Our Care Team
We ensure that all our staff are trained by providing training internally or sending them on courses if required. We use CM2000. This allows our staff to electronically log when they arrive for a session and leave the clients home by allowing the staff to dial a freephone number from the clients house to register the beginning and end of each session.

Vierka has been Managing Director of Care Horizons since 2017, providing bespoke assistance for people with learning difficulties and mental health needs. “I tell my clients all the time not to worry. Let me worry about it and we’ll work it out,” she says.
Vierka’s greatest satisfaction is when clients and their families visit the Care Horizons office for a cup of tea. “It’s a wonderful, positive atmosphere,” she says. “It’s never about what our clients lack; it’s about what they have and how we can help them use that to their advantage.”

Parlimentary Review 2018
“I am proud to have committed to ensuring that our staff members are all trained to achieve their full potential. When I took over Care Horizons Ltd, I instigated an individualised training plan for each staff member, including QCF qualification training. I apply the same standards to myself – I have trained for, and have become, a coach and mentor for both business and life skills. I hold recognised qualifications, and I know how positive empathy should be put into coaching and mentoring. I am also offering all our staff one-to-one mentoring/coaching every month for these skills, as well as a business coaching and mentoring service to other companies.”
