Branch Care Manager
I have worked in care for over seven years starting as from NHS I had the opportunity to work in West Middlesex hospital and Chelsea and Westminster hospital as booking coordinator. From there I progressed to Mihome care as a senior care coordinator managing 80 carers and overseeing 2000 weekly hours for Kensington and Chelsea Branch. This experience provided me with a unique perspective on the health care industry emphasising the importance of efficient coordination and compassionate patient care. In my role as a client liaison coordinator at Draycott Nursing and Care, I had the privilege of being at the fourth front of fostering positive relationships between our clients and carers. One of my key responsibilities were supporting new client enquiries, where I ensured that individuals and families received comprehensive information about our services addressing concerns with empathy and expertise. I also gained experience working closely with our clinical nurse team gaining valuable insights into the healthcare aspects of the service. I have been a Service Delivery Manager in Sugarman Health - Watford and Birmingham Branch leading 5000 hours service for the Complex care team During my tenure as a Service Delivery Manager at Sugarman Health, I had the opportunity to make a significant impact on our organization’s operations and client services across multiple branches, particularly in Watford and Birmingham. Managing an extensive workload of 5000 hours spread across 9 territories, including regions such as Midlands, North Hampshire, Essex, Hertfordshire, Surrey, and London, provided me with invaluable experience in overseeing diverse and complex care requirements. A key aspect of my role involved leading a dedicated team of care coordinators and field care supervisors. Through effective leadership and strategic planning, I ensured seamless coordination between our office staff and caregivers in the field. By fostering a collaborative and supportive environment, I empowered my team to deliver high-quality care services, tailored to the unique needs of our clients in each territory. Additionally, I played a vital role in supporting our service office by facilitating the acquisition of new care packages, contributing to the growth and sustainability of our business. My ability to establish and maintain positive relationships within the local community allowed me to work closely with community groups, building partnerships that benefited both our clients and our organization. This collaborative approach not only enhanced our service delivery but also reinforced our commitment to the communities we served. During my time as a care manager at Curacare I took on different approaches to ensure the growth of the business one of my key strategies involved actively engaging with the local community, forging partnerships, and building strong relationships within our immediate vicinity. I did this by understand the unique needs of the local community I was able to tailor our services to meet the specific requirements of our clients.

Home care in Brent
-
Since 1989, we have been supporting people to live safely and independently in their own homes and enabling them to live the life they want to lead. And that’s exactly what the home care team in Brent are able to do for you – from helping you get dressed in the morning, making your breakfast and doing the washing up, to taking you to the shops to get your weekly groceries and keeping you company in the afternoons.
Here at Helping Hands, we recognise that visiting care is much more than just helping with the practicalities; it’s about providing emotional support and companionship so that you never have to feel alone. So, if you’d just like someone to pop in twice a week and have a cup of tea with you, we can do just that.
-
Extra support with live-in care
-
More people than ever are now opting for live-in care as a direct alternative to moving into a nursing home, the reason being that you receive one-to-one, bespoke support when you need it. And there’s no need to leave your home comforts behind and become stressed with the upheaval of moving; you can stay at home, in the place you know and love, surrounded by your treasured possessions, partner and pets.
Our live-in carers work closely with our clinical nurse teams so that then can fully support those with more complex health needs, such as:
- Tracheostomies
- PEG or NG feeding
- Stoma and catheter care
- Ventilated care
So, even if you need 24-hour care or are unable to mobilise by yourself, we’ll put the right support in place so that you have peace of mind that all of your requirements will be taken care of.
-
Expert support and dementia care for your loved ones
-
With over 50% of our customers living with some form of dementia, we have lots of experience in supporting those with the condition and enabling them to live their life to the fullest. Whether your loved one has vascular dementia or Alzheimer’s, we’ll get to know them, their routine and some of their life history so that we can support them through different phases of the condition and live with them in their ‘reality’.
As well as ensuring all of our carers have detailed training on dementia, we are also closely aligned with the Dementia Action Alliance, who provide the latest practices in dementia care.
-
Elderly care for extra peace of mind
-
Whether you live close to your elderly parents or relatives or at the other end of the country, it’s often quite a worry when you know that they need extra support, but that you’re too far away to visit them. That’s where the team in Brent can help. They’ll take any concerns you have and make sure your loved one has exactly the right type of support suited for them.
Elderly care doesn’t mean that we take over and do absolutely everything for your loved one; we’ll work with them to create a support plan tailored to their needs – whether that’s taking them to Queen’s Park Farmers’ Market every Sunday or helping them take the bins out once a week.
-
Short-term breaks with respite care
-
If your regular caregiver needs time to rest and recuperate or if you want to enjoy a holiday together without worrying about your care needs, respite care is a great solution when you need quality care at short notice. It also allows you to both have a real break whilst being able to relax, knowing that all of your care needs are being looked after.
Respite care may also be suitable for you if there’s a family party or event that you need to attend but are unable to do so unaided. We’ll be there every step of the way and even accompany you to and from the venue, so you have the care you need for the entire time.
-
Fully-trained carers in Brent
-
The most important quality that we look for when recruiting carers is that they are empathetic and have a natural ability to help others, regardless of their previous care experience both professionally or personally. Alongside this, all of our carers are fully trained by our in-house instructors, so that they are equipped with the right skills they need out in the field. Our award-winning training covers first aid, moving and handling, health and safety, dementia, personal care and medication, amongst other modules.
As with all other regulated care providers, we are closely monitored by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), who regularly inspect our whole service – from the safety and responsiveness of our carers, to our leadership teams and service offering as a whole. This ensures that we are providing consistent, industry-regulated care to all of our customers, but are also looking after our staff too.
