Meet some of our wonderful carers
Meet Natasha - one year in domiciliary care
I wanted to work in care to help make a difference to other people’s lives, especially helping to promote their independence in and out of the home. I’ve been working in care for a year. I worked in a care home in South Africa, and I’ve also worked as a dispensing assistant at a pharmacy. My favourite thing about working in care is helping people, making a difference in people’s lives.
Meet Sharon - 12 years in domiciliary care
I got into the care sector after I took care of my mum and sister who both passed away from medical conditions. It gave me valuable experience and made me realise how much I love helping others. I’ve been working in care for 12 years. My favourite thing about working in care is making people feel appreciated.
Meet Harbinder - 25 years in care, 4 years with us
I’m from Shrewsbury and have been working in the care sector for more than 25 years and have gained both professional and personal experiences as a carer. This makes me fully appreciate the importance of also supporting my customer’s family during what can be a difficult period. I feel privileged to have supported people with a variety of care needs during my career.
Meet Eva - eight years as a live-in carer with us
Caring for others is extremely rewarding and gives me a deep sense of fulfilment. I am keen to bring happiness and joy to my customers’ lives by providing them with quality support, care and companionship. As a carer I will always ensure that my customers are treated with respect and dignity. Before I became a carer I worked as a private English teacher.
