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.
