Your local Dartford branch of Walfinch is co-owned by Managing Director, Sally Wokeh. I have a wealth of experience as a health and social care worker which I am bringing to my role as Managing Director of the Dartford branch of Walfinch. I started my experience in health and social care 8 years ago, delivering domiciliary care for the elderly and vulnerable clients with confidence and compassion. I have developed my career within the healthcare sector which has provided me with many vital experiences in delivering quality care to my client and maintaining good relationships with the families. My exceptional organisational skills have aided me in starting and running my own E-commerce business for the last 5 years, in addition to my care work. The transferable skills gained from my
business, such as drive and self-motivation, comes very handy in managing the Dartford branch.

Your local Dartford branch of Walfinch is co-owned by Managing Director, Gloria Fisher.  My wealth of experience gained over 25 years, both as a qualified SEN Teacher and Health & SocialCare professional has put me in a unique position of opening and operating the Dartford branch of Walfinch. I share Walfinch’s Mission, Vision and Values in care.
Working in Education and Care sectors over the years have taught me to be resilient, empathetic, compassionate, and kind. Also, the importance of being a good communicator especially with good listening skills has enabled me to understand the needs and wishes of clients ensuring these are met. One of my objectives in establishing this branch, is borne out of my desire and passion to provide the highest standard of care and improve the quality of life for the elderly and most vulnerable in my community.
