Radfield Home Care Fareham, Gosport & Warsash

Jason’s background lies in recruitment, spending time recruiting both internationally and locally. He has managed local retail outlets, progression to management and business development roles involving international operations and development of new markets. His experience in recruitment and business development puts him in a fantastic position to overcome some of the challenges facing the care industry.

“I have family and friends involved in the care sector, which has given me some insight into the difficulties in the industry. I’ve also seen the amazing people giving care and the difference that they make every day to people’s lives.

“There is a lack of appreciation and understanding in general of the vital role that Care Professionals provide in the community. One of my goals is to develop a better understanding of this in my community, so that they are seen as the skilled professionals that they are.”

To pursue his dream of running his own business, Jason had to make the difficult choice of leaving his corporate lifestyle behind.

“In the end this was made possible by realising that in this industry I really could make a difference to my community rather than what was increasingly feeling like superficial success in the more corporate background that I was part of.”

Radfield Home Care puts a lot of emphasis on the family values the company was founded on and with this comes championing client satisfaction and making Care Professionals feel valued and supported. These values align perfectly with Jason’s own goals and aspirations.

“I want to increase the awareness of the importance of the role of Care Professional in our community. Radfield Home Care are always open to new ideas and always looking for ways to improve the service offered.”

We would like to introduce you to Deborah, registered care manager for Radfield Home Care Fareham, Gosport & Warsash. Debbie is responsible for the day to day running of the office in line with CQC regulations and also for ensuring that the service is safe, caring, responsive, effective and well led. Debbie is the key point of contact for carers, clients and their families and promotes individual’s wellbeing at all times.

Debbie’s journey in care began when she was just a child, spending a lot of time with her grandparents and listening to their stories.

“I have always had a caring and compassionate nature and after working within the retail sector for years I decided I wanted a change and to make a difference, I got chatting to a friend outside my daughters school and she suggested I try caring.

It was the best decision I had ever made. I enjoyed it so much, seeing my ladies and gents faces every time I went in and the difference it made not only to them but to me. I really felt that I was making a difference and was so happy at my job for the first time.”

Debbie has extensive experience in the care sector. She started her career in care in 2006 as a Care Professional in her local community. Her passion for looking after others has led to her working in a variety of settings, from domiciliary care, dementia care and adults with learning difficulties.

“In 2017 I started with my previous employer as a supervisor, becoming the manager shortly after. I passed my level 5 in health and social care in 2019 and then passed my CQC fit person interview to become the registered manager, overseeing 2 large branches of the company, running over 250 staff and 500 clients.”

Debbie’s background as both a Care Professional and registered manager makes her the ideal person to understand the challenges facing both clients and employees.

“I enjoy a challenge and am looking forward to building an extremely successful business with great values. I believe myself and Jason have the same passion and drive to promote person centred care to empower individuals to live the best life possible by providing excellent care with valued care staff.”

Debbie wants to inspire others, she tells us:

“I feel after starting as a Care Professional and working my way up that I can inspire others. I will always be available for clients and their families as I believe it is essential to build trusting working relationships to help clients and families to feel confident about the service they are receiving. I am passionate about the job I do and the people that work alongside me.”

About Abigail
We would like to introduce you to Abigail, Business Development Manager for Radfield Home Care Fareham, Gosport & Warsash.

What is your background before joining Radfield?
After leaving college, I worked in care homes, nursing homes, and residential facilities. After earning a Certificate in Community Services, I spent 15 years working for the local council in Perth, Western Australia, where I was trained as an assessor. In this role, I conducted holistic, person-centred assessments during home visits. I also undertook additional training in frontline management. For the past six years, I worked for the NHS in a role that mirrors my previous experience.

How has your background prepared you for your new role at RHC?
My previous role in the care sector has been instrumental in preparing me for my new position as a Business Development Manager. Working in care developed my interpersonal skills and the ability to build strong, trust-based relationships—all of which are essential in business development.

What has inspired you to want to be involved in the adult social care sector?
I was inspired to work in the care industry because I’ve always had a deep sense of empathy and a desire to make a positive difference in people’s lives. From a young age, I found fulfilment in helping others—whether it was supporting a family member through illness or simply offering a listening ear to someone in need. Seeing the impact that kindness and patience can have on someone’s well-being sparked something in me.

How do you feel your role and your experience will benefit Radfield’s clients?
I find it both natural and rewarding to be in a position to advocate for Radfield Home Care. Given the agency’s outstanding reputation for professionalism and compassion, it’s easy to promote our dedicated care team to the community. I take pride in connecting families with trusted, person-centred care and helping to grow a service that truly makes a difference in people’s lives.
