Westwood Care and Support Services Yorkshire Ltd

I oversee the running of Westwood Care and Support Services and Westwood Care Group. I have a passion for supporting people and helping to improve their lives through quality care and support services. I am very much hands-on and love nothing more than talking to the people we support about what it is they are looking for in a service and how we can help them to achieve their goals and aspirations.

Westwood Care and Support started back in February 2011 when I left my position as Branch manager of a healthcare recruitment agency to follow my own dreams. I wanted to provide a flexible care and support service for people that offered a reliable, consistent service with a small team of Personal Assistants. We have achieved this through hard work and determination and by remaining flexible it means that the people we support are in charge of their care and our service fits in with their lifestyle. We are responsive to people’s ever-changing needs and respond accordingly. We also work closely with their social worker, family, friends and/or advocate.

I joined Westwood Care and Support Services in 2011. I oversee the daily running of the business.

I have 30 years’ experience in the care sector and I am passionate about supporting people and helping them to remain in their own homes and ensure that they receive the highest quality of care.

We are a dedicated team and committed to treating each person as an individual. We work closely with each of our Service User’s and their families, friends and other professionals to ensure that their needs and wishes are met. We match our Personal Assistant team to each service user ensuring they have similar interests and experiences in common.

We are a friendly approachable team and always willing to listen to our Service Users and staff.
