Colchester Care Centre Appoints New Manager

Salutem Care and Education has appointed a new manager to oversee two of its Colchester services. Dema Dema has joined the team at Kacee Lodge and Ewer Court.

Dema has worked in the health and social care sector for fifteen years and at Salutem Care and Education since 2018. She began her career as a reporter in her home country of Bhutan, but on moving to England in 2010 she pursued a career in social care, a sector she had written extensively about.

From starting out as a support worker, she progressed to deputy manager, then manager and is now the manager of the two homes.

Dema said: “Salutem has been amazing in progressing my career with training and qualifications and it’s such a supportive network of colleagues. This is a rewarding job and every day I reflect on the individuals we support and feel so honoured to be able to help them in their journeys and give them a sense of independence and meaningful lives. I am very excited for my new role and hope I can continue to make a difference in the lives of the individuals we support.”

Regional director of Salutem Care and Education, Lucy Bithell said:
“Big congratulations to Dema and I wish her every success in their new role. I know she will do an amazing job for the individuals we support and for her teams. She is a testament to the incredible career opportunities in the social care sector and here at Salutem.”
