Supported living in Hemsworth

It is my responsibility to ensure that our customers, staff and stakeholders receive a great experience from Helping Hands and that they also get the best care, support and service delivery possible.
I have always cared about people and had a passion from an early age to follow in the
footsteps of my mum to become a care/support worker after seeing the job satisfaction that working in care gave her.
I can't wait to start working with like-minded people whose passion is care and kindness to others; together we will deliver!
I love spending time with family and friends. I have a husband and a young son Kaya, who has Aspergers - he keeps me on my toes! I love cooking, especially for family and friends. My hobbies are swimming, reading, going out with friends and watching a good drama series.

I am currently the area care manager for North 1 region and I lead and inspire a fantastic team of branch managers who all share the same vision! We believe that life is better at home and we strive daily to make this happen and to offer our customers a five-star service.

We pride ourselves on our 'love our carers' mantra, and we know how important it is to give thanks and recognition to our front line workers. We are always learning and building upon our success.

I spend my spare time with my husband and my son; we enjoy family orientated activities as well as lots of sunny holidays!

My son has multiple disabilities and that is the main reason I chose the care sector as my vocation. I have utilised my own personal experience as I know first hand how important having the right care in place is, that is why my son is a customer of Helping Hands.

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.
