Home Instead (Rugby)

"The very proud owner of Home Instead Rugby. I am very passionate about our clients receiving a high quality of care and companionship within the Rugby and Lutterworth area."

Throughout her working life, Sarah has held various positions in different sectors. From Burgers bars to care homes and went on to join the British Army in the Medical Corps.

She spent several years in retail management and then took some time off with her children and ventured into child care and fostering. She mainly cared for children with disabilities and challenging behaviour.

In Christmas 2012 Sarah stumbled across Home Instead and was offered a position with the office in Market Harborough as a Client Coordinator. She vowed never to take a job in care again as her earlier experience was not very nice. However, Home Instead helped her to realise that care can be high quality and bespoke.

"The personalised care that is offered ensures we make a genuine difference to our service users and their families and for the first time ever I enjoyed going to work" Sarah commented.

In November 2013 Sarah lost her mother at only 52 years old through her battle with cancer. This made her look at her life and she decided she really wanted to make a difference. She took the leap to buy her own Home Instead Office. It is a job that she thoroughly enjoys and she has no regrets.

In her spare time, Sarah likes to spend time with her family. She has two grown-up boys.

She enjoys socialising with friends, travelling, going out for meals and a nice glass of red wine.

I have been working in the care sector since 2015 and joined Home Instead in August 2018 as a Care Professional. I joined the office team shortly after as the Training Coordinator and was then promoted to Assistant Care Manager. I now lead the client team as Head of Client Experience.

With over 20 years of personal experience with both my parents requiring different levels of care and support. My Dad suffered a severe head injury when I was 13 and she watched his recovery over the following years. my Mum was then diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis when I was 18 and it progressed rapidly. I quickly decided my passion was to make a difference for people requiring care at home and have never regretted it.

While my children were small I attended university and left with a Level 5 Diploma in Health Care. I live in Rugby with my two grown-up children and crazy Labrador who keep me busy outside of work.

I love spending time with my family and socialising with friends.

Within her role, she supports Care Professionals with completing care certificates, competencies and supervisions. She also has a keen interest in the welfare of our staff and has recently completed a mental health awareness course to improve the wellness of our Care Professionals.

In the future, Tamara would like to set up a drop-in coffee morning where our Care Professionals can come and have a chat or seek some advice if needed.

Tamara started in the care sector about 19 years ago when she worked with children and young adults with autism and challenging behaviour. Since then she has worked in many care settings including care homes, hospital wards and mental health units. She has a Level 5 Diploma in health care.

Tamara is passionate about care and loves how every day is different within her role.

Out of work, she has a passion for all things history related in particular the Vikings and Tudors. She studied history at University where she gained her degree in 2012.

Tamara loves animals and has recently started fostering rescue cats, getting them ready to go to their forever homes.

I combine my passion for care with my skills in sales and customer service, marketing, and consulting to find and retain the best Care Professional's for our clients. With over 12 years of experience in these fields, I know how to reach and engage potential applicants, assess their suitability and fit, and onboard them smoothly and efficiently.

I also use digital marketing and social media to promote our brand, showcase our impact, and generate leads within the Rugby, Lutterworth, and Daventry areas. I love being part of a team that makes a difference in people's lives every day.
