The Berkeley Home Health Team

Karen has been working for Berkeley Home Health at the East of England Branch for over 2 years. She is responsible for ensuring her clients receive high quality visiting care at home from well-trained and supported carers. Karen started her career in business, having completed her AAT Accountancy and NVQ in Business, but left her role to provide care to her father who had cancer of the oesophagus for 6 years. Having helped support her father to the end of his life, it ignited a passion in Karen to care and support others. Karen then joined a local domiciliary care company as a carer, later being promoted to a field care supervisor and care co-ordinator, later becoming Care Manager of their Bury St Edmonds branch.

Abigail joined as a Business Manager in August of this year. A highly experienced care professional, Abigail has worked over the last 7 years in both privately owned and Local Authority Domiciliary Care Management.

Abigail really enjoys working with clients on a one-to-one basis providing them with a bespoke care plan to meet their individual needs whilst promoting independence where possible. As a Business Manager, she thrives on providing support to her team enabling them to deliver outstanding in-home care.

Amy has worked in the health and social care industry since 2016. Amy originally started as a support worker and has continued to follow her career development to become the Registered Manager for Berkeley Home Health Northwood in August 2022. Amy’s background has led her to working within most capacities of a care company including recruitment, training, assessing care needs, compliance, and staff retention.

Amy has fallen in love with the domiciliary care sector and aims to keep each client in their own home for as long as possible.

Amy has a huge drive to ensure all carers are upskilled and have their own individual career progressions in place and giving the care staff the best possible working environment to allow them to provide the highest standard to care to our clients.
