Elderly care in Clacton-on-Sea

As a Branch Manager for Helping Hands, I ensure my branch runs safely for customers and carers. I love helping people stay in their homes. Inspired by my mum, a carer, I began my care journey 20 years ago after seeing the joy she brought to residents. In my spare time, I cherish creating memories with my family. I started in care 15 years ago after seeing the difference my mum made as a carer when I was a child. I used to visit the homes she worked in and it brought joy to the residents.
I have been with my branch of Helping Hands in Colchester since it opened, and I have a wonderful team - many who have been here since the beginning. I could not do my job effectively without my carers, they are superstars!
In my spare time I like to spend time with my family and my young children.

Hi, I am Christien Ingrosso and I'm the Area Care Manager for the South East region.
As an area care manager, it is my role to lead a team of dedicated care experts in and around the London, Essex and South East region to ensure that the service and care we are delivering is to the highest possible standard for all our customers.

I am married and a father of two girls. I enjoy very much spending time with my family and going on walks with my dog, or as some may say he likes to walk me!

I have been fortunate enough to meet some fantastic employees throughout my time at Helping Hands. Each day I witness first-hand the determination and drive that each and all of our carers show to help our customers maintain healthy and independent lives in the familiar surroundings of their own homes.

As the Regional Care 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.
