Right at Home (Cardiff & Newport)

Hello, I am Joe Guishard – the owner of Right at Home Cardiff and Newport. I am very proud of being the first Right at Home provider of care to the seniors in the Welsh Principality. I was born in Cardiff and have lived here all my life, so it gives me a feeling of great pride that I can now offer a service to the community that has helped look after me.

Prior to opening this company, I was a serving police officer for 6 years, wearing out shoe leather in Cardiff. On my “off duty” days, I spent many hours supporting my elderly grandparents in a multitude of areas. These include practical tasks such as gardening and cooking, but also engaging in long fascinating conversations with my grandma about the ‘good old days’.

I knew should they want care in their own homes, later on in life where family or loved ones were not able to help, then I would want them to have the quality of care that they deserve.

I came to realise that by opening Right at Home in Cardiff and Newport I would be able to offer this quality care, and also ensure that other seniors or vulnerable adults looking for similar quality services could rely on me and my company.

Hi, my name is Holly, I have worked in care for almost ten years, starting my care journey with Right At Home when I was in university studying Education. I began as a carer and progressed through the company, firstly as admin then co-ordinator, to Registered Manager.

I left for a short time after having my daughter, to work in another domiciliary care agency as their Networking Officer, before now returning to my roots with Right At Home.

I have two young children – a son and a daughter, so when I am not at work I am generally chasing them around, stopping the baby from dribbling on the toddler or stopping the toddler from throwing things at the baby. When I am not wrestling with the children, I prefer to spend my time outdoors, walking with my dog, relaxing in the garden with a book, or trying and failing to grow things in my allotment.

I working in the care industry because I want to make a difference! I enjoy meeting people and doing what I can to ensure they have the best day possible.

I am really excited to be back as part of the Right At Home team, and I am looking forward to catching up with those I have worked with previously and getting to know the staff I have not met yet.

I started working for Right at Home in 2014, starting off as a carer and then progressing into the office as an Administration Assistant. I then progressed to Finance Assistant and now currently working as the Finance Manager.

Within my role, I am in charge of all the financial aspects, from the invoicing to the payroll. My role plays a huge part within Right at Home, and I am grateful to have been given this opportunity to progress within a fantastic company that puts its service users and carers as their top priority, to enable the best care to be delivered in the community.

Hello,

I’m Leah the registered manager for our Cardiff & Newport region of Right at Home. I was very keen on working within the Team for the values, standards and passion for care that projected from the moment I walked through the doors.

I have worked in the health and social care sector since I was 18 and always felt this was my calling in life. I have always wanted to help and care for others, to be a part of someone’s journey, growth, and challenges and know you have made a difference no matter how small the step forward, will always bring me great self-satisfaction.

My purpose in striving forward for management was all the years of trying to make positive changes for staff and keep person-centred approaches at the heart of care.

Being amongst the workforce in the community I can relate and plan for future growth. I am committed and passionate and look forward to being a part of the Right at Home family.

Being in the care industry is a very important thing for me as it is the most rewarding job I have ever been involved in. I find it so rewarding that my actions today are ensuring that clients are having the best quality of life within their own homes. I then decided that I would like to expand my involvement within Right at Home and became part of the office team as a trainee care coordinator. The reason behind this was to help ensure that we are providing the best service for our staff members as well as our clients.
