Welcome to

Ribble Valley Crossroads Care

Our People

We are proud of our team; they are what makes Crossroads special.

Our team stay with us, indeed our longest members have been with us 19 and 17 years respectively!

PROVIDING SPECIALIST SUPPORT TO CARERS IN THEIR OWN HOMES, GIVING CARERS TIME FOR THEMSELVES FOR OVER 30 YEARS

When we recruit new staff we are looking for people whose values match ours – although skills are a bonus, we can teach skills. What can’t be taught is values.

For this reason, we are very selective and will interview thoroughly to ensure new members to the team will deliver the care, compassion, dignity and respect that all our clients deserve. We invite clients to join us on our interview panel. Please get in touch if you would be interested in being part of our interview panel.

Grace has dedicated two decades working tirelessly for Crossroads and is a fountain of knowledge on clients, care workers, supporters and projects throughout our history. With today’s challenges in social care funding, Grace keeps a close eye on our finances, ensuring we continue to be able to support hundreds of people in need across the Ribble Valley. For carers and clients who are unsure about Rolling Respite, Free funding and costs of care then Grace is a great resource of support.

Julie brings the needs of clients and Carer Support Workers together, ensuring that there is continuity of care. Julie will move heaven and earth to help our clients in need and is great at problem-solving tricky diary planning!

Senior Carer Support Workers and Carer Support Workers

Our Carer Support Workers truly want to care and they tend to stay with us for a long time! Our longest serving Carer Support Workers has been with us 17 years. When new staff come for an interview, most often it is because they’ve spoken to a team member whose told them we are a good employer, look after their staff and believe in real care for the clients we support.

Our Carer Support Workers all have continuous training and development, with dementia and end of life care key to their specialities.
