and maintain balance.
Fun fact
Colleen plays the piano, a hobby that combines creativity and focus, much like her role at Cavendish Homecare.
