My name is Vanessa, and I started working with Helping Hands in December 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Since starting my role, I\u2019ve enjoyed using my nursing skills in a new way which has been rewarding. I have worked in the nursing and social care industry since 2010, and I continue to dedicate myself to making sure that every individual I support receives exceptional, safe care.<\/p>\n<p>My career has been driven by my passion for nursing and a deep commitment to providing high-quality, compassionate care. I find fulfilment in making a tangible difference in the lives of other people, and I am always motivated when I see them happy and content with the care and support I provide. I trained at Imperial NHS Trust, St Mary\u2019s Hospital in Paddington London between 2007-2010. During my training, I gained lots of skills and knowledge which helped me develop into the Registered Nurse I am today. When I qualified in 2010, I was employed at St Mary\u2019s Hospital and initially worked on an infectious disease ward, where I developed my skills and knowledge in HIV and TB, PEG feeding, catheter care, bowel care, and palliative care.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n        \n        \n        \n        \n        \n        \n\n        \n    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n\n                    <!-- Column 2: Media -->\n            <div class=\"col-lg-5 col-12\">\n\n                                    <div class=\"w-100 h-100 position-relative overflow-hidden rounded-4 hh-defer-wrap\">\n                        \t\t\t<img\n\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/www.helpinghandshomecare.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/vanessa-ogiesewu_3x4.webp\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tsrcset=\"https:\/\/www.helpinghandshomecare.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/vanessa-ogiesewu_3x4.webp 360w, https:\/\/www.helpinghandshomecare.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/vanessa-ogiesewu_3x4-238x300.webp 238w\"\n\t\t\t\t\tsizes=\"100vw\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\talt=\"A woman with neatly styled hair smiles at the camera, wearing a white collared shirt under a grey jumper and a purple lanyard, standing in front of a textured stone wall.\"\n\t\t\t\tclass=\"img-fluid w-100 rounded-4\"\n\t\t\t\tloading=\"eager\"\n\t\t\t\tdecoding=\"async\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t                        <div class=\"hh-skeleton rounded-4\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                                \n            <\/div>\n        \n    <\/div>\n            <div class=\"row mt-lg-l mt-m\">\n            <div class=\"col-12 acf-wysiwyg-reset\">\n                <p>Between July 2019 and November 2024, I decided to join a nursing agency to explore and learn more in different areas of nursing. This also gave me flexibility to choose my own working hours and days, due to having a young daughter to look after. During my time as an agency nurse, I worked in various areas \u2013 inpatient and outpatient rehab units, holiday homes for people with learning disabilities, and ward-based nursing. I also stayed on as a bank nurse at the nursing home where I\u2019d worked permanently and was always happy to work when they needed me for a bit of extra help.<\/p>\n<p>In 2020, during the COVID pandemic, I took a job as an agency community nurse at the North East London Foundation Trust, where I worked in various community locality clinics. I developed my skills further in wound care, diabetes management, compression therapy and more.<\/p>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"content-type":"","_glsr_average":0,"_glsr_ranking":0,"_glsr_reviews":0,"medium_featured_image":0,"small_featured_image":0,"extra_small_featured_image":0,"footnotes":""},"page_category":[],"class_list":["post-353348","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.8 (Yoast SEO v26.8) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Meet Vanessa Ogiesewu | Helping Hands<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Meet Louise Bradley, Regional Care Director for our new branches.
