Cruise Ship to Care Home with Sam Allen
Meet Sam Allen! Sam is the Head of Lifestyles at our Hyllden Heights Care Home in Kent. Prior to working in the care industry, Sam pursued a career as a professional singer. She began singing at the age of 18 after completing her studies in musical theatre at college.
Sam then embarked on a journey working on cruise ships and superyachts as a stewardess, singer, and entertainer, sailing around the world and performing classical opera and arias to passengers of all ages.
This episode explores Sam’s transition from the entertainment industry to Social Care and sheds light on the misconceptions surrounding the transferability of skills from one industry to another. Sam also talks about all the wonderful activities she and her team provide for the residents at Hyllden Heights.
