Home care in Didcot
Visiting care and home care in Didcot
Despite coming into its own as a Victorian railway town and the land around modern-day Didcot being inhabited for at least 9000 years, the area has as much to offer the future as it does the past, thanks to several large science and technology centres nearby.

Area Care Manager
I lead and support the fantastic team of branches and carers in and around the Bristol and Cotswolds area. I joined the care industry to help make a positive difference to those people that use our services and support my team to do the same. I am proud of the service we offer and of my team that deliver them. Oustide of work I provide a taxi service to my two teenage boys, and enjoy watching most sports. My background has predominantly been in retail, with my previous role working in the charity sector. I have also spent some time working in education, providing training for school governors and playing an active role in improving standards in a local school as Chair of Governors. I have been an area manager for fifteen years, leading teams to deliver company expectations across all aspects of the business.

Why Helping Hands is better than a care agency in Didcot
Care agencies are not all the same – in fact some agencies are not agencies at all! Helping Hands has never been a care agency, instead we’re a private home care company and have been since we began. This makes a difference because care agencies don’t employ their carers directly, leaving you to sort out payment and employment legalities when you should be concentrating on living well. They’ll also expect you to pay a fee to be ‘matched’ with a suitable carer, when this should all be part of the service. However, you’ll be glad to know that all of this comes as standard with Helping Hands, and so much more.
Qualified carers providing a variety of care services in Didcot
Our carers are very special people, and we look after them as well as they look after you. They’re the beating heart of Helping Hands which is why we ensure they’re fully supported at all times through skills updates, development opportunities, and employment perks. We build on their existing knowledge and ensure they receive all they’ll need to look after their customers superbly. In addition, we’re so proud that many of our managers began as carers with us, proving that if we nurture talent, people will want to remain with us.
