💚 MEET JUSTINE — THE PERSON BEHIND THE SCRUBS
We’ve introduced lots of our lovely team on here, and you’ve seen plenty of Hannah and me along the way…
But we realised we’ve never really told you much about who we are when we’re not wearing the uniform.
So I suppose it’s my turn. 😂💚
I’m Justine — one half of With YOU in Mind Community Care.
I’m a wife to Jamie, a very proud mum to three girls, and currently owned by two Border Collies and two cats. 🐾
If it were entirely up to me, there would be considerably more animals living in our house. 😂 Thankfully, I’m regularly reminded that apparently we do not need another one.
I’m a huge family person and happiest when I’m around my people — Jamie, my girls, our family and our friends. 💚
They ground me. When work is busy and my head is full of a million things, being with them is where I properly switch off, relax and just do our thing.
I love our holidays together, days out, get-togethers — but equally the completely ordinary times where we’re doing nothing particularly exciting. Those are often the moments I love most.
And I laugh. A lot. 😂
I have a different laugh for practically every occasion — including, unfortunately, occasions where laughing probably isn’t appropriate.
I’m also absolutely incapable of hiding what I’m thinking.
My facial expressions usually finish the conversation before I’ve even opened my mouth. 👀😂
But underneath all of that, there’s something that’s shaped the nurse I am and the business we’ve created.
I care deeply about people.
I tend to put others before myself, I want the best for people, and when I believe something isn’t right, I struggle to simply stand back and accept it.
I’m stubborn.
Very stubborn. 😂
But I’ve realised over the years that stubbornness can actually be quite useful when you’re advocating for somebody who needs someone firmly in their corner.
I’ve always wanted my own care business. For years, I just didn’t know exactly what that would look like.
Then someone very special in our family needed care at home.
Jamie’s Nannan had some genuinely wonderful carers, but as a family we also experienced significant gaps in the leadership and management surrounding her care.
Seeing that from the family’s side changed something for me.
I kept thinking:
There has to be a better way to do this.
And suddenly, the care business I’d imagined for years had a direction.
I wanted to build what I felt was the missing piece.
A service that doesn’t simply send somebody through the door to complete a list of tasks, but one where there is strong leadership behind the carers, good communication with families, accountability when something isn’t right and people who genuinely care about the standard of support being delivered.
Because someone’s home isn’t just a building.
It’s their memories.
Their belongings.
Their routines.
Their family.
Their life.
And if good care can help somebody remain safely amongst all of that, with the people and things they love, for as long as possible, then I think they deserve the very best care we can give them.
I’m also incredibly passionate about choice.
People should understand their options. They should have the facts and knowledge they need to make informed decisions about their own care.
And wherever possible, they should have a genuine say in who provides it.
That’s something I’ll always advocate for. 💚
So that’s a little bit about the person behind the business…
Mum. Wife. Nurse. Huge family person. Animal collector (apparently on a strict limit 😂). Inappropriately timed laugher. Terrible poker face. And a very stubborn advocate when it matters.
And now, I’m co-owner of the care company I spent years imagining I’d create one day.
With YOU in Mind Community Care. 💚
I’m incredibly proud of what Hannah and I have built so far — our team, the families who’ve trusted us and the kind of care we’re becoming known for.
And we’re still only at the beginning. 💚
