The Team

Reuben has worked in the third sector for several years having been Business Development Manager and Operations Manager within Charitable Organisations both in Wales and Cornwall. His experience is wide ranging and he has expert skills as a communicator, motivator and inspirational speaker. With a very positive approach to life and work, Reuben believes that ‘people don’t care how much you know, until they know how much you care’. Reuben, a past  Secretary and Associate Trustee for RESEC Cornwall and  member of the Proud to Care Cornwall Steering group, is now focussing firmly on working in partnership with several quality organisations in the County to provide solutions to the challenges in Health and Social Care. His positive and inspirational approach to change has been used by DWP, Coastline Housing , Rebuild Southwest and Next Steps Southwest to motivate and inspire some of their hardest to reach clients, School and College students.  Working with True Blue Training solutions and Dynamo Training, Carers Break can now boast of providing amongst the very best training for sector employees in the County.

“I believe that we can positively change the reputation of care in this country by adopting a holistic approach to everything we do. Our Mission is to improve the lives of the people we care for and their families in the most effective and relevant ways we can. We are a Company with a huge heart. The team here do it as an extension of who they are, rather than an expression of what they do” “Carers Break is a powerful vehicle for change in this sector. We believe in excellence as the foundation of all that we do and with our chosen value of ‘Kindness’ running through every aspect of our working lives”.

Mother of 6 young children, Suzie is used to keeping all the plates spinning. Suzie is putting those organisational skills to great use in her new role as Office Manager and is a valued member of the Carer Break team. With a background in Child care and Paediatric nursing, a spell of ill health changed the direction of travel in Suzie’s career path. After moving sector’s into the highly competitive retail industry, Suzie quickly adapted her skills and focus toward a fourteen year career which led to store management with well known national brands such as Coop , Peacocks and The Card Factory. Following the birth of her first three children, Suzie saw her new job role advertised online and thought “I could do this”. “Since joining Carers Break, I am loving  it, the role is very diverse and extremely rewarding. The Companies beliefs and values are those that all Care Providers should adopt”.

Since joining the Company, Suzie has had child numbers 4, 5 and 6 and is returning in late summer 2024 to continue her blossoming career in Carers Break .
