Hi, I’m Marta Nowak, Interim Registered Manager at Pant Yr Odyn.
I moved to the UK in 2006, beginning my career with Swanton Care as a Support Worker in Maesteilo, one of our other residential care homes in Wales, then progressing through to Team Leader, Deputy and now Interim Registered Manager of Pant Yr Odyn.
Since joining Swanton, they have helped and supported me through my Level 5 QCF in Management and I complete all training and development which is made available to me.
I find supporting those in our care with learning disabilities and challenging behaviour exceptionally rewarding, especially supporting them to achieve their own personal goals and aspirations.
I truly believe that Every Moment Matters, and I take great pride in the work that we collectively achieve as a team at Pant Yr Odyn.
I joined Swanton Care in September 2006 as a Support Worker at Maesteilo care home, since then I have gradually progressed through to Team Leader, Deputy Manager, Home Manager and most recently progressing to Regional Director of Wales in July 2022. Throughout my time with Swanton Care, they have supported me through my Level 3 and Level 5 Management qualification in Health and Social Care.
I have supported people with learning disabilities and autism for over 16 years, the knowledge and skills gained during this time is invaluable and has supported my progression through to my current role. My philosophy is to provide person-centred care that embraces safe and meaningful care for the people we support, encouraging growth and opportunity. I am a strong believer that working together is best and working in partnership with the people we support brings more positive and meaningful outcomes.
During my seven years of being a Manager, I have helped develop 4 members of my team who then progressed to Deputy or Managers. Encouraging my team to develop and grow always brings a smile to my face and I look forward to continuing this throughout my role as Regional Director.

Our team is enthusiastic, compassionate, and committed to supporting people in a way which respects their personal choice, promotes their access to the community and their engagement in a wide range of activities.
