Join our team

Providing seamless support to each care package from carer to client.

Our care management team makes sure that our clients get the care (and carers) they want and need; that our carers are well looked-after and are doing their work well.

From helping with routine enquiries to dealing with emergencies, the team has been trained to be efficient and effective, making sure that above all our clients are able to live as independently and as happily as possible.

Using our main value of “do as you would be done by” our team organise and manage the carers, making sure that our clients’ personal goals are met; that they are happy at home and that families know and understand what we are doing to help.

Led by James and Ebony, the team set up regular teams of carers; making sure that our clients have people they know and like looking after them, booked far into the future to give predictability and certainty.

James Watkiss

I joined Christie’s Care in January 2014, and since then have been managing various teams within Care Management. I am very proud to be part of a team that strives to give the best to our clients and carers, and never stops trying to be the best we can.

I am a proud father to my three-year-old son, and five-year-old daughter, both of whom command most of my time! I am an avid golfer and love getting a round in when I can. I’d love to say that my golf is the Outstanding standard that Christie’s Care strives for, but sadly this would not be entirely true!

I joined Christie’s care in 2018 and have enjoyed building relationships with our carers and clients. No two days are ever the same, and the office staff are incredible and supportive – it’s a great environment to work in. I like that we all have the same vision and are all dedicated to providing the best service possible.

Out of work I spend time with my partner and crazy daughter; we all enjoy paddleboarding (or in my case falling off!)

Having been furloughed from my previous role in Engineering, I had the time to reflect on what I was doing in life and decided I want to help other people. I joined Christies Care halfway through the pandemic and haven’t looked back. The best thing about my new role is knowing that I have contributed to someone being able to stay in their home. 

When I am not at work, I raise funds for local charities and enjoy spending time with my family and the dog.

I’ve worked with Christies Care since 2020. I really enjoy it, there’s an amazing office team and I love speaking with the clients and carers, sometimes just for a chat!

I live with my partner and our pug, who is a spoiled prince!

I have been with Christies Care for three years and it’s such a rewarding job – I love being able to make a difference in people’s lives by supporting them. I have lived in Suffolk my whole life and currently live with my husband, my little boy who is almost two and my stepdaughter who is 14.

Leah Podger

I joined Christies Care in November 2021, having worked in community, nursing and residential care for the previous 12 years within the Suffolk area. My role is to support our clients so they maintain independent living within their homes. I also provide support to our carers so they can give this type of support. I enjoy working at Christies Care, with caring and encouraging colleagues. I learn something new every day.

When I’m not at work, I enjoy going for long walks, taking photos and spending time with my family and friends.

I have been with Christies Care since 2016 after changing counties and careers. It’s a world away from what I was used to, but I wouldn’t change a thing. I enjoy that every day is different at Christies, and meeting characters, both in and out of the office.

In my spare time, I am chasing after my 3-year-old boy and 6-year-old girl, who both like telling people I work for ‘Rice Krispies Care’!

I started with Christies Care in 2004 and have been fortunate to have been able to work across all of the teams in the Care Management Department. 

I love the diversity of our work and how everything we do is aimed at continually improving our service and supporting everyone that needs us. I love being able to help and support people in whatever way I can 

In my own time, I have a hectic and active family life and we are very blessed to have three wonderful children.

I have been with Christies Care for three years and enjoy my role, particularly the diversity as each day is different and varied.

Whilst not in the office I am a mother to my 7-year-old son, 3-year-old daughter and you will find us mostly at the beach.
