Meet Our Team

About our Acacia Angels

Our Acacia Angels are specially selected to join our team of carers through our rigorous recruitment process.  They are the foundation of our organisation and we provide them with all the necessary training required to ensure that your care is given safely.

An Acacia Angel is naturally passionate about giving to others, genuine, kind and compassionate.  No matter what your care needs are they will ensure that you are comfortable and treat you with dignity and respect.

We know it can be daunting to allow a stranger to come into your home so we will introduce you to our team straight away and the Acacia Angels will put you at ease so you can start to build a bond between you.

Meet the Acacia Angels

Kajal Patel Kajal Patel

“Hi I’m Kajal and I am the Care Manager here at Acacia Homecare. I have been in the care sector since I was 17. As well as managing the team in the office, I also visit customers in their own homes as I feel it’s always nice to put a face to the name. My job is to ensure that the care we provide is of the highest standards. Going out and meeting customers is the most rewarding part of my role.”

Gita Mistry-Patel Gita Mistry-Patel

“Hi, I’m Gita and initially I was part of the rota planning and administration team, then not long after, I was offered the role of a Recruitment and Training Lead and now I am the Operations Manager. I had no care industry experience before I started but I have since learnt a lot and understand that compassion and dignity is so important in this role. My background is in retail and I am also a Bollywood dance teacher. Every day at Acacia Homecare is busy and I am always ready for any challenges and will happily adapt to any situations that arise. I really do enjoy working here at Acacia Homecare.”

Dee Kaur Dee Kaur

“Hi there, I’m Dee and I have been with Acacia since 2015 having first joined as a care worker. Soon after, I joined the office team as a care coordinator and then moved onto a recruitment role. I am now the Live in Care Lead and my role involves doing the care assessment for new customers, recruiting the right live-in carer to suit their needs and being the point of contact for both our live-in carers and customers. I really enjoy my role as I have experienced various aspects of the business and can provide a much better service for our customers through my first hand knowledge and understanding of the different care requirements that we may come across.”

Lauren Lipscombe

“Hello all, I am Lauren and I was working with Acacia Homecare part time on the weekends as a care worker. I then joined the Rota Planning and Administration team, helping with the rota, recruitment and social media based in the office. I am now a Customer Care Lead. I am a natural carer, so after seeing my mum (Sarah L) become an Acacia Angel, it felt really natural to join her. Looking after people is definitely my thing! I am excited to be involved in the other aspects of the business and still be a part of the Acacia family.”

Dianne Corrigan

“Hello, I am Dianne and I was part of the Rota planning and Administration team and then got promoted to the Recruitment and Training Lead. I came into care very late, actually in the last 8yrs, I have experienced working in a domiciliary care setting and also a care home setting. I started my career as a carer and progressed to senior carer and further along became a care supervisor. I am passionate about people receiving the best care and support, while promoting their respect and dignity. Care is such a rewarding job and I couldn’t see myself not working in the care industry.”
