A huge congratulations to Ashleigh, who has just stepped into her new role as Supervisor at Lakeland Care! 💙
Ashleigh’s story is a brilliant example of what makes Lakeland Care different — we don’t just hire carers, we invest in them. We believe in growing our own, creating real progression opportunities, and building a workplace where people feel valued, supported, and part of something bigger.
🌱 Starting from the Heart
Ashleigh first joined us as a Care & Support Worker, encouraged by her daughters to explore a career in care. From her very first shift, she brought warmth, compassion, and a natural sense of responsibility that immediately stood out.
She didn’t just care for clients — she lifted up everyone around her. Colleagues describe her as someone who always steps up, brings people together, and leads by example.
“It really is a second family,” Ashleigh says. “My progression to Supervisor came naturally because I love being a mentor to new staff.”
📚 Real Training, Real Growth
While many agencies talk about progression, Lakeland Care delivers it. Ashleigh recently completed advanced training in:
- Care Planning
- Medication Administration
- End-of-Life Support
- Train the Trainer
Whether you’re new to care or have years of experience, we offer:
- Funded, practical training
- 1-to-1 mentoring
- A clear route from carer to leader
Ashleigh now supports both new and existing staff, helping others grow just like she did.
💬 Why Carers Choose Lakeland Over Agencies
We know that many experienced carers feel overworked, underpaid, and unsupported in traditional agency roles. That’s why we’ve built something different:
- ✅ Employee Ownership – All staff share in our success and can earn up to £1,000 a year tax-free
- ✅ Paid mileage AND travel time – No unpaid hours between visits
- ✅ Stable rotas – Not a patchwork of hours
- ✅ Supportive, local team – You’re never “just a number”
Whether you’re an experienced carer or ready for a fresh start, you’ll be supported, celebrated, and invested in from day one.
💙 More Than a Job
Outside of work, Ashleigh enjoys cooking up a storm for friends and family, or curling up with a good book and a cuppa. She’s proof that care work isn’t just a job — it’s a calling, a career, and a way to connect with others.
We’re so proud to have Ashleigh leading the way and guiding the next generation of carers. We can’t wait to see all the good she’ll do in her new role.
