Respite care in Surrey

Hi, I'm Michelle. I am an experienced care manager and director with over 22 years' experience in the care profession. In my spare time, I love to travel overseas, go for long walks with my dog, dine out and cook. I enjoy entertaining and event organising, and spending time with my grandchildren.

My main roles and responsibilties as Area Care Manager are to oversee and improve the running of the branches within the South West. I am responsible for ensuring that our clients and carers are kept safe, and that the service we are providing is of high quality.
I have always had a passion in caring for others. The term 'caring' for me has never been about rushing in and helping someone to get washed and dressed. For me it's about making a positive impact to someone else' s life; helping them achieve what they want, and enabling them to remain independent at home in the place that means the most to them.
The care we provide at Helping Hands is of such high quality, and I truly believe that if my parents required care, Helping Hands would be the first I would contact. The carers always go over and above to ensure the clients are happy, and as an area care manager that's certainly one thing I can say I am proud of. It' s clear that all of us at Helping Hands live, sleep and breath the culture and we love what we do.

Hi, I'm Adam and as Divisional Director, I'm responsible for making sure that all the customers we help are looked after brilliantly. In order to do this, we need to have the very best carers and support teams there for them so that they can thrive within Helping Hands and do what they do best: care. I think we do everything possible to really understand our customers' needs and then do everything possible to find the right carer for them. Our carers do a wonderful job, and they are special people who are 'hardwired' to care.
