Jo

Carer for Team Farnham

In early 2024, Jo made a slight career change and joined the Right at Home team. Before coming to the Farnham team, she worked as a registered childminder and a teaching assistant, so she simply shifted her caring nature to a different age group. Jo's compassionate approach has helped her build wonderful relationships with both clients and colleagues. She's always ready to lend a hand and truly makes a difference in the lives of the people she cares for.
