Right at Home (North Somerset)

Hello. I’m Grant

Before I joined the care industry, I was an operation and finance professional. I felt like I wanted to do more than just sit in a corporate environment, so I am thrilled to be able to combine my business skills with my desire to support people in my local community.

I have lived in North Somerset for the past decade, with my wife, two boys, and a beagle. We enjoy walks in the woods and have recently taken up cycling as a hobby.

My team and I would be delighted to answer any questions you might have, and hopefully, be able to offer support to you or a loved one.

Hi, I’m Pat.

I am the Manager at Right at Home. My job entails a little bit of everything, including liaising with our wonderful carers and our special clients.

I have been in the care industry for many years. I am extremely passionate about caring for people and ensuring that their needs are met. I lived in South Africa for 35 years, where I worked as a Cardiac ICU nurse. My husband and I moved to the UK in 2016 to be closer to our family. Since I arrived here, I have been working as a carer in the community.

I am thrilled to be part of the Right at Home North Somerset team, which is constantly striving to achieve the very best for its clients and carers. Nothing is ever too much trouble!

I love spending time with my family, and my two grandsons. I love going for walks in the countryside, and I am an avid reader. I also enjoy doing all sorts of handwork and spend a great deal of time working in my garden.

Hi, I'm Stacey and I have been with Right at Home since January 2021.

I have done a number of roles in that time from CareGiver to Administration to Compliance and now I am the Deputy Manager.

I have worked in Care since 2010 and have a real passion for providing quality, person centred care to those that need it. Being able to provide someone with the help and support they need has always been the most rewarding thing for me and the reason I do what I do. Seeing the joy on the faces of our clients when they get to visit the Zoo or see the Pantomime drives me to provide a social aspect for them as well as provide the day to day care that they need.

I enjoy spending my spare time with my family and going on holidays/adventures with them. We love our camping trips!

Hi, my name is Clair and I am the Co-ordinator for Area 2.

My background is in early years child care management, managing multiple childcare settings. I have now moved into adult care and am thoroughly enjoying this new direction.

In my free time, I love to bake delicious treats for my family and friends. When I’m not busy baking, I like to take my dog paddleboarding with me around the rivers and lakes of the South West.

I am delighted to be a part of the Right at Home family and to learn all about adult care in the community.

Hi

I am Nicole, the Training & Development Co-ordinator, at Right At Home. I have a background in Training and have been in the Care Industry for the 6 years I have lived in England.

I came to Care by chance and fell in love with it. Supporting vulnerable people and making their lives that little bit better is the most rewarding job I have ever had.

My role at Right At Home combines my Training and Care background.

I have lived in several countries around the world, so considered travel to be my main hobby, but have now settled in North Somerset.

Hi, I am Peggy.

I have only worked in care for a year and a half after having come from a legal background. They say when one door closes, another opens. After I was furloughed and then made redundant, I decided to make a career change. It was the best decision I made. I didn’t have any experience in care but with the guidance and training of our team here at Right at Home I now have a thorough grasp of the world of care. I have thoroughly enjoyed meeting all our clients and working alongside our amazing carers. I still do some care calls and enjoy catching up with the people I have previously cared for.

I used to live in South Africa but returned to the UK in 1986 and have resided in North Somerset ever since.
I have a beautiful tabby cat who shares my life and I sometimes wonder who is in charge of our household!

I enjoy singing and belong to a local Acapella Chorus, called Waves of Harmony. When I am not busy singing with them, I enjoy reading, going for walks and meeting up with my friends.

I am delighted to be part of the Right at Home team.

Hi, my name is Poppy and I have recently completed my apprenticeship in customer service.

This is my first job in care and I enjoy everything about it. I love going and meeting all our lovely clients and making their lives just that bit easier, it is such a rewarding part of the job.

In my free time, I love spending time with my family, taking my dog on many adventures, and going on holiday.

I am proud to work at Right at Home and to be part of such a friendly and supportive team!

Hi, my name is Paige. I joined the Right At Home team to become a Care Administrator, and have now moved into a Client Liaison role.

I have worked in the care industry since 2012, specialising in adults with learning disabilities especially. Whilst growing up my Grandad had MS and my Nan was his main carer – she taught me the ins and outs from a very young age. Carers weren’t always very useful so me and Nan would do the care ourselves and send them away. (There weren’t the standards that there are today!) I believe that’s where my love for care comes from.

I very much wear my heart on my sleeve and to be able to enable someone to stay in their own home with what they know best and to adhere to their wishes, is very rewarding!

I have a daughter called Fleur who my world revolves around. In my spare time, I enjoy making memories with family and friends.

I feel privileged to be part of the Right At Home team and have felt very welcomed. I am looking forward to seeing where my journey takes me with Right At Home.

I have worked in care for about 10 years in a variety of different aspects i.e. Care Homes as well as Home Care, in both Carer and Senior Carer roles. I loved the variety of Home Care and seeing different clients so came to Right at Home nearly 2 years ago.

I love Care Work: being able to help each client with whatever it may be. Previously I have worked with Right at Home in the role of Client Liaison Officer. I have now taken on a more staff-focused role, supporting with Training and Development and conducting spot checks in the homes of our clients, to ensure our care team is fully equipped to deliver really Outstanding care. 

Other than work I have 3 beautiful daughters to run around after. They keep me busy and smiling each day.

Hi, My name is Amy and I support the Client Liaison Team here at Right at Home.

I have an extensive background working in the childcare sector for 13 years. I am passionate about caring for others and transferred across to the adult care sector in 2022.

I am vibrant and energetic often spending my time singing and participating in outdoor activities.

I am excited to have the opportunity to support our clients to live independently in their own homes.

I am excited to join a great team of office staff and carers for an employer I feel "Right at Home" with.

I look forward to searching for and helping new recruits through the process of joining Right at Home, and helping our clients within the community live their life to the fullest each day.

I am a father of a baby daughter, and love spending time with family. I also like to travel and explore various countries and cultures of the world, especially trying out different food.

I enjoy watching and playing basketball, and trying to keep myself fit.

I have worked in the Care industry for 16 years, working mostly in the community, but also have worked in a care home. I especially enjoyed working in the community, meeting new people, and giving help and support to help people remain in their own homes for as long as possible.

I came to Right at Home nearly two years ago. Right at Home gave me support and encouragement in finishing my NVQ level 3 in Health and Social Care and supported me with any training I was interested in undertaking.

I really enjoy meeting clients and supporting our CareGivers.

Hi, I’m Amy and I’m the Community Development Officer.

My background is with a weight loss company and I love being out in the community meeting and engaging with people and supporting them in whatever way I can as well as running group events. I’m looking forward to sharing with potential clients the help and support that is available to them through Right at Home and helping strengthen the community feel of the company.

In my spare time, I enjoy cold water swimming, and if not in the water I can often be found on the beach walking my dog. I also enjoy travelling and am a firm believer in always having the next holiday booked!
