All workers are directly employed by Helping Hands, we have a rigorous recruitment procedure to make sure that we only employ people who are caring and have the right qualities to work with people in their own homes.

My story ……..

By Rosemary Witherby (Managing Director)

My passion and commitment for the services that Helping Hands provides is as a direct result of caring for my own mother. She was one of the first people to have complex drug treatments at home. The Royal Devon and Exeter hospital produced a video documentary, filming us as a family around the breakfast table, to show how you could live with cancer and be with your family at home. This has stayed with me throughout my career and we strive to provide services that are of the quality we would want for our own family
