DIRECTOR/

FINANCIAL CONTROLLER

sami.ahmed@emeraldgreencare.co.uk

I began my career working in Retail industry. I quickly progressed up and became Manager. I held this position for 10 years; Managing large groups of staff and co-ordinating the daily running of the shifts and ensuring all policies and procedures were understood and followed. I continued to do this whilst studying for my degree in business with finance. 

In 2016 I graduated and received my certificates. With these new qualifications I wanted to start progressing more in my career in a field I enjoyed. I worked in all sorts of industries and tried many different roles such as a Project Manager and Housing in the local Authorities, however I found that the one I enjoyed the most was care. Working in the care industry was the most rewarding job I had done. Using my skills and qualifications I decided to set up Emerald Green Care. Working with my business partners we planned together to set up a company that could pride itself on delivering a gold standard care services whilst ensuring their staff were well looked after and respected.

NOMINATED INDIVIDUAL

I started in the Retail industry where I was trained in customer services. I progressed up into a management role where I was responsible for the daily running of the store. Taking into account all training needs of the staff and ensuring health and safety policies were met. Although I enjoyed this role, it wasn’t something I wanted to make a career out of. 

I later joined the care sector, and fell in love with the job. There was nothing more rewarding then getting up and going to work. Whilst delivering daily care to my customers, I completed my NVQ in health and social care. Along with previous management skills, I quickly progressed up to management level. This was to try and deliver care on a bigger scale and make more of a difference. Whilst doing this I found that a lot of staff felt very undervalued and underappreciated and customers were not made the priority. It was my aim to ensure that we created a place of work where not only did our customers feel safe and were looked after, but our staff were as well.

REGISTERED MANAGER

I began my career in 2014 as a care worker, this was a role I immediately fell in love with and I knew this was something I wanted to pursue. While undertaking this role, I was also studying at University for my Certificate in Health and Social Policy. After obtaining my certificates, I quickly progressed to management level at work. This involved; supervising staff members, organising staff meetings and training updates and ensuring frequent contact with customers enabling them to receive the best possible care. 

Although I had many years’ experience working with and supporting elderly clients, I wanted a new challenge. As a result I  took a position running a care home for adults with learning disabilities. This role provided me with the opportunity to expand my knowledge in care and evaluate and improve my skills in management. Again, this was a role I really enjoyed, however I found that my love and passion for care remained with helping the elderly within their own homes. Following many conversations with my new business partners, we realised there were several shortcomings within the industry and we wanted to create a company where quality of care was at the forefront of everything we do.
