1. Why/How you came into care.
I came into care after a career change from Hair and Beauty. I Knew I wanted to work within the care sector, so started off as a carer in a residential home. I then decided to go into specialist care and joined an agency, which led me to work with an Individual who suffered with a Brain injury. From that moment on I knew what my passion was. Supporting and making sure individuals from any walk of life got the support they truly needed. I have now been in the care industry for over 24years. I’ve worked my way up from a carer, a risk assessor to a Registered manager, and hopefully with working alongside Matt and Nicky at Purelife I can still progress within this industry and within Purelife.
2. What you enjoy about it and hoping to achieve.
For me its knowing we are making a difference to someone’s day, making a difference to their mental state and supporting them with socialising and making every day count , just being an ear for them at times. My aim would always be to put my clients first, to continue to keep them safe and to support them to remain in their own home for as long as they are able to. I don’t look at our clients as if they are just a package, and just hours. I look at them as human beings and their quality of life means a great deal to me.
3. What you like about working here.
I love the fact that all staff are very much appreciated , I’ve not experienced working along side such a supportive caring management team before. From day one I could see that Purelife wasn’t driven by hours, or figures , Purelife is very much driven by quality of care. And that is very visible to see across the company.
4. Hobbies – something about you as a person / hidden talents!
When I’m not at work I spend the majority of my time with my family, running around after my 2 year old son. From long walks, to feeding ducks, to visiting animal parks.
I do love to dance, can’t say I’m very good at it but like they say ‘Dance like no one is watching’
Founder and Managing Director
“I started Pure Life Homecare in 2015 after my late Grandad had home care in London. The carers were good, but they didn’t really engage. They’d wander in from the kitchen with toast and tea, make some comment about the weather and they’d be off. It wasn’t their fault. They were overworked and under-appreciated.
I just felt that care could be done so much more effectively by focussing on the carers. Yes, of course excellence in personal care is imperative which is why I made it one of our core values but it musn’t be forgotten people are sociable creatures. That’s why we emphasise the professional, personal and social aspect of care.
When I’m not consumed by care I do have a few vices – Ducati’s (am I too young for a mid-life crisis?!), ardent Spurs fan (yes, I know – I did say vices!!), the occasional (very occasional) tough mudder, scuba diving (even once at Margate – hmmmm…Why?!). But ultimately it’s my amazing young family that keeps me grounded!”
Field Support Supervisor
1. What motivates you to wake up and go to work everyday?
My motivation to get up and go to work in the morning, is making a difference to a person's outlook on life, showing them they are worth it, they can do it, somebody does care that they have started another day. Helping them realise what they can achieve with a little helping hand.
2. How do you make a difference at our company?
I make a difference to the company because I have high expectations and care how the companies reputation is perceived. So I will go that extra mile to ensure that the support I give and roles I carry out are completed to a high standard.
3. What has been your favourite moment working in care?
My favourite moment about working in care is the little things, like when you hear a service user or a family member say how much of a difference you as a person have made to their lives and the difference they can see. Or when a service user achieves a goal and that smile creeps across their face.
4. What’s something people don’t know about you?
Something you may not know about me, this is a hard one. As I am a very truthful person so most people know everything about me anyway. But an unusual thing would be that I have a pet snake called Sid. Not everyone's cup of tea I am sure!!!
5. What do you most like about working here?
The thing I like most about working for Purelife is, the friendly team, the family feel. Being given the opportunity to be able to further my education in the care sector.
The fact that no two days are the same, the generosity of the company.

1. What motivates you to wake up and go to work everyday?
I suffer with insomnia, so sometimes motivation is hard to come by, but knowing that I will be going to work & helping my clients with their day to day activities, helping enrich their lives and just making them smile is definitely motivation!
Sometimes Im the only person they see or speak to all day, and they're always appreciative.
2. How do you make a difference at our company?
I would like to think I make a difference by being a team player. I am hard working and my clients are my main priority.
I believe that communication is key, and this is important with colleagues as well as clients.
3. What has been your favourite moment working in care?
Throughout my years working n care, there have been a few! The main always being, seeing my clients smile and happy, knowing you have made a difference, no matter how big or small, in their lives!
No matter how hard you try not to touch become attached to clients & their families, it happens, they become an important part in your life.
4. What's something people don't know about you?
I never wanted to work in care, I didn't think it was something I could do.
My late Great Nan started having carers daily, and sometimes they would arrive after me, so I would help my Nan as I didn't want to leave her in a pickle to wait. This is the moment I believed I could work in care....took me a few years before doing so...I was a cook previously!
5. What do you most like about working here?
Management are approachable & supportive.
You are appreciated & acknowledged for your hard work.
All staff I have met so far have been lovely!
The opportunities I have been given to make such a difference in people's lives.
And getting a Christmas Do! Always a bonus!
Carer
1. What motivates you to wake up and go to work everyday?
Going to work and assisting clients with a variety of tasks which helps to make their daily lives easier so they have less to worry about or become anxious about motivates me to wake up and go to work everyday.
2. How do you make a difference at our company?
I hope I make a difference to the company by always applying empathy and a duty of care to each and every client I visit which not only enriches their lives but always puts the values of the company into practice.
3. What has been your favourite moment working in care?
My favourite moment in care has been giving the time to spend with individual clients to get to know them within their home environment and to see them relax over a period of time to allow them the opportunity to share their stories, concerns, what makes them happy and what does not make them happy and to spend quality time with them to listen to what they have to say without the time constraints which i previously experienced during my time spent working in a care home setting.
4. What's something people don't know about you?
Something people don't know about me is that on a personal level i do not have a lot of self confidence and can suffer from anxiety and being given the opportunity to work with Purelife has helped me enormously as it gives me purpose in life and as mentioned earlier provides me with the opportunity to focus on others which has not only provided me with a positive outlook on life but has given me the opportunity to assist some of the wonderful clients i have met with similiar issues.
5. What do you most like about working here?
The best thing about working with Purelife is the genuine feeling of teamwork amongst both the care teams and management teams where the sharing of experiences is actively encouraged which helps us all to go and provide the best service we can to all of our lovely clients.
Carer
1. What motivates you to wake up and go to work everyday?
I wake up and fill motivated to get to work to make sure my clients are well and safe, they are often glad to see me too. Over this past year they have only really seen me. I feel that they are part of my life, and I need to keep them safe. This is what I get up for daily. And any challenges the day may bring.
2. How do you make a difference at our company?
I feel I make a difference to our company because I'm committed in all I do and will go the extra mile to help the clients to keep them from harm, to keep them safe and happy. My happy chatty face lights up a lot of clients faces. I help keep calls covered to keep our company running smooth. I'm someone who can be relied upon which makes a big difference to our company as a whole.
3. What has been your favourite moment working in care?
All the thankful gifts, all the praise and thanks from my manager and my boss. The thank you messages from the Clients and their family's. And knowing I did that to make them smile, those in themselves are moments to remember. And achieving my NVQ3
4. What’s something people don’t know about you?
I get freaked out when I see maggots and worms are just as bad, but I love slow worms and snakes! Strange yeah but true.
5. What do you most like about working here?
I can learn as I work doing the job I love and enjoy. I have support of my manager and boss and other carers when needed. And the best moment is being handed a big bunch of flowers and a big bottle of champagne and a certificate for achieving my NVQ Level 3!!!!! I thought this would never happen as I didn't do well at school, and was frequently told I will not get far by others, so to achieve this is fabulous and a moment to remember by working at Purelife.
