About me


Hi, I’m Jill. As the Head of Live-in Care, I ensure that our customers across the East of the UK have a high level of support and service. I’ve been involved in the care sector for around 15 years now and I’ve never looked back! I love the interaction I have with both our customers and their carers and I’m proud of the service we provide.

Experience


Before I joined Helping Hands, I worked for a small agency as a director of care but left to find a more established company, which is where Helping Hands comes in. I’ve also specialised in sheltered housing support, managing the housing and the care for residents with various needs.


From this, I extended to domiciliary care and eventually managed 18 sheltered schemes, five extra care schemes and five domiciliary care services. Throughout my roles in care, I’ve always strived to provide a flexible, person-centred service, assisting young people and vulnerable adults, and have gained numerous qualifications, including:


•   HCPA Advanced Safeguarding Champion Pathway
•   Level 3 Coaching and Mentoring
•   QCF Level 4 Support for Independent Living
•   QCF Level 5 Diploma in Management and


Leadership


I’ve undertaken a range of modules in dementia awareness and moving & handling to name just two and I’m keen to share my knowledge with our carers so they can continue providing a high level of care to our customers.


Why I chose Helping Hands


I am very proud to work for Helping Hands. The services we provide are of a high quality and I have a fabulous team of managers who all work extremely hard and are all incredibly committed. Not only was I keen to join Helping Hands given its reputation in the sector.
