Home Instead (Tavistock and Tamar Valley)

I am the franchise owner, leading a fantastic team who is passionate about client care. I am committed to keeping Home Instead Tavistock and Tamar Valley the first choice local home care provider, as well as the best employer for both our Care Professionals and our office teams.

I have worked in care for many years and was a Registered Manager in Launceston before joining Home Instead in 2021. Focussing initially on our Care Professionals and all of their HR management, I stepped up to the Registered Manager position in January 2024.

I am Clare, I am the Recruitment Manager at Home Instead Tavistock & Tamar Valley. I joined Home Instead in November 2020, after 20 years in my previous job recruiting apprentices within the business sector of administration, management and accountancy.

I am married to Mike and between us, we have 3 children and 4 grandchildren who keep us on our toes and very active. We have 2 dogs, a sausage dog called Rosie and a cocker spaniel called Tilly, we love to spend most of our free time walking them across the moors.

I am excited to have joined Home Instead and I am really looking foward to meeting all the existing Care Professionals and delivering the Assessment Programme for all new Care Professionals joining us.
I have 3 dogs, 2 children and a husband.
To relax I like to walk my dogs, garden and read.

I started with Home Instead in 2023 with 11 years of care experience.
I like to travel and cook.

My name is Sandie and I was the Registered Manager at Tavistock and Tamar Valley Home Instead office. I have now moved to a part-time role dedicated to our quality standards. I live in the beautiful town of Tavistock with my husband Mark and our two teenage daughters, we have an Irish Setter dog and a Maine Coon cat.

My career has primarily been in banking, starting as a bank clerk with Barclays at 16, and progressing to managerial positions within the Santander group. On moving to Tavistock in 2009, my husband and I wanted to share the care of our two young daughters, so I worked as an evening care worker to dovetail with his work. I developed a passion for looking after people in their own homes and started a small domiciliary company, wanting to improve my client’s quality of life and truly make a difference, this is how I met Lynn and her Mum Enid. Having started this journey from the beginning with Lynn, I am so proud that we have built an amazing team with values that focus on our mission to ‘change the face of ageing’.

I have two older daughters and four grandchildren and my spare time goes into dog walks on the moors, planning get-togethers, days out, holidays, online quizzes and murder mysteries. I also love live music events and getting on the dance floor.
