Meet some of our valuable team

All our carers are valued and respected and key to the delivering a high service of care to our service users. All are hand-picked and endure a strict recruitment process that involves interviews, POVA and CRB clearance and a vigilant reference procedure. We only recruit carers we would have in our home.

Loga Care carers are all fully inducted and trained on the Loga Care training programme. In addition to this, Loga Care are privileged to employ carers who have achieved NVQ level 2 or above and are supporting others through the ‘Skills for Care’ government programme of care and the NVQ educational achievement programme.

To support our team of carers, we have a highly qualified and efficient management team. You can get to know a little more about them by reading their profiles below:

Natalie Ranger–Sizeland - Registered Manager/Founder/RGN

The concept for Loga Care came from Natalie’s passion for providing high quality care within the community, enabling people to remain in their own home.  This was first highlighted to Natalie on her community placement when she qualified as a Registered General Nurse. Natalie observed the positive influence being cared for in their own environment with one to one attention had on vulnerable adults.  After further discussion and research, over a few years with David and James’ input Loga Care was born with a mission statement of:-
‘To provide a service of excellence to our Service Users and Care Workers.’

As a Registered General Nurse Natalie brings the medical experience and knowledge to her role as Loga Care Registered Manager, this is further supported by a BA/BSC in Business Studies and over 8 years of working as a Specialised Headhunter in London.

Natalie married James in 2004, moved to Hampshire and is the mother to three boys (one baby boy recently welcomed) who now answer the phone ‘Loga Care how can I help?’!

Natalie is fully committed to ensuring the vision of Loga Care is met, supporting all Carers and Clients, developing the business and managing office staff. If you have any questions or queries Natalie will be delighted to talk through with you any issues for Clients and Carers.

James Sizeland - Founder/Training Manager

James successfully worked for 8 years in London in Banking, and IT Sales specialising in emerging technologies. James left this arena to co-found Loga Care with Natalie; he shares her passion for providing high quality care within the community, enabling people to remain in their own home.  Amongst James responsibilities are all training matters, including the Skills for Care programme, NVQ programme, manual handling issues and Induction training programme. Business Development and Care Management issues factor high on James daily activities. James has a BA Economics from his youth and is now also a qualified First Aid trainer, Manual Handling Assessor and trainer.

James loves playing cricket with his two boys and can often be found at the bottom of a children’s rugby scrum in the lounge in the evening.

David Ranger - Director

David has over 20 years of entrepreneurial experience successfully operating and diversifying a number of businesses. Fortunately he reached the opportunity to step back from this role on a daily basis and chose to complete a BA/Diploma Social Work at Southampton University. This enabled him to work as a Social Worker and Team Manager in the Hampshire Region. Whilst in this role David observed the benefits of Live-in care and became passionate that a higher quality service could be provided that was more bespoke, personalised and be care managed and monitored more effectively.

His ideas and business acumen contributed to the founding of Loga Care and since joining as a Director of Loga Care, he daily influences the development of the Loga Care service. Most recently in expanding Loga Care services to enable us to offer a ‘Before Discharge Home Preparation Service’. David’s wealth of experience and knowledge benefits both Loga Care and the clients we serve and carers we employ.

Taryke J Van Rensburg - Manager/Trainer

Taryke was born in Johannesburg, South Africa and moved to England in February last year. Taryke came to England with a desire to forge a career to work hard and learn about business.

Loga Care first employed Taryke as a Carer working on a fortnightly rota. After 6 months of very hard work and commitment Taryke approached Loga Care seeking a new opportunity and a career path into management. Loga Care offered Taryke the role of Junior Care Manager and the opportunity to use his experience to support other carers from overseas,  to care manage clients, to develop into the training arena, having achieved a pass mark of 98% for his moving and handling assessor course.  He is now completing his NVQ and to compliment his work Taryke is undertaking his Open University Business Management degree. All this leaves little time for his main passion of Rugby.
