Kitt Kershaw

She/Her

Run Manager North Coast

Community Support Worker



I joined Riverside, because Riverside allows me to be myself and encourages me to make a difference within the care industry.

I am passionate about changing the narrative around mental health by showing that goals and aspirations can be achieved regardless.

In my personal time I love all things spooky! I enjoy spending time out in nature with my camera or simply at home with my husband and cats. 

People have described me as fun, loving and a little bit mad which I take as a compliment because "all the best people are"

Run Manager Falmouth

Community Support Worker

I’m originally from Sweden but now based in Cornwall with my partner and 5 year old daughter and 2 cats.  I love supporting people of all ages and have been for many years.

When I came across Riverside I really wanted to join as I admire their passion and great values.  A passion of mine is health and wellness.  To be able to support and coach people to find a healthier way of living , as we are all different with different needs and backgrounds.  We can always do smaller things to change our ways into a healthier direction for both body, mind and soul. sometimes we just need someone to talk to and get that support to actually take the first step and also to keep active.  With Riverside you can connect in a safe and comfortable way without feeling exposed or judged by anyone.

PA for Hannah and LIz

Hi there, I’m Anthony. I’m a young Cornish lad born and bred. I grew up in the fishing village of Flushing

and started working when I was 16. I have worked all over Cornwall doing various jobs, my first major job

being the manager of a local boat company. I lived outside of Cornwall for a little while doing a job as an

Executive PA for Babcock International based in Devonport but couldn't stay away too long! After

returning to Cornwall, I worked for the local harbour authorities before joining the Riverside family where I

assist in everything from Office administration to company software development. I’m a huge history nerd

and love reading when I’m not out on the water. I joined Riverside to be a part of an organisation that

really cares about its goals towards client care, where people are up for the challenge and there are

no half measures.

Hello im Amber i'm from Cornwall. In my spare time I love taking my dog out for walks and spending time with family. Prior to working with riverside I worked in hospitality but I felt like something was missing in that career. I couldn’t be happier that I made the decision to start working for riverside. I love working for riverside, I feel so lucky to be able to make people of all ages laugh and support them whilst also enabling them to be as independent as possible. I have never felt so much love, care, commitment and passion in a team before. Not only towards the clients but also to each other there’s so much support which allows us to work even better and spread the positivity and love!
