Jenna has been with Berkeley Home Health since April 2023, and her experience within the care sector has been a real asset to the team. Jenna says "I have over 10 years experience within the care industry. Starting as a domestic assistant in a care home, worked my way up to a care assistant. I have worked within a few different settings including adults with autism and challenging behaviour, to visiting care. I took a little break from care work in 2016, but when the pandemic hit, I just had to come back to it! I have worked with Berkeley now for just over a year and really enjoy every part of the job but the best bit is seeing the clients smile when I walk in their door.

Sophie has been working with Berkeley Home Health since April 2023, she is a really bubbly character and very popular with everyone she visits.

I truly love my job and seeing all of our clients when I’m on shift.

Ulanda came over to Berkeley in July 2023, Ulanda already had 4 years of experience in domiciliary care at this point so we were happy to welcome her to the team.

It’s not a career I thought I’d be in but now I enjoy it very much and have completed my NVQ 2 and 3 in health and social care".

"I've been doing care work for roughly a year now. I really value what we do, as we enable our clients to stay in their own homes and be as independent as possible. I enjoy visiting clients in their homes because you really get to know each client well while learning about them and their lives."

Joyce started with Berkeley Home Health in November 2022. Joyce enjoys going out to see her regular customers and provides a high standard of care to all of those she visits.
