Helen qualified as a Veterinary Nurse in 1987 and worked in mixed practice in Devon before moving to Portishead Vet Centre on West Hill, where she first worked with Richard & Helen. She then took time out to raise her family but is now enjoying working part time to help out at Community Vets, filling in on a Tuesday while Kirsty is at college, and also when someone is on holiday. Most of her free time is spent with her family and also the menagerie of animals at home which includes rescue cats and dogs. She also enjoys country walks, seeing friends and being in her garden.
