COVID-19 has understandably magnified the need for Mental Health and Well-Being support, therefore with Sally’s career pathway and wealth of experience in the mental health sector, made her the perfect person to become Respectful Care’s first Welfare Liaison and Mental Health First Aider. This in addition to her kind, understanding, empathic nature makes her invaluable to both staff and clients throughout their journey at Respectful Care.

Sally also applies her supportive nature and qualification into her Recruitment role, ensuring newly recruitment staff are given the best possible start, whilst also ensuring safe recruitment by only selecting candidates that express a passion for caring.

Sally says - “The care staff are the unsung heroes of the care sector, and they inspire me daily by providing care and support to those that are the most vulnerable in our community. It’s an emotional but rewarding role and it takes a special kind of person to deliver this in a professional role. Throughout the pandemic, they have all delivered the support to others and at times putting their own needs last. This role is to give the care workers the opportunity to speak about how they are feeling and support them with their needs”

Branka is a fountain of knowledge in the world of care and oozes experience which she applies into her team along with a compassionate heart.

Branka has worked in the care industry since 2004 with differing roles starting as a care and support worker, to becoming a Registered Branch Manager for 8 years. Branka joined Respectful Care in September 2019 and hasn’t looked back since.

Branka says "After all these years in the care industry I have finally found a company who puts their clients at the centre, always. Nothing is ever too much. I genuinely love my job, our clients and my colleagues".

Jade joined Respectful Care in December 2019 as a Care and Support Worker. Jade has worked in the care industry for 7 years and proudly holds a Level 3 Health and Social Care qualification. Jade has a strong passion for care, putting her clients at the heart of everything she does.

Jade’s passion and enthusiasm made her the perfect candidate to progress within the company and soon within her caring role, was promoted to Staff Mentor. In January 2021 Jade was appointed Client Team Leader as this was an ideal fit for her passion and dedication, in ensuring the clients are at the centre of their care and best outcomes met.

Jade says “I want to be able to give our clients a personal experience all the way through their journey with respectful care. Knowing that you have someone to reach out to gives it that personal touch, from doing the rota’s all the way to doing client assessments and reviews for the area. I would love for staff to feel confident that they can come to me to get the support they need with their rota’s and any client concerns. I will be there to support all the way.”

Shannon’s calming nature and mature attitude are what makes her a wonderful asset to our Client Relationship Manager team.

Grace says “I work extremely close with the clients and families within my team, to ensure they receive the support they need. I pride my skills on having the courage to advocate on behalf of our clients and will always source support from other agencies, making their lives as comfortable and happy, as possible.”

Hari is our newest Client Relationship Manager and has quickly proven that building relationships with our clients is the most important thing.

Hari joined Respectful Care, following a previous care role and understating the need for person-centred care. Hari has worked in different sectors; however, care is where his heart is and since working in care Hari doesn’t see himself doing anything else.

Hari says “having a job that makes a difference is why I get up every day. The Client relationship Manager role allows me to do just that, there is nothing quite like seeing a smile on a clients face."
