"Originally from Chile, I moved to the UK in 1985. Over the years, I've worked as a technician, and franchise owner, and completed a Diploma in Business from the University of Bedfordshire in 1992. In 1994, my spouse Clare and I founded ENA Care Group Ltd, inspired by our personal caregiving experiences. I further enhanced my qualifications with a Master’s in Business Administration in 2001.
​
At ENA Care Group Ltd, I've held several key roles, including finance and Registered Manager. I've also been actively involved in charity, serving as Company Secretary and Treasurer for organisations such as the Anglo-Chilean Society and the Anglo-Latin-American Foundation, among others. My public service includes 12 years as a local Councillor, overseeing finance, planning, and human resources committees.
Additionally, I've been an England Volleyball Association Referee and was honoured with the Freedom of the City of London in 2014. I am a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts and a proud father of seven, with seven amazing grandchildren."

Registered Manager
Clare Duran
Co-founder and owner of the ENA Care Group. I am an active director overseeing both the service delivered to clients and carers and the home-care team. I've been back since March 2012, after taking a ridiculously long maternity break. I jump at any opportunity to get back into uniform and brush up on my nursing skills. My role in the company is all about the service we deliver to both our clients and carers. I have a dream to become the best home-care provider in the UK and I spend most of my time troubleshooting and searching for ways to improve.
​
My favourite part of the job is visiting and speaking to clients and carers alike. If you would like a visit or a call, please drop me an email.

Care Manager
Nathalie Rabbich
"Hi! I’m Nathalie, and I live in Cheltenham.
I graduated as a Registered Nurse in 2017, and worked as a District Nurse before joining the wonderfully supportive ENA team as a Care Manager in July 2024.
Seven years of working with patients in a community setting means that I have a thorough understanding of how clients can live happily and healthily in their own homes, and I hope to bring this knowledge to my exciting new role, to ensure our clients receive the highest level of support tailored to their needs.
When I’m not working, you can probably find me either singing at karaoke, trying to make friends with the nearest dog, or correcting someone on the spelling of my name."

"Hiya, my name is Kaylin. I'm originally from sunny South Africa, where I completed an Honours degree in sociology and labour relations. I immigrated 3.5 years ago to pursue my dreams of creating a fulfilling life in the UK. My South African upbringing has instilled in me a high level of motivation and resilience, which has driven my success in the recruitment field.

Trainer
Kirsty Grogan
"I joined ENA in October 2020 as a training consultant, before this I worked in the sector for 10 years. I worked my way up from a domiciliary carer to a manager, from there I found my passion for teaching and became a trainer in the care sector. This combined both my passion for care and teaching others.
​
What I love most about my role is that I can utilise the skills I learned as a carer in the learning environment and help stretch and challenge learners to develop their own knowledge, skills and confidence in their role. Working at ENA has been an amazing journey so far and that's a testament to the amazing people in my team. I can't wait to see where my career takes me from here."
Trainer
Billy Bola
My Name is Billy - As an assessor and IQA with over 15 years of experience in the field of clinical care, I have honed my skills and knowledge to become a valuable asset in the healthcare industry. My extensive experience in domiciliary, nursing, and hospital environments has given me a deep understanding of the challenges and opportunities that come with providing care to patients in various settings.
When I joined ENA in March 2024, I was excited to have the opportunity to share my expertise and impact knowledge among the care staff. I believe that continuous learning and development are essential in ensuring that healthcare professionals can deliver the highest quality of care to their patients. Through my role as an assessor and IQA, I have been able to help care staff improve their skills and knowledge, ultimately enhancing the level of care they provide.
​
My qualifications speak to my dedication to continuous learning and professional development. I have acquired a range of qualifications, including the Assessor award, Internal Quality Nominee, BSc in chemical science, MBA in administration, L5 leadership and management in care and young people services.

Trainer
Daisy Dartnell
"I started working as a training coordinator for ENA in June 2020. I began my career in health and social care by chance. I was young and volunteered at my local charity store to enable individuals who were living with a learning disability to achieve a paid role through the adapted training I provided them. I dedicated the next ten years to gaining knowledge, and skills, and experiencing every side of social care — from supported living, and learning disabilities to substance misuse, and of course my favourite subject Dementia.
​
I now get to support individuals not only gain the skills to provide quality care, but I also get to see the impact their care has on the individual they care for. I like to engage care staff to acknowledge the importance and value of their role as well as giving them the skills and confidence needed to provide the outstanding care ENA delivers."
