Debbie’s passion for seniors drove her to seek a career change, and in 2023 she
came on board as Sales Manager at The Helier. Prior to moving into the retirement living and aged care sector, Debbie enjoyed a range of roles across hospitality and tourism. From an early stint with P&O Catering, to tourism roles in our adventure capital Queenstown, Debbie gained valuable insight into all things business and people focused, while growing her skillset in service.
Debbie then spent 20 years in the music industry, finishing up as General Manager
for Play It Strange, a trust for young NZ songwriters looking to break into the industry. Working with young people helped to grow Debbie’s understanding of
inclusivity and diversity, which was also reflected in her homelife raising her son with autism.
A St Heliers local, Debbie has enjoyed seeing The Helier take shape from her home.
She loves the area and takes pride in helping residents on their journey to make the decision to move into The Helier.
As Debbie continues to grow The Helier community, she engages the simple mantra of importance; he tāngata, he tāngata, he tāngata; it is people, it is people, it is people.

Irit joins The Helier team as the Head of
Care Services, bringing over a wealth of experience from a life that spans across the globe. Born in Soviet Ukraine, Irit relocated early in life when her family moved to Israel after the Chernobyl incident. It's here that Irit laid down her roots in healthcare, learning the ropes in one of Israel's busiest hospitals.
Her trilingual ability in Russia, Hebrew, and English not only enhances communication but also brings a rich cultural understanding to her clinical expertise.
Since moving to New Zealand with her own family, Irit has dedicated the past 12 years to leading a private healthcare facility as the Nurse Manager.

I am very pleased to have chosen The Helier as my permanent home. My children are delighted to know that I am happily living in this lovely environment.
Resident of The Helier
I don’t think we could have chosen a better place for someone we all loved so much….The medical care was top notch as one would expect, but it was the extra little things that made all the difference. Everyone from the reception team to the butlers, the care staff, nurses, and cleaners to the GM, went above and beyond even the highest expectations. There was a real sense of care, not just of undertaking a job. Everyone knew mum’s name and her story, and they made her feel loved and safe.

When I arrived at The Helier Care Residences it was for a short term, respite stay. Immediately I felt at home. The Helier made me feel comfortable and safe. After a few weeks I felt less stress than I had felt in a very long time.
