Are you looking for a rewarding career in care in Barrow-in-Furness, Ulverston, or Millom? At Lakeland Care, we believe itโs the people who make all the difference โ and weโre excited to introduce one of our newest stars: Ebony! ๐
Ebony joined Lakeland Care in February and has already left a lasting impression on both her clients and our team. From day one, she showed the qualities we value most โ kindness, compassion, and a genuine love for helping others.
๐ฌ Why Ebony Chose Lakeland Care
Ebony came to us after hearing great things about our company, and weโre so glad she did! She shares:
โItโs a lovely work environment and all of the staff are friendly and professional.โ
Whether you’re just starting out in care or looking for a fresh start with a supportive, local company, Lakeland Care in South Cumbria offers a warm welcome and comprehensive training to help you succeed.
๐ Supportive Training & Shadowing
Starting a new job can be daunting โ but not at Lakeland Care. Ebony found our training and shadowing process simple and enjoyable, helping her feel confident and prepared:
โI got all the training I needed, and if there was anything I was uncertain on, all I had to do was ask. The shadowing was great fun โ meeting other carers out in the field and meeting the clients for the first time.โ
๐ Beyond a Job โ Building Meaningful Bonds
Whatโs surprised Ebony the most about working in home care?
โThe bonds you make. Itโs not just a job โ itโs a second home. Some clients only see you, and you form bonds that feel like family.โ
In community care, youโre not just delivering support โ youโre making a real, human connection. Thatโs what makes working with Lakeland Care so special.
๐พ Life Outside of Care
When sheโs not caring for others, Ebony enjoys relaxing with her dogs and playing games on her phone โ some well-earned downtime for someone who gives so much every day.
๐ A Welcoming Start
Reflecting on her first few weeks, Ebony describes her experience at Lakeland Care as:
โWelcoming, comfortable, and supportive.โ
Itโs exactly what we strive to provide for every new team member across Ulverston, Barrow, Millom, and the wider area.
