“Charlie demonstrates a clear commitment to working in a person‑centred and ethical manner. She conducts herself professionally, communicates respectfully, and shows insight into the importance of collaboration and good decision‑making within complex services. Charlie is well organised, reliable, and thoughtful in her approach, and she balances focus and efficiency with warmth and humour. She is able to build rapport easily and creates a supportive atmosphere around her, which is a real strength in client‑focused roles.”

Barry Lehane
Head of Case Management and Rehabilitation
Empowering U

Charlie supported a client who became a bilateral above‑knee amputee following a fall and subsequent medical negligence, as her injuries were not appropriately investigated or treated with X‑ray imaging. This resulted in severe infection and ultimately the loss of both limbs. The client required extensive, holistic support, including sourcing and moving into suitably adapted wheelchair‑accessible accommodation, receiving wheelchair skills guidance and training, and accessing appropriate physiotherapy. Charlie also ensured emotional and psychological support was in place to help the client adjust to life‑changing injuries.

As the client was no longer able to continue in her previous employment, Charlie provided support with benefits applications and explored future retraining options. To maintain the client’s skills, confidence, and social engagement, volunteering opportunities and social groups were identified to reduce social isolation. In addition, Charlie coordinated a comprehensive daily care package to fully meet the client’s ongoing physical and practical needs.

Charlie enjoys a vibrant mix of hobbies, from spending quality time with family and crafting creative cocktails to expressing style through home restoration and design.  With a love for live music and nature, Charlie also finds joy in line dancing and the refreshing escape of wild swimming.

What our Community has to say...
"Empowering U have been part of my life since 2022 after I had problems with another care company who stopped my care without any notice. They were the only care company who was willing to give me a second chance. Since I have become one of their service users I think of them more as an adopted family than my carers. After losing both my parents Empowering U have been there for me helping me get through attempted suicide and self-harming thoughts if it was not for their care and passion I would not be here today. One thing I can say is Empowering U have put up with me and not let me down, any problems I have I can speak to any member of their team and they will listen to me and treat me with respect, I cannot praise them enough."
From a service user
"Prior to joining this company, I had never worked in the field of care. However, from the moment I started, I discovered my passion for the job. Engaging with the service users, being actively involved in their care, has brought me immense joy ever since. Building trust with them, understanding their preferences, and empowering them to choose activities they enjoy has been a rewarding experience for me over the past three years."
Darren | Team Leader at Willenhall
"I am thrilled to be a part of the Empowering U team, motivated by its mission to provide accessible and inclusive support for the personal growth and development of all staff. As I approach my two-year milestone, I am grateful for the management's unwavering commitment to fostering a culture of empathy, understanding, and staff wellbeing. It's a rare privilege to work alongside exceptional leaders and a dedicated team that shares a passion for making a meaningful impact in the lives of service users."
