Mayfield Homecare Services Ltd

“Hi, I’m Joanne. I’m the Lead Co-ordinator here at Mayfield Homecare. I first joined the team in 1998 as a community carer after completing my YTS in care and childcare. Before that, I worked in a nursing home for several years, gaining valuable experience in supporting individuals with varying needs.

When I joined Mayfield, it suited me perfectly at the time—and they’ve never let me leave! Over the years, I’ve progressed through the roles of Lead Carer, Key Worker, and now Co-ordinator. Although most of my days are spent planning and implementing our weekly rotas, I still love getting out into the community and completing visits whenever I can.

Outside of work, I enjoy switching off by going on holiday with my family. I’m also a very proud grandmother to two wonderful grandchildren who mean the world to me.”

My name is Claire Leigh, and I am the Office Manager at Mayfield Homecare. I first joined the team in 1998 as a community carer. Before joining Mayfield, I worked in two nursing homes, and after having my two boys, I chose Mayfield because the role suited my family life at the time.

I began as a carer and later supported the out-of-hours service. In 2008, I moved to Yorkshire, where I had my daughter, and left Mayfield for a few years. When I returned to Warrington in 2013, I rejoined the team. At the time, my mum, auntie, and cousin all worked here, and I realised how much I had missed being part of Mayfield.

In 2017, I moved into the office to assist with spot checks and reviews. Today, I am often the first person you’ll speak to when making an enquiry about care for yourself or a loved one, and I am responsible for maintaining and updating care plans.

In my spare time, I enjoy going on holiday with my family—whether that’s abroad or spending time at our caravan in North Wales.

My name is Kirsty Towell, and I first joined the Mayfield team in 2013 as a member of the care team. I left in 2016 to gain further experience elsewhere before returning in 2018. Before my time at Mayfield, I worked in a medium secure unit as a Senior Support Worker in mental health.

Since rejoining the team, I have taken on the role of Recruitment Lead, where I am responsible for ensuring we welcome the right people into our team to care for you or your loved ones.

Outside of work, I help run Holly’s Farm in Penketh alongside my family. I have two daughters, I serve as a councillor, and I am actively involved in raising money for charity.
