Jamie

Founder / Managing Director

Jamie founded Otter Homecare alongside his wife, Bowling. His passion for care grew from his personal experience as the main carer for his father, who suffered a stroke. Caring for his dad — and coordinating teams of support carers around him — showed Jamie first-hand the profound difference that good, person-centred care can make to someone's life. Before starting Otter Homecare, Jamie co-founded food and beverage companies in Thailand, where he lived throughout his twenties and thirties. That entrepreneurial background gives him a drive to do things differently — particularly when it comes to using technology and innovation to improve outcomes for clients and make life easier for Care Professionals. Jamie is currently undertaking a Level 5 Diploma in Health and Social Care, and lives locally in Bradford-on-Avon with his family. He is hands-on in the business and deeply committed to building a care company that families — including his own — can truly trust.

Anna

Care Supervisor

Anna worked in an assisted living home for adults with special needs, where she was the lead support worker for one of the clients. She came into care because of the impact she can have on someone's life — from meaningful conversations and moments of laughter, to being there to reassure someone when they're not having the best day or feeling worried about something. Making people feel safe and happy, and knowing she can help make their days better, is the most rewarding part of what she does.
