About Clare

We would like to introduce you to Clare Harding, the Registered Care Manager for Radfield Home Care Chester & Ellesmere Port.

What is your background prior to joining Radfield?

I have over a decade of experience in care, starting out as a care professional. Over the years, I progressed to a field care supervisor and assistant care manager.

How has your background prepared you for your new role at RHC?

I started my career in care as a part time care professional. When I moved over to the care sector full time I was promoted to field care supervisor, then to assistant care manager and on to registered care manager. Starting as a care professional has meant that I understand the challenges that the care professionals face every day. I still enjoy delivering care and being out and about supporting the care professionals, clients and their families.

What has inspired you to want to be involved in the adult social care sector?

I have always enjoyed helping people and spend a lot of time with my grandma and her friends when I was a child. I was a manager in the catering sector for many years. I then went on to apply to be a part time care professional, quickly discovering that I had found the perfect career path and moved over to the care sector full time. I enjoy putting a smile on the clients faces and going home with a feeling that I had made a difference in someone’s day.

How do you feel your role, and your experience, will benefit Radfield’s clients?

Throughout my career, I have completed every role in the field and in the office within Domiciliary Care. This has provided me with good overall knowledge of every part of the business. As a care professional I especially enjoyed delivering end of life care and dementia care to clients. I have extensive knowledge and experience that our clients can benefit from. I am dedicated to delivering outstanding care to our clients and their families. To help our clients to live in their own homes with their memories for as long as possible.
