DIRECTOR & REGISTERED MANAGER
“I started out as a community carer 14 years ago! I worked for a number of years in the community before I was promoted to senior carer. I was not in the senior position long when I was approached and asked if I was happy to accept the promotion to Care Delivery Manager, which I was. Although this is an incredibly hard industry to work in, I believe it is also one of the most rewarding jobs out there. I have provided care on both a professional and a personal level, so when I say I understand your worries, I am being sincere. I have been in your shoes, and that is the reasons I am dedicated to ensuring our service users and their loved ones feel safe and supported. I absolutely love my job, I feel honoured to be a part of our service user’s journey and helping them achieve their goals. My team here at Walker & Harrison Care is amazing! I would genuinely let each one of them support my own loved ones should they need it. We will never stop investing in our team, watching them grow has been a privilege, and I am so proud to have them on my team.”

director & operations manager
“I started in care in 2007. 15 years ago, I started in a care home for adults with learning difficulties and I absolutely loved it. After a number of years, I was ready to start moving up and making a career. I tried a couple of different things, but found the only thing I seem to be good at is caring for people. I had no experience in the home care industry, but somehow managed to get a job as a Care Delivery Manager. This is when I met Amy, and we have been close friends ever since. Even when I left the company to look after my dad we kept in touch, Amy provided the carers to help assist with my dad’s care. We are dedicated to only employing staff that we would allow, to care for our own family members. I helped look after my dad for a number of years before he passed away. It was through this personal experience that I became passionate about making a difference and changing the focus within the home care industry. We wanted to scale it back, slow things down and remember we are working with people not products! We refuse to become money driven; our service users and staff will always be our number one priority here at Walker & Harrison Care. Not only that, but we genuinely just want to help people. In my opinion, care is the hardest but most rewarding job someone could do. I have the most amazing team and could not be prouder as I watch them grow into the amazing SKILLED Home Care Assistants that they are.”

Deputy Manager
“I have worked in the care sector for over 10 years and through this time have gained lots of experience in different areas of the care sector. I initially started out as a domiciliary care assistant at 18; this is where I met Terriann and Amy for the first time! I worked hard and years passed, eventually I worked my way to a Care co-ordinator. Likewise, I loved my job! Eventually being a mum to a young daughter, moving home etc. forced a career change and for the next few years, I worked in a residential care setting. I was happy and content, but I always missed my roots, working in domiciliary care. When I saw, Amy share a post on Facebook promoting Walker and Harrison Care! I immediately sent her a message and arranged to meet with her and Terriann the following week. I finally felt I was back where I belonged! Furthermore, I have been with Walker and Harrison care a couple of years now, and I can honestly say I have never enjoyed going to work so much. Providing exceptional care is a real passion of mine. Now I have the support and platform to not only provide this myself but also mould our new employees into the best Care Assistants, supporting them in their personal journeys, giving them room and empower them to grow. Both Amy and Terriann have pushed me to realise my full potential and are supporting me through my NVQ5! Watching and being part of Walker and Harrison Care, growing into the incredible provider, it has been a true blessing. I genuinely believe each one of our staff are such amazing, caring individuals. My trust in our staff couldn’t have been proven any more until this year when my own Nanna needed care at home. It was without question she would have Walker and Harrison Care, and she genuinely has a new lease on life since starting her care package. I will be forever grateful to Terriann and Amy for giving me the opportunity and believing in me every step of the way. It has been life changing and I have friends for life. I will be forever grateful for my Walker and Harrison care family.”
