Home Instead (Barnsley)

Bryn and Jill Evans began their careers in care over 15 years ago when they first opened their Home Instead offices. At the time, they had just 2 employees. Now, they employ over 150 professionals in care.

To them, it truly is personal. Alzheimer’s disease is something that has affected both of their families, and they believe that had there been a service to provide home care, their loved ones would have lived longer and happier lives.

Having worked 20 years in the legal sector, Alison felt a change in direction and a new challenge was just what she needed - she's been with our team for nearly 10 years now.

As General Manager, Alison oversees both the office team and care operations for all of Sheffield and Barnsley. She also leads on business development to drive change, growth, and innovation.

Kerry is passionate about caring and helping her community.

In her role, she is dedicated to maintaining an exceptional quality of care for both our clients and Care Pros.

In her role, Molly ensures that clients receive consistency and quality of care, as well as being a valuable support system for the team of Care Professionals in Barnsley.

“As somebody with a background in psychology, it is in my nature to want to understand people and human behaviour, and I can’t think of a better industry in which to do so!”

“My role is to make a real difference in people’s lives, I have loved working in care for almost 40 years.

I’ve laughed, I’ve cried, I’ve saved lives, I’ve learned clinical skills I never imagined I would, but most of all I know I’ve made a difference whilst doing a job I’ve really enjoyed.”

Sharon is a valued member of the team with a real passion for care, having previously cared for her father prior to beginning her career in care.

“I work in social care because every day is different, and I enjoy working as a team – that’s really key to me”

Alison has been with us for 5 years now, and in that time her people skills have shown her to be a superb recruiter.

She strives on her mission to, “make a difference to someone else and give them a chance”.

She is passionate about promoting a positive work life balance as well as menopause awareness in the workplace.

Having worked in care before, Cheryl is passionate about providing outstanding quality of care for our clients.

“I strive to ensure that our clients receive an exceptional level of care because that's what they deserve!”

“I came to Home Instead following various roles in training and compliance where accuracy and consistency were essential. I now reflect on this experience in the HR and Compliance role, ensuring that our Care Pros are recruited safely and effectively.”

Lynette joined the team almost 2 years ago, having had 25 years of experience in retail management. She felt a career change was what she really needed.

“If you are a People-Person, don’t think twice about joining the Home Instead family. The skills you needed in previous roles are completely transferable.”

Elaine assists Lynette in the training department, supporting Care Professionals at the beginning of their care career and further training opportunities.

Bernice has been with us since 2009, just a few years after we opened our offices. Throughout this time, she has watched the company grow and go from strength to strength.

“Seeing how passionate our Care Professionals and Key players are about the quality of the services we deliver is truly rewarding."

Pauline started with us as a caregiver almost 8 years ago, during that time she has also taken on the role of Accounts Assistant.

The dual nature of her job enables her to be a part of a team of Care Professionals, as well as working under Bernice in Accounts and being a part of the wider office team.
