Meet the Stevenage care team
Branch Care Manager
My roles and responsibilities are to oversee the day-to-day running of the branch and to ensure we continue to deliver a high level of service to all. I was inspired to join the care industry because I saw how other people were making a difference to other people's lives and I knew that was something I wanted to do. I enjoy making people smile and making people's days that little bit brighter. Helping Hands deliver a high standard of support and all team members consistently show compassion, empathy and kindness whilst helping others. My team are highly motivated and show great understanding for other people's needs. I have always been a kind and compassionate person and truly found my calling when I joined the care industry. At each opportunity, I visit my grandparents in Norfolk and enjoy spending time with them.
