⭐️ Meet the team ⭐️
Hello, my name is Jeanette Phillips, and I am the CEO/Founder of Flexicare UK Ltd. In 1997, after three years of planning, I founded Flexicare UK. At that time, social care was unregulated and compromised of short visits and tasks to complete.
Over the last 27 years, I have enjoyed the challenge of steering Flexicare UK to achieve "Outstanding" status through policy and safe practice, ensuring that person-centered and relational support is successfully delivered within our Hubs and Hublets. I enjoy working with my excellent team here at Flexicare UK and also with my colleagues at DHSC/Skills for Care. We are a pilot site for integrated care/support in the UK.
Next year will mark my 50th year in nursing. I qualified as an RGN in 1981, specializing in Elderly Care and Orthopaedic Nursing. I completed a Post Graduate Certificate at Birmingham University in 2013, in Public Sector Commissioning. I am passionate about movement and enabling the correlation between movement and health, having lectured in Social Care for 30 years. I really enjoy bringing health and well-being to the community through our Hubs and Hublets and have spent over a decade in research and development.
I have two lovely daughters, Anna and Jenna, who oversee Finance and Operations at Flexicare UK Ltd and have supported me unconditionally during the company's growth. I live in a cottage with my partner, Mark, and my dog and cat, Bella and Freda. I have worked as a de facto volunteer leader in the public sector, helping executives in Health and Social Care work together.
I am a member of the Leaders Council of Great Britain and have assisted with authoring the Levelling Up Agenda for the UK Government, encouraging different "Thinking and Doing" in Social Care. Outside of work, I love spending time with family and grandchildren, traveling the world to visit friends in Australia and the US (including research trips), gardening, painting, playing the guitar, ballroom dancing, and knitting baby blankets.
I love nurturing a new generation with my grandchildren's learning experiences. In the last six months, I have taken up netball and propose to continue my health and well-being practice within the company moving forward as part of my nursing CPD.
