Branch Care Manager
My journey in care started whilst I was studying at university and I joined the Helping Hands team in January 2020. I fell in love with the job instantly and truly believe that care and kindness is at the heart of everything we do. I am proud to oversee the service in Christchurch and lead our amazing team of carers and also the branch support team. In my spare time, I love exploring the local area by foot or paddleboard and try to spend as much time as possible close to the beach! My journey in care started whilst I was studying at university. I have worked with Helping Hands for over three years, working in various roles in both West Sussex and Dorset. I am extremely passionate about domiciliary care and enhancing the quality of our customers' lives to remain in their own homes, surrounded by loved ones. I find it extremely rewarding when we achieve a positive outcome to someone we support and their family, and also support our team to deliver the best care possible.

Bespoke home care in Bournemouth
Whether you need regular visits throughout the day to support you with your mobility or 30-minute drop-ins once a week to help you to plan your meals, our home care Bournemouth team is moulded and tailored entirely around what you want and need. That way, you can rest assured that you will always have someone that you can rely on who will support you with your care needs.
Experienced in supporting individuals with a variety of different conditions or health needs, our expertly-trained carers can assist with anything from Parkinson’s, dementia and Huntington’s to multiple sclerosis, acquired brain injuries, cerebral palsy and many other conditions. Regardless of your diagnosis, they can support you to ‘live well’ rather than ‘suffer from’.
Local to you, we can offer tailor-made assistance that is flexible to your changing needs. So, if your mobility begins to affect your ease of getting in and out of bed or washing yourself, we can adapt your care plan so that you have everything you need to live at home safely and comfortably.

Live in care to support your needs
You may have more intensive care needs that you need support with throughout the day and night, or you may live as a couple but one of you needs extra care that the other is unable to provide. Whatever your situation, live-in care in Bournemouth is an ideal solution if you need round-the-clock support but want to remain in the comfort and familiarity of your own home.

Why Helping Hands is better than a care agency in Bournemouth
At Helping Hands, we only employ the very best individuals that are full of passion for caring for others. Whether they have a little or a lot of care experience, we ensure that they undergo a thorough training programme to equip them with the skills they need to deliver the highest standard of care. And because we recruit and select our carers via our own Recruitment Teams, we can guarantee consistency of care and carers that have full background checks such as Disclosure Barring Service (DBS) screenings.
As an industry leader in home care, we only aim for the highest standards. To do this, all personal care services are provided by our Care Quality Commission (CQC) registered office Helping Hands Dorset, ensuring that our service is responsive, effective and safe. We are also members of the Dementia Action Alliance (DAA) and Spinal Injury Association (SIA), who promote the safest and latest practices when caring for those with their respective conditions.

Compassionate dementia care services
With over 850,000 people living with dementia in the UK and around 50% of our customers living with some form of the condition, we recognise how important it is for our carers to be able to provide the very best in dementia care. That’s why we ensure that all of our carers are equipped to support our customers practically and emotionally, enabling them to live well with dementia.
From vascular dementia to Alzheimer’s, we have the expertise and experience to support you and your family, regardless of what type of dementia you have or how advanced it is. Whether it’s helping you to get in and out of the house safely or if it’s helping you to enjoy memories from your youth, we’ll get to know what’s meaningful to you so that your care package is bespoke to you.
