Introducing Tina Hilpert

It’s not very often we have the opportunity to be joined by a colleague with experience from another Home Instead office, but when Tina decided to relocate from Newcastle to Hull that’s just what we got!  It was perfect timing for us too!

What’s your role at Home Instead?

I am the Community Engagement Officer and a Recruiter for Home Instead, working across both the Beverley & Hull and Pocklington & Brough offices. My job is to build relationships with local organisations, attend events, and raise awareness of Home Instead’s services. I can also support families by providing information on care options, recruit and onboard Care Professionals, and promote our specialised services like Nail Care and dementia support.

What did you do before coming to Home Instead?

Previously, I was Head of People at Home Instead Newcastle, where I managed Community Engagement, Recruitment, and HR. Additionally, I am a qualified Counsellor and passionate about the wellbeing of people.

What does “To us it’s personal” mean to you?

“To us, it’s personal” reflects Home Instead’s commitment to delivering compassionate, person-centred care.

For me it means:

Building genuine relationships – engaging with families, caregivers, and the community to truly understand their needs.
Providing tailored support – Whether it’s recruitment, nail care, or Dementia support, I want to ensure services are delivered with care and empathy.
Making a real difference – My role goes beyond logistics; I want to help people feel valued, supported, and empowered.

It’s not just a job—it’s about making a meaningful impact in people’s lives.

What do you like to do outside of work?

I am a family-oriented person who loves spending time with my partner, children, and grandchildren. Outside of work, I love baking, cooking, and getting creative with DIY projects. I also have a deep love for animals and enjoy the joy they bring to my everyday life. I love watching documentaries and crime shows.
