Meet the Phoenix Team

In 2019, I was appointed General Manager at Phoenix Support, concurrently assuming the roles of Registered Manager. Since then, our organisation has maintained an exemplary record with no failed contract reports or CQC inspection issues. We have firmly established ourselves as the leading mental health support provider in the area, with growing community backing. I continue to oversee payroll and accounts while seeking new work opportunities and commissioning partnerships. Our management structure has recently been revised, and we are in the process of phasing these changes in alongside forthcoming contract relets and organisational restructuring.

My name is Samantha Read, and I am the deputy manager for domiciliary care. I joined the company in 2025, however I have worked within the care sector for over 19 years. I started my career by becoming a support worker at weekends, I then progressed to supervisor, then to office admin, care co-ordinator, staff training, and then to deputy manager. Now as a deputy manager I am responsible for ensuring that our service users receive the correct level of care and support required for their individual needs. I complete assessments and regular care reviews to ensure that the individuals need continue to be met. I support our staff to ensure that our service users are receiving the best level of care and support, enabling them to live their life’s the way they want to live.

My name is Rebecca Ablitt, though most call me Bex. I joined the company in 2015 as a team leader supporting adults with learning disabilities, focusing on person-centered care and helping them live independently.

I later trained in mental health and became a certified counsellor, providing support to staff. I also led a hostel assisting those with substance abuse and mental health challenges - which propelled me to service manager.

Now, as Deputy Manager, I oversee service users and housing operations, ensure safety, and am always ready to support staff, celebrating each service user’s progress.
