Mariama Tawiah

Mariama began her career in healthcare in 2013, and after working one of her first agency shifts at Bridge House, she immediately knew it was where she wanted to build her career. She officially joined the home in 2016 and has since progressed through several roles, becoming Senior Carer, completing her Nursing Apprenticeship Diploma and graduating as a Nursing Assistant. She later completed the Carebase Management Academy and became Acting Deputy Manager before returning to her role as Head of Care and Dementia in 2024.

Mariama has an important role at Bridge House, supporting residents living with dementia while guiding the care team and working closely with families and healthcare professionals. She loves the strong sense of community at the home and believes that even the smallest gestures can make a meaningful difference to someone's day.

Outside of work, Mariama enjoys spending time with her family and child, socialising with friends, travelling and learning new things.

"For me, care is about making people feel safe, respected, valued and understood. Sometimes a kind word, a smile or simply taking the time to listen can make all the difference."
