Wright Care at Home

I’ve worked in Health and Social Care for the last thirteen years, in a variety of settings gaining a wealth of experience. I started as a care support worker delivering home care and then worked my way through the ranks of management to where I am now.

I have a background in customer service. I was a manager of a retail store in Stamford before moving to find a more rewarding career in Health and Social Care.

After working in a variety of care settings I had always had a passion and determination to set my very own care company up providing a wide range of services within my home town.

First hand knowing what good practice is I have always strived on delivering the best customer service. In 2016, I achieved a personal dream and I am fully committed to ensuring ‘Wright Care at Home’ provides a high standard of care, continuity and service to all our customers. Not only that but ensuring I have the best team to make sure this happens.’

Wright Care at Home is a small family run business. It was set up in January 2016 by my late father Simon Wright and myself. Unfortunately 2 years into our journey we lost Simon our co-founder in an accident. After personally witnessing what person-centred care should look like, I strive on to keep his ethos alive within the company.

He would be proud of how far we have come today.

My role is to support my management team and ensure they have all the tools and passion to continue delivering a great service and also to keep the compassion at the heart of all they do.

Since the birth of my twin daughters, I support the drive of the business forward with new innovative ideas and ensure standards are maintained. This is my dream and I'm excited for what the future holds for all of us.

Margie has supported the set up of Wright Care at Home with her wealth of experience in administration and her excellent organisation skills.

I have been involved in Customer Service Industries for most of my working life. This, coupled with an early family involvement with St. John Ambulance set me up perfectly for supporting my step-daughter, Samantha in establishing Wright Care at Home.

I currently work on the “mechanics” of the Business. Premises, equipment, advertising etc. I am also the Nominated Individual for Wright Care at Home meaning I am to available to staff members in order to support them with their chosen careers.

My calling for care came at a young age when I saw a loved one receive such attentive care and support whilst battling through their journey with cancer. It was at this point I knew I was destined for the industry.

I have worked for over 15 years in various care support roles across different settings, including elderly, palliative, learning disabilities and dementia care.

When my good friend, Sammy, started to create this company, I knew that is where I needed to be. I started in 2016 when the company was founded, and I have not looked back since. My role as a carer and the previous experience I had behind me quickly enabled me to work hard through the ranks, from Care Supervisor to Deputy Manager and now where I currently am, being the Registered Care Manager.

Every day I am proud of the ethos we uphold and that I play even a small part in that. We have been through many highs and hard times emotionally since opening the doors in 2016 but I believe that has made us all stronger and even more focused to carry on the amazing, high-quality service that we do. I feel blessed to be where I am to support, encourage and mentor our incredible Wright Care at Home family.

I joined Wright Care at Home in January 2022 and am very excited to take their training programme forward, upskilling the team and also learning from them as they all have gained substantial skills and knowledge during their careers.

I have worked with older people in various settings for over 35 years, starting off as a nurse, and moving on to Care home and Day centre management, as well as a spell in housing managing the independent living service, supporting older people in their own homes.

Moving into training seemed a natural step for me as I enjoy sharing my knowledge and skills and watching people learn and grow in confidence as they learn new skills.

I am a mum to 5, Nanny to 8, and if you haven’t guessed by now, my family are my world.

I’ve worked for Wright Care at Home from the beginning. I always remember my ‘Mum’ telling me there is no point in doing a job if you don’t enjoy it.

I can honestly say the work I do does not feel like a job, I absolutely love every minute.

In the two years I have worked for ‘Wright Care at Home’, I have achieved so many qualifications. All evidenced with a certificate. I love certificates! but my proudest moment and achievement is my recently awarded level 3 Diploma in Health and Social Care.

We are not just a team here, but a family. I was so overwhelmed when I was approached from my Manager encouraging me to apply for an ambassador senior role. I feel honored to be in this role, I sat through a grueling interview and then my Manager Sammy at the end said I already knew you would fit the role.

I have utter determination, respect, trust for everyone in my team, for all I do and most of all my customers who I provide care to.

I am so proud of my career here and would never look back.

I have been a carer for almost nine years now and joining Wright Care at Home is the best move I’ve ever made.

Their ethos, compassion, support and dedication shines through.

I have always been content to stay in this position but when I was given the opportunity to carry these attributes to new recruits and existing team colleagues to become an ambassador for the Company, how could I turn it down.

I love giving all my knowledge and experience to others, to watch them grow and flourish with such an outstanding Company. The close team work are what makes us unique and long may it continue.

Nich joined us in 2021 as a care worker supporting one of our complex care needs customers. He quickly joined the senior team where he has been able to transfer his skills from a background working in law and previous experience in care settings.

I work in home care because I want to help vulnerable people to be able to stay in their own homes around their loved ones. I love meeting all our different customers as they all have so many different personalities. I love working for wright care at home because I believe they are the best care company!!!

When my daughter Samantha set ‘Wright Care at Home’ with the help and support from her late father ‘Simon Wright’ I couldn’t have been more proud as she had worked so hard for her dream.

When I moved back from Suffolk and found I had a few hours in the evening spare she suggested I might enjoy a bit of bank work to help when needed in the community. I wasn’t quite sure I could still do it as I hadn’t delivered care since my late teens. How wrong I was I love it. The customers were and are lovely and it’s nice to hear about their lives and families and to cook suppers for them that they enjoy and look forward to. I know I make a difference.

Wright Care at Home is a person-centred company that goes above and beyond and I am delighted to be part of this family team and would highly recommend it to those who may be retired but have a few hours to spare to come to join this team.

You won’t be disappointed.

I started working for Wright Care in January 2020 and had no care experience, to be honest, I didn’t know whether I would even be able to fulfil my role, however, after the training and support from my colleagues, I knew this was the job for me.

I love making a difference in a positive way to the customers I visit and it helps them to stay living independently in their own homes.

I am proud to be a member of the Wright Care team.

I joined Wright Care at home in September 2020, in between lockdowns. It’s been a roller coaster year for us all and after losing my job at Alternatives, which offered a pregnancy and infant loss bereavement service, I was unsure of which way to turn within my career. After seeing a job advert for Wright Care at home I applied and straight away felt at home and excited to begin my journey after the job offer and I felt at home straight away. I now say I should have been doing this years ago and being a carer is more than a job to me.
