Regional Care Director
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.

Other care we provide
Home care London - bespoke care to suit you
Since 1989, we have paved the way in providing the very best home care services and continue to do so today. Our expertise lies in our ability to tailor care that suits your needs and routines, and enable you to remain independent within the comforts of your own surroundings.
With thorough in-house training for every single one of our carers, we’re equipped to deal with a variety of conditions – whether you’re just starting university and need mobility support to get to and from campus, or if you’re struggling to complete of all your housework due to your Parkinson’s diagnosis – we’re here to help.
We offer anything from 30 minutes a week to routinely calling several times a day. Whether you need support with your mobility while you go about your daily life, assistance in getting dressed and ready for the day or just a friendly face to pop in for a cup of tea and a chat – we’re here to give you the support you need, when you need it.
Being a carer for a loved one is one of the most rewarding jobs there is, but there is also sometimes the need to have a quick break to recharge your batteries, benefitting both of you. To ensure that disruption remains minimal, our team can deliver respite care that will replicate your existing routines. Respite care is also a suitable option for those recovering after being discharged from hospital and who need a short-term package of care at home.
It’s not just the practicalities that we’ll take care of; emotional health is just as important for your well-being. So if it’s a trip to Victoria Park for some fresh air or going to Westfield for a cup of coffee and a mooch around the shops, we’ll be there to accompany you.
Live-in care - supporting your needs
Moving into residential care can create stress and anxiety that could be immediately alleviated by live in care services from Helping Hands. Living with you in your home, we can be there whenever you need us without the need for sticking to strict times for meals, visits and activities.
We’ll get to know you and your preferences, including finding the perfect live-in carer that complements your personality and likes. Whether you’re a die-hard Tottenham football supporter or prefer discussing the latest Royal Family updates, we’ll work with you to find someone that is just right.
Equipped with the knowledge and skills needed to care for anything from PEG feeding or stoma care, to more complex conditions such as neurological or spinal injuries, our expert team of clinicians oversee all of our nursing care services who work with our live in carers to meet your care needs.

Private care in London
When you use a private care provider in London such as Helping Hands, you’ll receive a package of care that is completely tailored to your individual needs and preferences. Private care gives you the ability to determine the type of care you receive, as well as how often one of our carers visits your home. It also gives you more freedom over smaller details that might still be important to you, such as meal preferences and bedtimes.
Being in control of your care plan means you won’t have to worry about ever being left unsupported in your home, giving you the independence and confidence to maintain your favourite hobbies and routines. With our dedicated care plans ranging from just one 30 minute visit a week all the way up to 24-hour live-in care, our team of highly-trained, compassionate carers are ready to help you around the home in whatever way you need.
The difference between Helping Hands and a care agency in London
We understand how much there is to consider when selecting the right type of care for yourself or a loved one. There are probably lots of different decisions you’re having to make and the last thing you want to do is worry about additional paperwork and managing a contract with a carer, which is what you would have to do if you chose a care agency in London.
Instead, home care from Helping Hands will take all of the stress and anxiety out of this difficult time for you, managing the entire process of care from when a local care manager comes to meet you at home, to selecting the right carers for you and ensuring there is always support for you regardless of any changing needs or if your carer is unavailable.
As one of the most established care providers in the UK, we know what it takes to train carers to an exceptional standard, enabling you to receive the very best care. With all training completed in-house, we deliver induction and refresher training covering manual handling, first aid, dementia, safeguarding, medication and health & safety.
All of our carers receive full background checks – including Disclosure Barring Service (DBS) screening – and are employed directly by us, taking the stress out of any paperwork or procedures you may have experienced with previous care providers.
Fully licensed by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), we adhere to strict guidelines and regulations to ensure we meet the highest of standards within the care industry. We’re also the first and only home care provider to be recognised as a Centre of Excellence by Skills for Care, which we are extremely proud of.
