A warm welcome to Gurmeet into the office team as Scheduler!

We are thrilled to announce the latest addition to our office team here at Home Instead: Gurmeet! Many of you may already know Gurmeet as one of our dedicated Care Professionals, but he has now taken on a new role as Scheduler. Gurmeet has lived in Egham for 10 years and is in his third year with Home Instead. Prior to joining us, Gurmeet worked as a postmaster and later as a print manager for British Gas, where he gained valuable experience as a scheduler.

Drawing from his background blended with his experience giving outstanding care the Home Instead way, Gurmeet was keen to enhance the personalised touch to scheduling that Home Instead is known for. Transitioning to the office team fulfils Gurmeet’s desire to combine his scheduling skills with a deep understanding of the personal connection that is crucial for our clients and their families. Having had the opportunity to experience the wonderful office atmosphere and team camaraderie, Gurmeet feels that he is getting the best of both worlds with his new hat on. He thrives under pressure and is eagerly looking forward to his pivotal role as a scheduler… bringing happiness and peace of mind to our clients, their families, and our care professionals.

Outside of work, Gurmeet is an incredibly artistic individual. He is a skilled henna artist and shares his talent with the Sikh community, making weddings truly beautiful. His creativity extends to baking as well, where he specialises in creating beautiful and intricate wedding cakes and flower arrangements. In addition, Gurmeet takes part in charity work, raising funds for NISHKAM SWAT, a Sikh charity that feeds the homeless. His kindness and generous spirit truly reflect the values we uphold here at Home Instead.

Currently, Gurmeet is undergoing training and eagerly awaits the opportunity to dive into his new role. Although he will predominantly be based in the office, Gurmeet will maintain close contact with clients, their families, and care professionals through his day-to-day interactions. He will also spend time with existing and new clients as part of our on-call rota, allowing him to get to know everyone personally. This deep understanding of their interests and personalities will enable Gurmeet to fulfil his critical role in carefully and lovingly matching clients and care professionals.

Please join us in welcoming Gurmeet to his new position as Scheduler. We are confident that his skills, compassion, and dedication will contribute to the seamless operation of our services and the continued provision of outstanding care.
