Area Care Manager
I lead and support the fantastic team of branches and carers in and around the Bristol and Cotswolds area. I joined the care industry to help make a positive difference to those people that use our services and support my team to do the same. I am proud of the service we offer and of my team that deliver them. Oustide of work I provide a taxi service to my two teenage boys, and enjoy watching most sports. My background has predominantly been in retail, with my previous role working in the charity sector. I have also spent some time working in education, providing training for school governors and playing an active role in improving standards in a local school as Chair of Governors. I have been an area manager for fifteen years, leading teams to deliver company expectations across all aspects of the business.

Other care we provide
Home Care in Oxford
Helping Hands home care in Oxford enables those with more chronic or clinical health needs to still live at home surrounded by their possessions and loved ones, but with specialist care in their own home.
Whether you’re living with advanced Alzheimer’s and need support with personal care, mobilising safely and when you become more anxious at night, or if you have a clinical condition such as motor neurone disease that requires specific medical support – we can offer homecare to suit your situation.
We’ll work with you to complete a detailed assessment so that we can find out all about your medical and health needs, personal preferences and personality, enabling us to match you with the ideal visiting or live-in carer who has experience in your health needs but who also suits your persona, too. Once we’ve matched you with a carer, they will live with you in your home and will be on hand whenever you need them.
Live In Care visits to suit you
Receiving live in care in Oxford brings with it so many benefits, mainly that it is a direct alternative to moving into a care home and giving you one-to-one support from a dedicated carer who knows you well.
Furthermore, you get to stay in the place you know and love and where you may have lived for many years, alongside a partner, spouse or even a pet, which you would be unable to do if you moved into residential care.
We place an emphasis on working collaboratively with you when creating your support plan, so that everything is organised how you like it, with your home carers enabling you rather than taking over and doing everything for you.
They’ll get to know you and exactly how you like things done – from how many sugars you take in your tea to your favourite hobbies and past times that you like to discuss.
Choosing Helping Hands rather than a care agency in Oxford
We’re better than a care agency because we work extra hard to make sure our care staff are fully trained and always well looked after. At Helping Hands you can have total confidence that we employ our carers directly and take care of all the fiddly paperwork and admin that is involved in employing a carer.
Often this isn’t the case with care agencies – they’ll instead require you, the customer, to take responsibility for paying your carer, leaving you with the often stressful and time-consuming job of making sure your carer is getting paid the right amount.
We believe that our policy of directly employing our carers is also better for our carers’ wellbeing as it gives them a peace of mind that allows them to focus on doing their job.
Private Care in Oxford
Private care can start with short visit where a carer pops in to check that you’re okay, make your bed, put the washing on and prepare your lunch, taking everything at your pace and completing tasks in a manner that suits you and your routine.
Visits can then progress to 45 minutes or calls on an hourly basis – perhaps if you need more support with getting dressed or you’re unable to get your shopping by yourself and need an extra pair of hands to help you round the shops.
