Scunthorpe is known as the “industrial garden town” and is the UK’s largest steel processing centre. It has a long history and appeared in the Domesday Book of 1086, however, really came into its own from the 1850s, thanks to the formation of the iron works. We understand rapid growth at Helping Hands as we started with one local branch in 1989 and now have 155, thanks to our exemplary visiting and live-in care services.

I began working in home care at 21, inspired by the amazing care my grandparents received. Over the years, I've advanced through the ranks, earning a Level 5 in social care. At Helping Hands, I ensure expert, personalized care for clients. Proud of my Doncaster team, we go above and beyond. I live in North Yorkshire with my partner and daughters, balancing life as a mum, branch manager, and weekend horse rider.

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.

Scunthorpe live-in care
With live-in care you get around the clock support with every aspect of your daily life, because our carers live with you in your own home. You never have to worry about being on your own again as you’ll have care whenever you need it, plus companionship when you want it. When you need a bit of time to yourself though your carer will undertake household tasks for you, meaning reassurance for both you and your loved ones that you’re being taken care of.
Better than a care agency in Scunthorpe
We’re better at what we do than an agency ever could be because we care so much about our customers and carers. We’d never expect our carers to be self-employed like some agencies do, and we’d never charge our customers hidden fees for ‘matching’ you with a carer or referring you to someone else. We’ve always been transparent about our services and that will never change.
Domiciliary care for help at home
Domiciliary care, or care at home, is a fantastic alternative to going into residential care, especially if you love your home and don’t want to leave it. When you need support at home, regardless of the complexity of your condition, our visiting and live-in care services can see carers come to you from as little as 30 minutes per week, so we have the flexibility and knowledge to devise a totally bespoke package of care for you.
Dementia care from our specialists

We’re a dementia specialist company with 36 years of experience supporting people living with dementia, so you can be confident in our ability to care for you to the highest standards.

Fully trained carers in Scunthorpe
Our carers are amazing at what they do; we value them highly because our thousands of customers wouldn’t get the support they need to live their best lives possible without them. We train them well when they join us, although there are qualities we insist on naturally, such as empathy and kindness. Because we’re fully regulated by the Care Quality Commission and Care Inspectorate Wales you can be confident in our high standards of care too.
