Visiting care expertise
Meet some of our dedicated carers
We place a lot of importance on finding the best carers for our customers.
Every single moment of care has the opportunity to change someone’s life for the better, which is why we place so much importance on finding and training the very best carers and carefully managing the full process for our customers.
Choosing Helping Hands for your home care means you’ll benefit from our 35 years of experience in providing quality care at home. With over 150 branches across England and Wales, we have trained and experienced carers and specialists near you. Our local visiting carers are wonderful people who make each and every day count for their customers.
Why our carers are simply the best
While the wealth of skills and experience that our carers have is key, what makes the real difference are their personalities and characters.
Each and every one of our carers is passionate about the people they support within their local communities, and fully committed to providing you with the very best possible care, with dignity, respect and compassion.
Our customers love our carers because they are:
Expertly trained and fully vetted
Every carer is fully DBS-checked and receives our industry-renowned training which equips them to provide a wide range of specialist care services
Directly employed by us
Directly employed by us, every visiting carer also receives ongoing personal development and support from their locally based manager
Selectively recruited
The selection process for visiting carers involves background checks, interview stages, and practical, on-the-job training from our experts
Supported by us
We support every carer to pursue excellence and follow a career in care, including achieving industry-recognised carer qualifications
Find out more about our visiting carers
We believe it takes a truly kind and compassionate person to be a great carer.
Our visiting carers have the training, expertise and experience to support people with one-to-one care within their own homes. Hear from one of our carers, Sadie, as she shares what her roles mean to her and how she’s able to particularly help one of her customers, Oscar, to continue living life on his own terms.
Amanda, a carer in Plymouth
Amanda has worked in the Plymouth branch for just over a year, and brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to the role.
“I have been working in the care profession for nearly 39 years. I have been a carer, senior carer and team leader, and have worked in the office as a care quality lead”, Amanda says.
“I could not praise Helping Hands enough, and would recommend them to anyone I know. I would also employ any of the carers to support my own loved ones.”
Pippa, a carer in Sale
The Sale branch were thrilled to welcome Pippa back to work after 10 years of retirement! Pippa returned to care because she felt she had more to give back to others and was keen to care for those who need additional support in their home.
Going by the mantra of “you’re never too old too care”, Pippa always goes above and beyond, and in recent months was able to save a customer’s life by performing CPR until paramedics arrived!
