Branch Care Manager
Hello, I am Rebekah, branch care manager in Durham. It is my responsibility to oversee the day to day running of the branch, ensuring that we are delivering safe, high quality care to our customers. It is not only important to me that we provide high quality personalised care to our customers but also that we have carers who are supported and enjoy working with our customers. As I am a local person, who has grown up and currently raising my own family in Durham, I believe that it is important to invest into the community around. I feel that it is important to people of Durham that the care that they receive reflects the community of Durham and that is what inspires me to be able to look after the people and be able to connect with the community in which we live. As I mentioned before, I am local lady and I have children which I enjoy spending time with, however I also like to hide away and enjoy reading a good book. When not in Durham, we like to spend time in Whitby, enjoying caravan life. Previously I have worked for the past 15 years in supported and care services, starting as a supported care worker and then developing roles through to management. I have worked with people with a variety of different life challenges and conditions.

Other care we provide
High quality home care in Consett
At Helping Hands, we know that every individual’s care journey and needs are unique to them. That’s why we’ll always take the time to get to know your specific needs and wishes, and will work alongside you to ensure we’re providing you with the right type and level of support at all times. We believe that a person-centred approach to care is the most effective way to you to live life at your own pace and on your own terms, and that this is best achieved at home with dedicated, personalised support.
24/7 live in care support
If you or a loved one are at a stage where you’d benefit from having one-to-one support throughout the day and overnight, you may wish to consider live-in care from Helping Hands’ Consett team. Live-in care gives you one-to-one support with all the routines and chores you need help with – whether that’s toileting, bathing, housework, meals, laundry, gardening, shopping, or just about anything else! We’ll help match you with a live-in carer who shares your personality and interests, so that you’ve got a valued, trusted companion as well as someone to provide physical and practical assistance.
Why Helping Hands is better than a care agency in Consett
Being a private care provider, rather than a care agency, means that at Helping Hands we employ and pay our carers directly and take full responsibility for their general wellbeing. Often care agencies will require customers to pay their carers directly. This results in all sorts of unexpected and unwanted fees and paperwork that can often become time-consuming and stressful. With home care from Helping Hands, we take care of all the fiddly admin and we make sure our carers are always well looked after, ensuring that they’re able to focus on providing you or your loved one with the best possible care.
Qualified carers providing a variety of care services in Consett
We’re extremely proud of our brilliant team of carers in Consett – they truly are wonderful at what they do, and are passionate about ensuring every customer receives the exceptional home care they deserve. All of our carers have been selectively recruited for their kind, compassionate personalities, as we believe these are essential characteristics for a carer, and have been subjected to rigorous background checks before starting with us. Then, when they join, every carer receives our industry-leading training, and will continue to participate in regular refresher courses so that their knowledge and skills are always up to date with the latest best practices.
