Branch Care Manager
Hello, I'm Caitlin, Branch Care Manager of Helping Hands Durham Branch. As the Branch Care Manager, it is my responsibility to oversee the day to day running of our service in Durham, ensuring we are delivering safe, bespoke, and high-quality standards of care to our customers and their needs are being met at all times. It is also important that we ensure our carers feel supported and valued within their roles as without them we would not be the service we are today. It is important to me and my team to ensure we maintain the values of the company and always promote our customers independence to enable them to remain living within their own homes and for us to always strive to improve and develop the service we provide. In my spare time I love to spend quality time with my partner and my fur baby Obee - 1 going on walking adventures. I also like to travel the world and learn about new cultures and their ways of living. Some of my favourite places that I have travelled to are America, Australia, Thailand, St Lucia, Fiji, Dubai, Dominican Republic, and numerous Cities across Europe.

Other care we provide
High quality home care in Bishop Auckland
With home care, you’ll be able to continue living in the comfortable, familiar surroundings of your own home whilst receiving the specialist day-to-day support you need to maintain your preferred lifestyle and routines.
Our wonderful carers can provide a wide range of care services to help you out around the home – whether you need continence support, mobility assistance, help with personal hygiene routines, someone to help with housekeeping, support with a complex medical condition, or just about anything else.
We specialise in meaningful, person-centred home care for people with varying types and levels of needs. This might range from someone popping in during the week to check up on a loved one and make them a cuppa, to providing specialist care for a loved one with advanced dementia or cancer.
24/7 live in care support
Our Bishop Auckland team offer home care on both a visiting and live-in basis. Live-in care is ideal for anyone who is currently receiving visiting care but would now benefit from a more round-the-clock support solution. You’ll need to provide your live-in carer with their own room, so that they can stay with you and offer proactive support throughout the night as well as during the daytime.
Why Helping Hands is better than a care agency in Bishop Auckland
Helping Hands are a private care provider, rather than a care agency. We employ all of our carers directly, and always will, because we value the peace of mind this gives our customers. Many care agencies don’t employ their own carers, which means the customer ends up having to handle payments and deal with lots of fiddly paperwork.
We believe that providing the best care possible includes looking after your carer and removing as many burdens from you as we can, and our customers truly appreciate this. We’ll also make sure that even if your scheduled carer is taken ill or needs a break, you’ll have a replacement carer visit at the times you like.
Qualified carers providing a variety of care services in Bishop Auckland
When you choose care from Helping Hands, you can be confident you’ll be receiving support from the very best carers in the UK. We’re extremely selective about who we recruit to our care team in Bishop Auckland – we only hire people who share our company-wide family values, and who are passionate about providing genuinely transformative care to people who need it.
Every Helping Hands carer has undergone numerous background checks, as we want to ensure they’ll be a perfect fit for us and for you or your loved one. Then, when they start with us, all carers enrol on our comprehensive, industry-leading training and assessment programme, which includes modules on dementia care, mobility assistance, moving and handling, first aid, and so much more.
