Philippa and Lesley started Enabling Care For You in 2013.

She had worked with Lesley in her residential home in Plaxtol, Sevenoaks, for several years. Philippa was a manager in this residential setting. After the birth of her youngest child, Philippa had a calling to work in the community.

Philippa worked for a mental health charity for two years before applying to work with KCC Commercial Service’s flagship care agency.

Philippa progressed within 6 months from a branch manager to a Registered Manager of Kent and Brighton, and was also promoted to Area Manager.

Currently undertaking her Level 7 Diploma in Health and Social Care Management, Philippa has a proven record of combining academic learning with practical expertise. She completed her Level 5 NVQ in Leadership for Health and Social Care in 2008, following earlier achievements of Levels 2, 3, and 4 in Care.

She loved the challenge of managing an agency but felt she could do it better, so she approached Lesley. This is how Enabling Care For You was created.

Philippa brings with her over 20 years of experience in care.

Enabling Care For You specialises in looking after adults with palliative care or long-term health conditions.

Lesley worked in care in residential settings for many years whilst she had a young family.

Lesley decided to set up her own residential home within her own family home in 1994. This grew from one client to 5 and closed in 2017, after 24 years, due to family logistics.

Lesley became more involved in the day-to-day running of Enabling Care For You.

Lesley holds the Registered Manager’s Award (RMA) and has completed Levels 2, 3, and 4 in Health and Social Care, reflecting both her practical skill and her leadership ability. Lesley brings with her over 30 years of experience in different care settings.

She supports recruitment, onboarding, staff compliance, and handles a wide range of HR queries, often being the first point of contact for staff. She manages this with efficiency, professionalism, and a calm, practical approach.

Amelia’s background in the field sets her apart. Having spent five years as a Clinical Support Worker, she understands the realities of care work first-hand. This experience allows her to provide meaningful, informed support to staff, ensuring decisions are grounded in real-life practice not just policy.

Amy began her working career in retail, but after some time realised she wanted a more rewarding and hands-on role where she could truly make a difference. This led her to change career paths and move into the care sector, starting in a care home setting. There, she supported older adults and those under 65 living with dementia, physical disabilities or requiring residential or nursing care.

While Amy loved this work, she was keen to broaden her skills and support people with more complex needs. She transitioned into community care, where she has spent the past seven years providing highly clinical and complex support in people’s homes.

Amy’s commitment, loyalty and consistently person-centred approach have earned her excellent feedback from clients, families and colleagues alike. In recognition of her dedication and expertise, she completed her Level 3 qualification in Health and Social Care and is preparing to undertake her Level 5.

Recently promoted to Team Leader, Amy now supports both clients and staff in the field while also taking on additional responsibilities from the office. Her wealth of experience, clinical knowledge and compassionate leadership make her an invaluable member of the team.

She is confident in managing challenging situations, supporting care staff in the field, and working closely with clients and families to ensure the best possible outcomes.

In her current role as a Team Leader within the office, Vicki plays a key role in the day-to-day running of services. However, she is far from desk-bound. She is regularly out in the field carrying out spot checks, supporting staff during care calls, and ensuring that standards are not just talked about, but consistently delivered. She provides hands-on guidance, observes care delivery in real time, and steps in when needed, offering reassurance and practical support to both staff and clients.
