Branch Care Manager
As a Branch Care Manager my roles and responsibilities are to ensure we are delivering a safe and effective service, that we are complying with all CQC guidance and all current regulations to offer a 5-star service. I believe everyone deserves to have the best care to meet their needs and at Helping Hands we offer person-centred care packages to suit your needs. My team of carers will provide you with the support you require and will go above and beyond for their customers. This shows in the feedback we receive, and we praise our carers for their commitment. I have 3 children and have lived in Yorkshire for 21 years, although I was born and raised near London. I volunteer in my spare evenings and weekends for a local swimming club where two of my children swim competitively. When I am not managing a team of carers I manage a team of swimmers to complete their goals and achievements.

We offer high-quality live-in, visiting and respite care for whenever you need us. With over 150 branches across the UK and over 35 years of experience, it’s safe to say we’re well experienced in providing healthcare support. We’re high quality because of our range of specialised approaches to care and our adaptability. We can offer condition-led care to support anything from dementia, cancer, strokes, Parkinson’s and Downe’s syndrome, among much more. Our visiting care starts from just 30 minutes a week to up to 5 weeks, and our respite care is designed if you need short-term, temporary care at your home.
24/7 live-in care support
Our live-in care might be for you if you need full-time support, 24/7. Our carers are experts at helping you out with any tasks you may need an extra hand with like housekeeping, cleaning, preparing healthy meals, and running errands. We can even help with grocery shopping and help walk your dog around Waltham Abbey if needed. While our carers are superb at the day-to-day things, they’re also expertly qualified to handle more medically complex care. Our nursing care can offer support with catheter and stoma care, ventilation care, and NIPPY and PEG feeding, amongst others. They are trained by NHS nurses in the best practices for care and can look after you just as a care home would.

Our carers can also help you with personal care like bathing, dressing, grooming and toileting. We can help create a daily routine for you that can include exercises to help with mobility and help get you out and about in the Waltham Abbey community.
