Branch Care Manager
My role at Helping Hands is to manage a team of both office staff and carers out in the community to deliver an outstanding quality of care to our customers. My responsibilities within my role are to make sure we are delivering a safe and effective service and that we are responsive in our day to day activities. I decided to join the care industry after my grandad passed away in 2017. I had hands-on experience of what care was about and it inspired me to give something back and make my family proud. I decided to join Helping Hands as a carer which I thoroughly enjoyed, which then led me to progress into different roles within the company. I feel very passionate about what we do at Helping Hands and I have a fantastic team of both office staff and carers that have the same passion for the job as I do. I am very family orientated and in my spare time I love to spend time with my nearest and dearest, socialising, going out for food, and holidays abroad.

Other care we provide
High quality home care in Knaresborough
We know that you’ll like things to be done in a certain way around your home, so we’ll take the time to listen to you and understand your preferences so that we can provide a holistic respite care service that doesn’t differ from what you’re used to. It might be that you have a particular time at which you like to get up or go to bed, or maybe you’ve got a favourite set of meals that you’d like your respite carer to prepare. Whatever your personal needs and wishes might be, we’ll make sure you’re confident and happy with every aspect of your care so that you and your loved ones can have total peace of mind.
24/7 live in care support
Live-in care in Knaresborough from Helping Hands gives you the opportunity to have one of our superb carers live with you in your home and provide round-the-clock support and companionship. Your live-in carer will have their own room in your home, and will be on hand throughout the day and night to proactively help out with any physical, practical and emotional needs you may have. We’ll pair you with someone who shares your personality, interests and general outlook on life so that you’re living with someone you’ll get on really well with, and we’ll take the time to make sure your live-in carer knows what you need assistance with, how you like things to be done, what you’d like your daily schedule to look like, and what personal boundaries you’d like to set.
Why Helping Hands is better than a care agency in Knaresborough
We’re a private care provider rather than a care agency, which means that we offer a number of guarantees that many agencies simply don’t. For example, when you partner with our Knaresborough team for home care, you’ll only ever be supported by carers who are directly employed and paid by us. This means you can have peace of mind that your Helping Hands carer has been recruited, vetted and trained by us, and is being properly looked after. We’ll handle your carer’s wages, give them paid holiday and a pension, and ensure they’re able to focus their time and energy on looking after you. And, should a carer ever be unavailable at short notice, we’ll always provide you with an alternative carer who will also be employed by us.
Qualified carers providing a variety of care services in Knaresborough
Our CQC-regulated service is provided by the very best carers in the industry. We’re very particular about who we hire to our care teams, only recruiting people who share our company-wide values of kindness, compassion and empathy. We know that it takes a special sort of person to be a truly great carer, which is why we have such a rigorous recruitment and vetting process in place. Then, when they start with us, every new carer enrols on our industry-leading carer training, where they learn how to support people with a wide variety of needs. This initial carer training is supplemented by ongoing refresher courses, to ensure each carer’s knowledge and skillset is kept up to date with the latest care industry standards and best practices. And, for your full peace of mind, every aspect of our nursing care is independently regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC).
