Home Instead (Rochdale)

As the owner of Home Instead Rochdale, my focus is on the service first and the business second as I want to provide a quality service that I would be happy to use for myself and my family.

I have a daughter who used to live with me in Hebden Bridge but she has now flown the nest. When I am not dedicating my time to Home Instead, I enjoy hill walking- especially in the Lake District, spending time in my vegetable garden and looking after my chickens. I also love cooking, but it is really just an excuse to listen to football on the radio and to drink red wine!

My name is Beth and I am the Operations Manager. My role is to effectively coordinate all day-to-day operations and lead a team of Key Players to proactively manage the needs of the clients and Care Professionals whilst keeping our quality of care at the highest level.

Hello, my name is Rebecca, and I am the Care Manager at Home Instead Rochdale. After graduating from university in 2020, I started working for Home Instead. I have recently obtained my Level 5 Diploma in Leadership and Management for Adult Care.

I thoroughly enjoy the work I do at Home Instead as we enable individuals to remain in their homes for as long as they would like. My favourite part of the job is setting up new care packages and seeing the positive difference our service can make!

I live locally with my cats, Tillie and Lunar. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family and going out for food, especially Italian food!

I’m Kim and I’m the Scheduler in our team. Day to day I am responsible for coordinating the carers and the clients and ensuring everyone knows where they need to be and when. I thoroughly enjoy the challenges that my role presents me with and even more so as it is for a company that I respect and am proud to work for.

I live in Bacup with my husband Jon, my two young boys Jack and Charlie and my daughter Rosie; my children are in infant school and nursery so outside of work I am busy looking after them and our cat Rodders! I love food, especially cheese, and love going camping in our tent as often as possible. My favourite holiday is our annual drive to the south of France to see my French family; it takes two days but the children love the journey!

I’m Joanne, I am the networker at Home Instead, Rochdale. I cover Heywood, Middleton and Rochdale to raise awareness of the high-quality services we provide. The role enables me to spend time building and developing community relationships with other agencies, community services and local groups.

I have always worked directly with the public. I have spent the last 16 years of my career working in the care sector with varied experience in Learning Disabilities, Mental Health and Carer Support. I find my role exciting and rewarding, particularly engaging with the whole community and providing support wherever I can.

I was born in Rochdale and live locally. I have two teenage daughters and a cat, they all keep me very busy. When I get a chance to relax (in between being a mum taxi) I enjoy going to the theatre and I also volunteer at local am-dram societies.

Hi, I’m Lisa and I look after recruitment and training here at Home Instead, Rochdale My role covers recruitment, retention and training.

I enjoy meeting people and following their progress from application through to induction/training to becoming a CARE Professional. It's really rewarding to see our staff develop their confidence and skills.

I live in Whitworth, close to my parents, daughter and her family.

My grandson keeps me very busy and active, especially when he has a sleepover at my house. I also have a dog named Billy!
