Learning disabilities
Hi, I’m Stuart, Service Manager at Murton Grange and Trinity House. I’ve been part of the Swanton Care team since 2011, starting out as a Support Worker supporting adults with learning disabilities and autism.
Before joining Swanton, I struggled to find a role I truly enjoyed—but becoming a Support Worker changed that. I found the work incredibly rewarding and set myself a long-term goal of becoming a Service Manager. With Swanton’s support, I completed multiple qualifications in health and social care, team leadership, management, and positive behaviour support, which helped me grow both personally and professionally.
In March 2021, I achieved that goal and stepped into my current role. While my day-to-day responsibilities have changed, one thing has stayed the same: my commitment to making sure that Every Moment Matters for the people we support.
I bring over 15 years of experience in the social care sector, having started my career as a support worker in 2009. Over the years, I have held various leadership roles, which have given me a deep understanding of both the challenges and rewards of delivering high-quality care.
I’ve had the opportunity to collaborate with technology companies to develop assistive technologies, and most recently, I served as a Strategic Leader overseeing 130 services across residential, respite, domiciliary, and ISL provisions. My dedication to ensuring that care is personalised and tailored to each individual’s unique needs is central to my work, and I firmly believe that every voice matters and deserves to be heard.

Supporting and enabling individuals to meet or exceed their personal goals is what we do at Trinity House - Swanton Care.
Person-centred activities are encouraged on a day-to-day basis. A short drive from the coast in our own mini-bus and just next to a shopping centre, activities are not limited.
The people we support have a garden on site which holds plenty of space for outdoor activities or relaxation, which on a sunny day is an absolute must!
Trinity House is known for its homely feel and layout, where individuals are able to feel safe.
Feedback in our latest CQC’s report read; “People appeared happy and relaxed with the staff who supported them.” Afterall, Every Moment Matters.
