▶ Watch Intro

"Hi, I’m Barry. I have a very outgoing personality and am a dedicated carer committed to providing the best possible care. I started out as a carer and worked my way up to becoming the registered manager of a home in Horsham. I have KFS, so I have dealt with various issues throughout my life and have worked with individuals of all ages and needs, including children and adults with mental health challenges. As a registered care manager, I successfully increased my home's success rate from 27% to 86%. I recruited and retained care staff effectively. I have also worked in domiciliary care as a field care supervisor, managing teams of care workers, and in residential homes. Additionally, I have experience as a private PA, managing a team of six staff to care for a client with complex needs arising from severe MS, where I administered medications, developed care plans, and conducted risk assessments. I enjoy cooking, ironing, and cleaning. I keep my flu jabs and COVID vaccinations updated, as I believe that ensuring my clients' safety and reducing the risk of viruses is vital to the care industry. I have experience in various areas of care, from PEG feeds to acquired brain trauma, dementia and Alzheimer's to learning difficulties and mental health issues. I am happy to discuss any requirements you may have, as I always ensure my care is person-centred."

🏅 Top-Rated Local Carer

"My practice is firmly rooted in a person-centred approach, ensuring that individuals' preferences and requirements are consistently respected and met. I am committed to fostering a supportive and welcoming environment in which clients feel valued and at ease, ultimately enhancing their physical and emotional well-being. With over thirty years of experience in social care, I bring a wealth of expertise to my work. My career began as a carer, after which I established and managed my own company for twenty-four years. Caring for others has been the cornerstone of my professional life, and following my retirement from administrative responsibilities, I have relished the opportunity to return to direct client engagement. Throughout my tenure as a business owner, I maintained active involvement with my clients, regularly undertaking shifts alongside my staff to remain connected to those under our care. I have extensive experience supporting individuals living with dementia, complex care needs, and those requiring end-of-life care. In addition, I am proficient in personal grooming and take pride in assisting clients to look and feel their best. My skills include supporting clients with personal care, nutrition, meal preparation, household maintenance, and administrative tasks. I hold a full, clean driving licence and enjoy facilitating shopping trips, recreational outings, and opportunities for social engagement. In my personal time, I enjoy walking with my three dogs, gardening, and cooking, with a particular passion for baking. Please feel free to contact me if you believe I may assist you or your loved ones in maintaining an active and independent lifestyle within the comfort of their own home. I am happy to travel within a 10-mile radius of my local area; any mileage over this will be charged at 45p per mile. Additional costs can be discussed and agreed upon prior to service."
