NEW HORIZONS
Moonrise 24Hr Recruitment is planning further expansion after opening a new office in York
A
24-hour care provider that launched in Stockton-on-Tees more than 10 years ago is branching out with a new office in York – and plans to serve even more local authority areas across the UK.
Moonrise 24Hr Recruitment, which provides high-quality, individualised care to people of all ages in a variety of settings, from their own homes to care facilities, is going from strength to strength after becoming a trusted name for care in the Tees Valley region.
Now, the firm plans to expand the care it already offers in areas such as Scarborough, Hambleton and Thirsk, to cover the whole of North Yorkshire from its dedicated York office.
“ It’ s an exciting time for Moonrise,” says Jessica Gwaringa, the firm’ s managing director.
“ We were already working with North Yorkshire County Council, but having a dedicated office in York will make things easier for staff in those areas and allows us to access more work opportunities in this region, where we are expanding our client base and the staff.
“ Our service is becoming better known, with the same reputation as we have here in the Tees Valley.
“ We have worked hard to increase our services across the Tees Valley and we are so proud of the dedication and professionalism of our team – and now is the time to reach further, to be able to deliver our services to more individuals and make an even bigger impact in people’ s lives.”
Known for its compassionate and personcentred approach, Moonrise is proud to be expanding its footprint beyond the Tees Valley, with a mission to deliver care that empowers individuals to live independently, improve their quality of life and feel truly part of their communities.
This ethos is woven into every aspect of the company’ s services – whether in domiciliary care, supported living or children and young people ' s services – and it only employs staff who share these values and high standards.
“ It is important to us that all our staff share our values and principles so we can provide the level of care we want to achieve for our clients,” Jessica says.
“ Whenever you are giving someone care, you need to put yourself in that individual’ s shoes and whatever you would expect as an individual should inform the care you provide to that individual.
“ We give our clients the physical support they need, but also emotional and financial support and we demonstrate that we respect their different cultures and beliefs.
“ We empower people to live a good quality of life as independently as possible and that is the difference with the standard of care we provide at Moonrise.”
Moonrise is regulated by the Care Quality Commission, with whom it boasts a“ Good” rating.
WORDS: SARAH WALKER
Whether offering assistance with daily tasks through domiciliary care, helping individuals build confidence and life skills in supported living settings or creating therapeutic homes for vulnerable children and young people, Moonrise is dedicated to enhancing quality of life and fostering a sense of stability and belonging.
The skilled and compassionate team ensures that all care is tailored, respectful and focused on each person’ s individual needs – whether that’ s supporting someone to manage money, cook meals, attend appointments, or feel safe and valued in their environment.
The expansion into York is both a practical and symbolic step. In practical terms, it allows Moonrise to establish a local base for recruitment, training and service delivery – creating new jobs and enabling more responsive care provision tailored to the specific needs of North Yorkshire communities.
Symbolically, it represents Moonrise’ s growing ambition.
“ Moonrise isn’ t going to stop growing and we are looking to provide care throughout the UK,” Jessica says.“ That’ s our ambition and we are making a lot of progress on it.
“ Our vision is clear – to deliver exceptional care across more communities, while staying true to the values that got us here.”
