Kat Johns

Registered manager

I joined Calton House in April 2026 as Registered Manager. I bring 22 years of experience in health and social care, having started my career as a community care worker and progressed through roles including Team Leader and Registered Manager. Throughout my career, I have developed a strong skill set and a deep understanding of delivering high-quality, person-centred care.

I hold a Level 5 qualification in Health and Social Care, which supports my leadership and management practice within the sector.

I am passionate about ensuring that all clients receive the highest standard of care, promoting dignity, independence, and wellbeing at all times. I am committed to upholding and embedding Calton House’s vision by fostering a positive, supportive environment for both clients and staff, and by continuously striving for excellence in service delivery.

Steve Benney

Care Manager

Hi, I’m Steve, and I’m proud to step into the role of Care Manager after previously working as a Team Leader. I’m passionate about delivering person‑centred care and making sure every individual receives support that truly reflects their needs, choices, and goals.

Supporting the team is just as important to me. I believe in being approachable, encouraging, and working alongside staff to create a positive environment where everyone feels valued and confident in what they do.

Outside of work, I enjoy playing darts and I’m a devoted Arsenal supporter—always happy to chat about football!

Kat Paddington

Care Manager

Hi, I’m Kat. I’ve been part of Calton House since January 2024, starting as a Team Leader and now proudly serving as a Care Manager. I bring over 10 years’ experience in learning disabilities and complex care, and previously managed my own in‑house clinical care service.

I hold a degree in Combined Social Science, a Level 3 Diploma in Public Services, a Level 5 Diploma in Soft Tissue Therapy, and I’m currently completing my NVQ Level 4 in Adult Care.

One of the highlights of my role has been supporting our service users directly and helping turn their goals into reality. Now as part of the management team, I’m passionate about recognising staff achievements and carefully assessing potential new service users to ensure we offer the best possible support.

When I’m not at my desk, you’ll usually find me walking on the beach with my dog—probably listening to Elvis!

Mia Bridgen

Finance Administrator

I've been part of the company for many years, starting out as Office Administrator to later working as a Care Manager all through COVID before moving into Finance.

Today, I generate invoices, log all incoming payments and help keep the company running smoothly behind the scenes. Having grown with the business over the years I truly value being part of a close knit team and take pride in supporting the work we do every day for our wonderful clients."

Kate Crocker

Care Manager

I have worked for Calton House since February 2018, starting as a Support Worker before progressing to Team Leader and now Care Manager. I really enjoy working with the people we support and helping them to achieve their goals and wishes. Seeing them experience new things in life, with the encouragement and support of our amazing team, is incredibly rewarding.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, getting out for walks with my dog, and heading off for weekends away in my campervan.

Abbi Smith

Finance Administrator / corporate Appointee

I have been with the company for 10 years, beginning my journey as the youngest support worker at the time. As the organisation has grown, I’ve been fortunate to grow with it—transitioning into finance and now overseeing payroll, corporate appointeeship, and all financial operations. I’m incredibly proud of the path I’ve taken here, and it’s been a real privilege to work alongside such a dedicated team and be part of a company that truly makes a meaningful difference.

Hannah Smith

Training Co-ordinator / administrator

My name is Hannah Smith and I am the Training Co-ordinator/Administrator for Calton House. After leaving teaching in 2021, I joined Calton House first as a Support Worker and then moved into office administration. In my new role as Training Co-Ordinator, I hope that my previous skill and passion for education, will move forward into the sphere of training. I would like to bring new care industry trends and knowledge into support work by designing workshops and face to face training. My sense of humour, compassion and encouragement will hopefully enable my colleagues to see what the direct impact of skill improvement can bring into their job roles. 

When I'm not at work or pandering to the whims of a very demanding cat, I love listening to Rock music, watching Sci-Fi & Horror films and travelling around in our self built camper van.

I joined Calton House in 2024 bringing with me a wealth of Administration experience, I started my working life in a building company as a junior clerk/typist and have worked in the Print Industry and in a Solicitors office but working in the Care Industry is the most rewarding.

I enjoy working with my colleagues and meeting and greeting clients and visitors to Calton house.

When I’m not working I enjoy a good book and word and logic puzzles to keep my brain trained and my treadmill in the winter months is my Personal Trainer.
