Care Manager - Kirsty Worrall

Kirsty Worrall is our Care Manager and has been with the company since the beginning in 2007.

Kirsty has been employed in the care sector since 1991 mainly in a hands-on role.  In that time she has worked for a range of nursing homes and community based care agencies.

Kirsty began her employment with Home Instead as a Caregiver providing care to our very first client.  She chose to join Home Instead as it gave her the time to provide the level of one-to-one care that she had been unable to offer in her work with other companies.

In October 2007 Kirsty moved from providing care, to a role in the office as our Staff Co-ordinator.  Then in April 2010 Kirsty became our Care Manager and is now responsible for the day to day management of the care services we offer to our clients.

Outside of the office Kirsty enjoys spending time with her Husband and 2 Children and is involved with junior football and BMX racing. She is also a devoted supporter of her local football team, Crewe Alexandra.
