About Me

I have worked and studied within care for the past six years but was involved with personal care for relatives for many years prior to this. I chose to work in the care industry following my Nanna’s prolonged stay in hospital and seeing the excellent care that she was provided for many months following a planned heart operation. The care that she received opened my eyes to what working within the healthcare system could be like and I discovered that this was something that I was very passionate about.

My new role within Helping Hands allows me to teach others to ensure that customer safety is always a priority whilst still being able to keep my customers as independent as possible within their own homes.

Career Pathway

After completing my adult nursing degree, I started my career at Salford Royal hospital where I worked on an Acute Neurology unit. In this role, I gained an in-depth understanding of many neurological conditions such as epilepsy, MND and myasthenia gravis.

During the pandemic, I began working as acting unit manager and learned the key skills necessary to teach and lead a team. I was involved with CQC inspections, CHC reviews and gained a student mentorship qualification (MSLAP). During this role, I re-discovered my passion for teaching and trained up nursing assistants and new carers to ensure that they were competent and safe.

This led me to my new role within Helping Hands which allows me to teach others to ensure that customer safety is always a priority whilst still being able to keep my customers as independent as possible within their own homes.
