Meet the Weybridge Team
The SmartCare team is dedicated to providing a professional service to all clients, fulfilling their care needs to the highest possible standard. At SmartCare we believe our care workers are the most important part of our business. All our staff are DBS checked and all undergo a psychometrical test to show up those who have the strengths needed for effective care work. Our care workers are chosen for their experience, cheerful disposition, attention to detail, reliability and dedication to the special needs of our clients. In line with government legislation, all care workers are being trained or qualified to NVQ2/QCF2 and above. They are encouraged to attend courses specialising in Alzheimer’s, Dementia, Stroke and Learning Disabilities, Diabetes and End of Life to help them understand what is needed to meet peoples needs. All of our candidates must also supply appropriate references, which are checked thoroughly before they are taken into our employ.

Alex is originally from Cape Town and is a founder member of a number of successful advertising agencies in South Africa. He is a great believer in fair business procedures, impeccable ethics and value for money.
Alex became interested in the care industry after seeing the devastation caused when his own father was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease and the need for a high standard of care within the vulnerable community.
