Branch Care Manager
Hi, I'm Jade. As a Branch Manager for Helping Hands, I'm here to ensure the wonderful families we care for in the local area all have the support they need to live comfortably and independently in their own homes. I am also here to ensure that my Care Staff are happy and well looked after in their roles, that they feel valued and wanted as part of our team. I live in the Colchester area, but I grew up in Chelmsford so I know the area well. I started in care 10 years ago after helping my husband to care for his elderly Uncle whilst he was receiving Palliative Support. I started as a Carer, before moving into the office as an On-Call Coordinator, Care Coordinator and now Branch Manager. Before working in Care, I worked for the Post Office as a Customer Services Clerk. I currently have an NVQ Level 2 in Health and Social Care, I am taking my Level 5 and take all training very seriously.

Home care in Chelmsford
Helping Hands was founded by Mary Lee in 1989 as a way to provide extra support at home to those who needed it. And we are incredibly proud that, after 30 years, we are still offering that same person-centred service to thousands of families across England and Wales.
Built on a foundation of family values, we understand how important it is to feel safe, secure and independent in your own home. That’s why our team are here to provide a personalised support plan to ensure that you have the support you need with minimal disruption to your usual routine.
Whether you are looking for 30-minute drop-ins to help you with your household chores or more intensive support for a progressive condition, we’ll work closely with you to establish your individual home care requirements and build a support plan that is centred entirely around you and your needs.
Around the clock live in care support
We understand that acknowledging the need for more intensive support can be distressing for you and your loved ones, especially if residential care isn’t necessarily the right option for you. With dedicated live-in care in Chelmsford from our team, you have an ideal solution to ensure that you have the level of care that you need whilst remaining in the comfort of your own home.

Why Helping Hands is better than a care agency in Chelmsford
We’re better than a care agency because we take steps to ensure our carers are properly looked after, allowing them to focus their time and energy towards providing our customers with exceptional care.
Unlike most agencies, we employ our carers directly, giving them job security and also ensuring our customers won’t be burdened with heaps of time-consuming paperwork. Agencies will often insist that you personally pay your carers, leaving you to deal with lots of annoying financial admin and hidden fees.
Expert dementia care
The time following a dementia diagnosis can be very distressing for you and your surrounding family, but with expert dementia care from our Chelmsford team, we’re here to ensure that you have all the information and support you need to guide you through your journey.
With over 30 years of experience under our belt, we understand the complexities behind the condition and are here to support you with the many symptoms and behaviours that can arise. With patience and understanding at the fore, we’re here to help you and your loved ones with everything from practical support such as personal care and meal preparation, to guidance on how you can continue to communicate and enjoy your time together with your loved ones.
