Right at Home Weybridge & Richmond

Alastair realised back in 2012 that homecare was a very rewarding way to work within his local community and was successful in joining the growing team of Right at Home local owners/operators.

"My role has changed significantly since I started the business in 2012, Alastair explains. From being involved in every activity of the business to now having an amazing team that does all the hard work. I am still involved in defining our strategic plans, overseeing the values and culture of our business and leading the senior team."

"Although it is great to receive amazing feedback from our clients, I think the most rewarding part of my job is to support team members to fulfil their potential and grow their careers at Right at Home."

Alastair described working at Right at Home as rewarding, varied, and safe. Read less

Rhys joined the Right at Home team in 2021 as Head of Finance & Business Development, after realising the difference Homecare can make to individuals. Rhys' job allows him to "oversee all finance-related activities and ensure the business is building partnerships with local authorities, communities and businesses in the local area." Since then, in the summer of 2025, Rhys got a promotion to Deputy Manager Director!

Can you share a bit about your background and what you did before joining Right at Home?

Before joining Right at Home, I worked in the promotional merchandise industry. Anything you could brand, we would print. We operated as a global solution, meaning I had the pleasure of working on the US, Europe and Asia time zones. I've always worked in finance ever since leaving sixth form and have a real passion for understanding how everything works, from the economy to budgeting.

What inspired you to join Right at Home?

Knowing what this industry gives back was key to my decision. Having close relatives who worked in this sector, I knew exactly what feeling you get when leaving and going home. That feeling of a job well done. Of really making a difference to someone. I say it to everyone I come across, certainly ex-employees from my time in the City. This role is incredibly rewarding, and I wouldn't change it for the world.

What does a typical day look like for you?

I'm always looking ahead. Strategically thinking about ways to grow the organisation and improve processes to increase efficiency. I spend time catching up with the CareGivers to discuss pensions, holiday pots or budgeting. From a client's perspective, I make sure that they continue having the best quality homecare that puts our name on the map.

Can you share a memorable moment or achievement that you have experienced as a caregiver?

I assisted a client with an old printer they had. When I say old, I mean 22+ years old. Not the kind of printer you can pick up from your local Currys or Argos. Both the branches in question made it our mission to get this individual printing again (as they make the most wonderful cards that EVERYONE enjoys). We sourced the printer on eBay. Negotiated a price. Received the item and made sure this was all set up for them to start using straight away. It's still going on to this day! The way I can tell is because everyone in the office has received a Christmas card!

What’s your hidden talent that (until now) most people don’t know about?

I can speak Spanish. I used to be fluent after spending 5 years of my childhood living in Tenerife.

What’s your favourite thing about working with your colleagues?

We are all just so, so different. In my previous role, it was very sales-driven and sales-based, meaning we had one mould of person. Here it is completely different. I think everyone here has done care in the past, and I love just how enthusiastically they speak about the sector. It's infectious! Read less

Claire’s return to college and her desire to ‘give something back’ were the key motivations that kick-started her career in care. Today, Claire oversees the compliance across all four of our territories. Claire’s role is vital in ensuring that Right at Home delivers the highest standards for everyone involved - our clients, caregivers, and employees. Her dedication to this is truly inspiring.

Can you share a bit about your background and what you did before joining Right at Home?

I am a proud mother of four and someone who values lifelong learning. After taking time to focus on my family, I returned to my studies as a mature student, which led to my degree in social work. Following that, I worked for a charity for several years, where I was able to make a meaningful impact by supporting unpaid carers and families.

What motivated you to pursue a career in caregiving?

My caregiving journey has been shaped by a lot of personal experiences and life events. Supporting my elderly grandmother as she aged was a big part of it - it showed me how much of a difference a little care and compassion can make. As a mother of four, I’ve always been in the role of looking after others, and when I went back to school to study social work, it gave me a deeper understanding of how to support people in meaningful ways.

What inspired you to join Right at Home?

Their commitment to providing truly person-centred care. Right at Home focuses on quality care by offering hourly visits. This means we have the time to build real connections and provide the support people need without feeling rushed.

What does a typical day look like for you?

A typical day for me starts with checking my emails and completing any necessary admin tasks. I often visit other offices to make sure everything is on track and offer support as needed. No two days are exactly the same, but that’s part of what makes it so rewarding.

What do you enjoy or find most rewarding about your role?

What I enjoy most about my role is visiting the clients and seeing firsthand the difference our carers make in their lives and the impact they have on their well-being. I love listening to the carers and hearing their stories about going the extra mile, it’s a privilege to be part of a team that genuinely cares about making a difference.

What’s your favourite way to unwind after work?

Crocheting

What’s the best piece of advice you have ever received?

Treat people how you’d want your loved ones to be treated.
