We couldn’t start our ‘meet the team’ series without starting with where our company all began. And that’s down to this lady right here.

Heidi is our registered manager and daily inspiration to drive Good Companions forward. Heidi has over 20 years experience in the care industry specialising in Dementia, Alzheimers and Parkinson care.

After experiencing first hand the challenge of caring for a loved one at home, she created Good Companions as she felt so passionate about supporting others who may be struggling out there.

From starting out solo, Heidi now has a team of regular and bank staff working alongside her to provide care and companionship services to the good people of Spalding.

Heidi is currently studying for an HND in health and social care management.

Heidi says…
“As a company our belief is that to care and support others is a vocation and is born from truly feeling empathy, compassion and kindness to others. We care not only our clients but also their families/loved ones too. Here at Good Companions, we offer a holistic support service from our heart to yours.”

Thank you Heidi for all that you do!

I am a member of our Bank team and supports the team with adhoc shifts to help cover as needed… Which, is quite often weekends and evenings!!

I am also a teacher but I really love my bank work with Good Companions – Helping out the team and the clients is really rewarding.

In the spare time I have, I enjoy glamping, swimming, reading and am a bit of a film expert too!!

With over 5 years in the care industry I love the job today as much as I did when I first started. I love working with wonderful, interesting people that I met through my job, it makes me happy that I can make someone’s day a little easier and sometimes less lonely.

Outside of work I enjoy the great outdoors, going away in our motorhome in all seasons and spending time with my family.

I have over 16 years of care experience and I’ve been with Good Companions for over 2 years. I joined as a personal assistant, and I’ve built strong relationships with our clients over that time. Jenny has had such a successful journey with Good Companions she was recently promoted to Care Champion. I love every part of my job from supporting the amazing clients we look after to supporting the rest of the team in my role as care champion. I look forward to celebrating my 3-year anniversary with Good Companions very soon.

I have been working in the care setting for about 5 years. I have worked in many roles including care assistant, laundry assistant, domestic assistant and kitchen assistant. I love my job because it feels like I’m going to visit my relatives in their homes and help them out and I love chatting with them. By the end of the day, it feels like I’ve done something good and it’s very rewarding.

I have been working for 6 months as a care worker. I have chosen this job role because I like being with people, listening to their stories, and helping them.

I’ve been in care for nearly 30 years on and off. I’ve been working with Good Companions since June 2024.

I’m a very kind, positive, caring and passionate lady and I LOVE my job. If you need help of any kind, then I look forward to meeting you.

I have been with Good Companions for over a year now. It was a complete career change for me after working in a primary school for nearly 15 years since leaving school myself. I have enjoyed my new role as a carer and like giving my time to the service users, knowing it is helping their daily life and hopefully making them feel good about their day.

I have found the company great to work for and nothing is ever too much for them, they go above and beyond for their service users and staff.

I’m celebrating 5 amazing years as a carer! The fulfilment I get from making a difference in others’ lives is truly priceless. Here’s to more smiles and heartfelt moments!

I joined Good Companions in May 2024. This is the first time I have been in the care industry. One of the reasons that I joined care is that I felt I had more to give and what better way than to pay it back into the community. It’s very rewarding.

I’ve been working in care for over 6 years. Previously, I had worked with children as a nanny and in a playgroup and a nursery. I joined Good Companions in March 2024 and it’s been such a good decision as this company seem to care about their staff and we are not just a number on a tick box we are made to feel valued by management and the clients. I look forward to work each day which is a great feeling. All the other carer’s are fantastic and work as a team making it a great place to work.

I have worked in care for 26 years and have always enjoyed caring and supporting people, I have worked with people with Dementia and Alzheimer’s, learning difficulties and challenging behaviours and people with mental health and worked in hospital and care homes within a senior role, working with good companions has given me a different view on care, giving people choice to stay in their own homes and given them the best care and support for them and their families.

I am a Care Co-ordinator and I joined Good Companions in March 2024. My background is in finance and administration. I met Heidi when my own mum needed extra support at home. I was so impressed on how the team helped my mum I wanted to learn more. I initially started as a Support Worker and then became a full time member of the office team. This has been a wonderful change of career for me which I really enjoy. I still go out on companionship and care calls so I can still meet all the lovely people we help to support. To be there to support service users and their families is always a privilege.

I have just joined Good Companions and what a refreshing and great approach to Care and Companionship. The team are really friendly, and everyone goes that extra mile to make sure our service users are happy, fully supported to stay in their lovely homes and feel safe in doing so. I’m really relishing getting the fabulous work of our team out there and helping them celebrate their successes.

I have been in care since March 2018. I joined care as I wanted a career change and I haven’t looked back since. I am so passionate about my job, I love to know I have made even a tiny difference to someone’s day. Since joining Good Companions I have never been happier, we are all like one big family.

I’ve been working for Good Companions for two months, but have previous experience in domiciliary care for 4 years. I have always cared for my mother who has cerebral palsy, and that is what made me realise care is what I wanted to do. I love supporting people to live in their own homes, where they are happy and can live their lives their way. I enjoy working for Good Companions because it gives me the time with each person to really care for them, get to know them and support them in the best way I can, which is something I haven’t had at other care companies.

I have been working for Good Companions for over a year and I think of this opportunity as the most precious gift . Let the beauty of what you love be what you do.

I joined Good Companions in February 2024 I was previously working as a cleaner and realised I wanted to help as much as possible which is why I wanted to start care, I love every minute of my job I hope that I can help make there day brighter and happier whilst I am there. Everyone at Good Companions has been amazing and it truly feels like we are part of a family work team!
