Palliative Care in Barnsley

I have worked in homecare for 8 years, but I have worked in the care sector for 15 years and in management for 8 years. I am proud to work for Helping Hands because I feel that I can help people to live well and support them with their choice of remaining in their own homes, with the excellent support provided by our team. I’m proud to be a part of such a great company and my team go above and beyond to provide the best care to our customers. I am a proud mom to five children and one stepdaughter so understandably with having such a large family, my hobbies are going on holidays and spending time with my family which I really enjoy.

I am currently the area care manager for North 1 region and I lead and inspire a fantastic team of branch managers who all share the same vision! We believe that life is better at home and we strive daily to make this happen and to offer our customers a five-star service.

We pride ourselves on our 'love our carers' mantra, and we know how important it is to give thanks and recognition to our front line workers. We are always learning and building upon our success.

I spend my spare time with my husband and my son; we enjoy family orientated activities as well as lots of sunny holidays!

My son has multiple disabilities and that is the main reason I chose the care sector as my vocation. I have utilised my own personal experience as I know first hand how important having the right care in place is, that is why my son is a customer of Helping Hands.

As the Divisional Director, it is my role to lead a hugely skilled care team operating in London, Essex and the South East, ensuring the highest levels of care are being delivered to our customers on a daily basis. We have a large branch network equipped to deal with all your hourly care needs, and I am also the Registered Manager with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) for our live-in program, where we are set up to support you on a more permanent basis.

I am inspired on a daily basis by the true lengths my colleagues go to, to ensure that customers can continue to live long, healthy lives from the comfort of their own homes. This is one of the main reasons that inspired me to join care.
