Meet our team

Richard Ridley-Gurr

Service Manager

I recently joined Swanton Care as a Service Manager early in 2022 where I am working towards my Level 5 Registered Management Qualification, having supported people with learning disabilities and autism for over 20 years in various settings. 

I moved to Swanton Care as I believe in their ethos, that is further developing Swanton Care’s reputation as a creative, people-focussed organisation with a very strong practice-based support. 

I have a particular interest in promoting personalised care, positive behaviour, and active support.  I am passionate about supporting and working alongside families and local communities to ensure that people who need support build strong connections within their local community.

To provide quality support I believe that working in partnership with the people we support, allows us to embrace and provide safe and meaningful care while encouraging growth and opportunity. This enables the people we support to live with choice and achieve their full potential.

Dhiraj Rijhwani

Divisional Director

I joined Swanton in 2017 as a service manager and worked with the team to expand supported living services as well as manage residential homes. In time, I became regional director for the North-East in 2021, and Divisional Director in 2024. I learned very early on in my career with Swanton that the company is very passionate about the people we support, their homes and enriching their quality of life, which aligns with my own values.

I moved to England from Mumbai, India, in 2005 for education which I continued to do for several years. During this time, I integrated with people from many countries and cultures, and this helped broaden my viewpoints massively. I firmly believe this helped me to embrace diversity and value varied inputs throughout my career, which I have been in since 2006.

I understand that being in a support environment can be difficult. Together, the team and I are here to help in empowering and supporting those in our care to feel safe and live the lives they wish to lead.
