Meet the King's Lynn care team
Branch Care Manager
Hi, I am the Branch Manager in the Fakenham branch of Helping Hands. My job is to provide a team of well trained and professional carers. These carers provide excellent support to people wanting to remain living independently and safely in their own homes. With the help of a Care Coordinator and Care and Training Practitioner we provide a tailor-made service to customers that is regularly reviewed and altered as changes in need determine. I have worked in care, in various settings since I left school. It was a job I quickly fell in love with and I have never looked back. I could be quoted as telling people constantly that this is the best job in the world. I know this area really well. I live here with my husband and two dogs. We all love living so close to the seaside and we do lots of walking on the beach and swimming in the sea.
