💙 Carer Spotlight: Meet Ebony – Making a Difference with Lakeland Care in Barrow, Ulverston & Millom
Are you looking for a rewarding career in care in Barrow-in-Furness, Ulverston, or Millom? At Lakeland Care, we believe it’s the people who make all the difference – and we’re excited to introduce one of our newest stars: Ebony! 🌟
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 – kindness, compassion, and a genuine love for helping others.
💬 Why Ebony Chose Lakeland Care
Ebony came to us after hearing great things about our company, and we’re so glad she did! She shares:
“It’s a lovely work environment and all of the staff are friendly and professional.”
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.
📚 Supportive Training & Shadowing
Starting a new job can be daunting – but not at Lakeland Care. Ebony found our training and shadowing process simple and enjoyable, helping her feel confident and prepared:
“I 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 – meeting other carers out in the field and meeting the clients for the first time.”
💛 Beyond a Job – Building Meaningful Bonds
What’s surprised Ebony the most about working in home care?
“The bonds you make. It’s not just a job – it’s a second home. Some clients only see you, and you form bonds that feel like family.”
In community care, you’re not just delivering support – you’re making a real, human connection. That’s what makes working with Lakeland Care so special.
🐾 Life Outside of Care
When she’s not caring for others, Ebony enjoys relaxing with her dogs and playing games on her phone – some well-earned downtime for someone who gives so much every day.
🌟 A Welcoming Start
Reflecting on her first few weeks, Ebony describes her experience at Lakeland Care as:
“Welcoming, comfortable, and supportive.”
It’s exactly what we strive to provide for every new team member across Ulverston, Barrow, Millom, and the wider area.
💡 Ebony’s Advice for Future Carers
Thinking about a job in care?
“Go for it! I never imagined being a carer four years ago, but now it just feels so natural. All you need is a loving nature, to be caring, and patient. It’s a rewarding job, knowing you’re making a difference to someone’s day and helping them live their life to the fullest in their own home.”
