Say hello to Angela! 💙

If there’s laughter echoing down the corridor, chances are it’s Angela! One of our brilliant managers here at Essential Homecare, Angela is the life and soul of the team.

Before joining us, she was Head of Year at a high school in Wigan so she’s well-versed in keeping people on track (and doing it with a smile!). These days, she puts that same energy and organisation into supporting our staff and ensuring the highest standards of care for our service users.

Angela leads on much of our quality assurance work, including staff competency assessments, and she’s also one of our qualified in-house trainers. She delivers training in moving & handling, basic life support, and managing medicines and she’s a qualified moving & handling assessor for service users too.

Angela brings energy, enthusiasm, and heart to everything she does. She’s social, bubbly, and never afraid to get stuck in and we honestly wouldn’t be without her!

If you know Angela, give her a shout in the comments 👋

Meet Lynn 💙

This is our Lynn — one of the amazing managers here at Essential Homecare. Lynn takes a conscientious and methodical approach to everything she does, ensuring that every decision is made with care and compassion. She’s a huge favourite amongst our service users, who adore her calm nature and the genuine kindness she shows to everyone she meets.

Our staff know they can always turn to Lynn for support — she listens, she cares, and she always finds a way to help. With her big heart and deep love for the people of Wigan, Lynn truly goes above and beyond, giving 100% to Essential Homecare even with a busy home life.

Lynn also sets incredibly high standards for herself and the team, ensuring that the quality of care we provide is nothing short of excellent. Her dedication, leadership, and warmth have played a huge part in shaping the outstanding reputation Essential Homecare has today.

She embodies everything we stand for — compassion for others, working together, respect and dignity, openness and honesty — and leads by example every single day.

We’re so proud to have Lynn as part of our Essential Homecare family 💙

💫 Who Remembers Angela on One Born Every Minute? 💫

Yes — that’s our very own Ang Purcell! 👶💙

Before she became our incredible Registered Manager here at Essential Homecare, Ang was featured on Channel 4’s One Born Every Minute — sharing her care, crazy ways, and expertise with families during one of the most important moments of their lives.

These days, she brings that same warmth, calm, and dedication to leading our care team and supporting clients across the community.

From helping babies into the world to helping people live safely and happily at home — Ang truly has caring in her DNA. 💜

If you’ve ever met Ang, you’ll know she’s the heart of Essential Homecare — a small lady with a huge heart 💙

As our Registered Manager, Ang makes sure every part of our service runs smoothly — from supporting our wonderful care team, to ensuring that every client receives the highest standard of care. She keeps us compliant, organised, and always focused on what matters most: people.

Ang hasn’t quite given up on her love of midwifery, and somehow still finds time to keep her hand in while running Essential Homecare like a tight ship 🚢✨

We’re so grateful for her leadership, her care, and her endless dedication to our team and the people we support.

Please join us in showing some love for Ang in the comments below 💙👏
