Hi, I’m Dean, and I’m now the Manager here at Tinkers Hatch. My journey in the care industry began at the age of 16, and I’ve been a part of the Tinkers Hatch family since 1998. I started as a support worker,  gained my Registered Managers Award and am now studying for my Senior Leader level 7 qualification. What I love most about my job is being able to support our clients through all stages of their lives. We celebrate their successes, offer comfort during difficult times, and build meaningful relationships with them and their families. The last five years have brought significant challenges, but I’m incredibly proud of the supportive environment we’ve created. We strive to offer a choice of home where individuals can decide their level of support, enjoy our beautiful rural setting, and find companionship or solitude as they wish. We’ve also built wonderful connections with the local community, including the East Hoathly Garden Project and Christchurch. Of course, paperwork is a necessary part of the job, but it makes the time I spend with our clients even more precious. At Tinkers Hatch, we believe everyone is unique and special, and we’re here to support each other.
Dean Webber (Manager)

I have over 25 years experience in the care industry, and started working at Tinkers hatch in 2003. I have my level 4 in adult social care and I am currently working towards my level 5 in leadership management in adult social care. I have a very strong passion towards ensuring those with learning disabilities are living fulfilling lives and can be the best version of themselves. That individuals are given choice, dignity and respect and treated with kindness. I very much enjoy the work I do, and feel extremely proud of the service and how happy the individuals and families are with the support we provide.
