Supported living in Hemel Hempstead

I've been the Branch Care Manager at Helping Hands since July, with over nine years of experience in health and social care, including as a Registered Care Manager. My focus is on delivering person-centred care in a safe, supportive environment. I'm committed to high standards, continuous improvement, and regulatory compliance, building strong relationships with service users, families, and staff to foster trust, excellence, and a culture of outstanding care.

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.
