Enabling Care For You Ltd

Philippa Potter is the Founder and Director of Enabling Care For You, established in 2013 to provide high-quality, person-centred care in the community. With a career spanning over 27 years in the health and social care sector, Philippa has built her professional reputation on strong values, practical leadership, and an unwavering dedication to improving the lives of those in her care.

Currently undertaking her Level 7 Diploma in Health and Social Care Management, Philippa has a proven record of combining academic learning with practical expertise. She completed her Level 5 NVQ in Leadership for Health and Social Care in 2008, following earlier achievements of Levels 2, 3, and 4 in Care.

These qualifications reflect her lifelong commitment to professional development and to leading by example.

Philippa’s journey into care began in a residential home in Plaxtol, Sevenoaks, where she held the role of Manager and formed a longstanding professional partnership with Lesley, with whom she later co-founded Enabling Care For You. After the birth of her youngest child, Philippa felt drawn to work more closely with people in their own homes. She spent two years working for a mental health charity, supporting vulnerable adults and gaining valuable frontline experience that deepened her understanding of community-based care.

Philippa’s career progressed further when she joined Kent County Council’s Commercial Services flagship care agency. Her leadership abilities were quickly recognised, and she advanced from Branch Manager to Registered Manager for Kent and Brighton, and later to Area Manager. These roles gave her responsibility for overseeing large, diverse teams and ensuring consistent, high-quality standards across multiple areas.

In 2013, driven by a conviction that care could be done differently – with greater compassion, stronger accountability, and more specialist expertise – Philippa took the bold step of starting her own agency. Under her leadership, Enabling Care For You has developed a strong reputation for delivering specialist support to adults with palliative and complex care needs. The agency is known for its ability to combine compassion with clinical excellence, offering bespoke care packages that prioritise dignity, independence, and comfort.

Philippa remains actively involved in the day-to-day running of the agency. Her hands-on approach ensures that she maintains direct contact with clients, families, and staff, fostering a culture of trust and integrity. She is particularly recognised for her ability to support individuals with complex needs at home, often working closely with healthcare professionals to ensure continuity of care.

Beyond her professional role, Philippa is a strong advocate for continuous improvement in social care. She believes in nurturing staff through training, mentorship, and professional development, ensuring that the next generation of care professionals carries forward the values of empathy, respect, and excellence.

Philippa is widely respected for her vision, leadership, and commitment to high standards of care, and continues to drive Enabling Care For You forward as a leading provider of specialist community care.

Lesley brings over 40 years of experience in the care sector and a wealth of knowledge shaped by decades of hands-on practice. Her career began in residential care, where she balanced raising her young family with a deep commitment to supporting others.

In 1994, Lesley took a bold and personal step by opening her own residential care home within her family home. What began with one client quickly grew into a respected, family-run service supporting up to five residents. For 24 years, she provided care with warmth, professionalism, and a personal touch that families valued deeply. The home closed in 2017 due to family logistics, but the impact of Lesley’s dedication lives on in the lives she touched.

Lesley holds the Registered Manager’s Award (RMA) and has completed Levels 2, 3, and 4 in Health and Social Care, reflecting both her practical skill and her leadership ability.

When Enabling Care For You was first founded, Lesley joined as a sleeping partner, quietly supporting the agency as it found its feet. But as the business grew, her depth of experience became invaluable. Today, Lesley plays an active role in the day-to-day running of the agency, offering seasoned insight, compassion, and a deep understanding of client needs.

Families know Lesley for her approachable nature and her ability to combine decades of experience with genuine warmth. She helps to ensure that Enabling Care For You remains true to its roots: delivering care that feels personal, professional, and firmly grounded in real-world experience.

Amy began her working career in retail but, after some time, realised she wanted a more rewarding and hands-on role where she could truly make a difference. This led her to change career paths and move into the care sector, starting in a care home setting. There, she supported older adults and those under 65 living with dementia, physical disabilities or requiring residential or nursing care.

While Amy loved this work, she was keen to broaden her skills and support people with more complex needs. She transitioned into community care where she has spent the past seven years providing highly clinical and complex support in people’s homes.

Amy’s commitment, loyalty and consistently person-centred approach have earned her excellent feedback from clients, families and colleagues alike.

Polly began her career in care at the age of 16 after securing a Saturday job in a residential care home when she left school. Initially, her role involved making cups of tea, spending time chatting with residents and assisting with activities. It was during these early experiences that she discovered her passion for caring for others. Seeing the positive impact that a simple conversation, a smile or a small act of kindness could have on someone’s day inspired her to build a lifelong career in health and social care.

With over 20 years of experience in the care sector, Polly has developed extensive knowledge and expertise across a wide range of care settings.

Throughout her career, Polly has supported individuals with a wide variety of needs, including older people, those living with dementia, physical disabilities, learning disabilities, mental health conditions, end-of-life care and complex health needs. She understands that every individual is unique and strongly believes that care should always be tailored to the person, rather than expecting the person to fit around the service. Ensuring that every client is treated with dignity, respect and compassion is something she is deeply passionate about.

Polly is committed to delivering the highest possible standards in everything she does. She is known for her dedication, reliability and positive attitude, always striving to go the extra mile for both clients and colleagues.

Outside of work, Polly enjoys spending quality time with her family and creating lasting memories together. Family is incredibly important to her, and she believes that the same compassion, respect and kindness shown within her own family should be reflected in the care and support provided to every client.

Jess recently joined Enabling Care For You as a Trainee Care Coordinator and is already enjoying becoming part of the team.

Jess attended Aylesford Secondary School, where she thrived and developed the confidence and people skills that have continued throughout her working life.

Before joining Enabling Care For You, Jess worked in a residential home supporting adults with disabilities, a role she absolutely loved. During this time, she built some wonderful relationships with the people she supported and made many special memories. This experience strengthened her passion for helping others and making a genuine difference in people’s lives.

Outside of work, Jess’s biggest passion is horses and showjumping. Her love of horses led to an incredible opportunity to move to Spain and work with showjumping horses. It was an experience she thoroughly enjoyed and one that gave her the opportunity to follow her passion while experiencing a completely different way of life.

After returning to the UK, Jess was ready for a new challenge and wanted to build on her previous experience in care while developing a new career. This led her to join Enabling Care For You as a Trainee Care Coordinator.

Jess is particularly looking forward to problem-solving, taking on the everyday challenges that come with coordinating care, supporting our care teams and making a real difference to the people we support and their families.
