For many people, a workplace is simply where they spend their contracted hours. But for Kerry Jones-Stewart, Recruitment Manager at Right at Home North Cheshire, joining the team marked a turning point in both her professional and personal life. 

Belonging wasn’t something she expected to find when she transitioned into the personal care services sector during the pressures of the pandemic, yet it became the foundation that helped her thrive. Her story is not just about settling into a new job - it’s about discovering a place where she felt understood, valued, and genuinely part of something meaningful.

A Team Built on Trust and Togetherness

Kerry had experienced her fair share of environments where support was inconsistent and communication was rushed. She knew what it felt like to navigate a workplace where everyone was simply trying to get through the day in retail management. 

When she stepped into Right at Home North Cheshire, the contrast was immediate. The team culture ran deeper than polite small talk or surface-level teamwork. There was real trust - the kind that made people look out for each other even on the toughest days within specialist care.

Colleagues checked in without being prompted. Managers listened, even when schedules were tight. During recruitment peaks, when the pressure to bring in new CareGivers intensified, the atmosphere remained collaborative rather than competitive. This trust gave Kerry space to learn the role properly and to grow in confidence. 

She often explains that the support around her didn’t just make her feel comfortable; it made her want to give her very best, because she knew everyone else was doing the same.

Purpose You Can Feel Every Day

What strengthened Kerry’s sense of belonging even further was the purpose she found in her role. Recruitment in respite care is deeply personal. 

It shapes the teams who enter clients’ homes - often during vulnerable chapters of their lives - and create moments of reassurance, dignity, and safety. Kerry didn’t just feel responsible for filling these positions; she felt responsible for building teams who could deliver specialist care with compassion.

The role in care provision at Right at Home North Cheshire has the ability to transform confidence and give a new direction in life. Experiences like that reminded Kerry that every conversation, every decision, every new starter has a real and lasting impact.

A Workplace Where You Can Be Yourself

Kerry's journey shows how deeply Right at Home North Cheshire values its people, both those who provide the care and those who require it. 

Belonging isn’t treated as a bonus; it’s built into the way our whole organisation operates. For Kerry, finding that sense of fit made all the difference, and it continues to shape the way she helps others join the team.
