Meet the Head Office Team at Sonder Home Care

  • Damien Portrait

    Damien, Owner

    Hi I’m Damien! I’ve had the privilege of being the owner of Sonder Home Care for almost 10 years, and it has been an incredibly rewarding journey.

    Over the years, we have supported so many wonderful local residents, each with their own remarkable histories, stories and experiences. It is a real privilege to play a part in helping people remain safe, comfortable and supported in their own homes.

    I’m incredibly proud of the Sonder team and the compassionate care they provide every day.

  • John Portrait

    John, Operations Manager

    Hello, I’m John. As Operations Manager, my role is to oversee the day-to-day running of Sonder Home Care, working closely with our owner, Damien, and the wider team.

    I joined Sonder in 2020, shortly before the start of the pandemic, after coming from a different sector. It was certainly a steep learning curve, but one that quickly showed me just how special this team is.

    I feel very fortunate to work alongside such dedicated people, all of whom go the extra mile every day to support our clients, families and carers.

  • Elly Portrait

    Elly, Client Liaison Manager

    I’ve been part of the Sonder team for 8 years, starting in a caring role before moving into my current position supporting families as they explore care options for their loved ones.

    My role is to meet with prospective clients and their families, listen to what matters most to them, and help find the best care solution for their individual needs.

    I love my job because I get to work with an amazing team every day, all dedicated to improving the lives of people in our local community.

    I have worked with Sonder for nearly 6 years, starting as a carer and loving the job from day one. I now work as a Client Experience Manager, a role I have held since 2022.

    My role involves completing care and risk assessments, as well as creating care plans for clients to ensure they receive the right level of support to remain living independently.

    I am lucky enough to work with an amazing office team and our wonderful carers, and I could not be happier to be part of Sonder.

    I enjoy working for Sonder because supporting local residents and knowing we make a difference in their daily lives is such a pleasure. Helping people continue living safely and comfortably in their own homes is incredibly rewarding.

    My role involves training and coaching new starters, as well as supporting and mentoring our current care staff through spot checks and regular supervisions.

    I truly enjoy being part of the office team and working alongside such dedicated colleagues. It is wonderful to end my working day knowing that I have made a real difference in someone’s life.

    I love being part of a team where kindness, compassion and genuine connection are at the centre of everything we do.

    Attending events and spending time with clients continually reminds me why this job matters. Every story and image reflects the trust, kindness and impact of our team. Through authentic, thoughtful content, I aim to help families feel informed, reassured and supported in their care journey.
