Samantha joined the Ladysmith team in 2016 and has excelled in the home ever since. She goes above and beyond to do her best in everything she does and loves supporting her colleagues daily.

In her own words:

“Prior to working at Ladysmith Care Home, I had worked in care for 7 years and during this time I obtained my NVQ levels 2 & 3. I first came to work at Ladysmith Care Home in 2016 as a care assistant. In the first 6 months, after my induction and completing mandatory training I had a full time Senior Care Assistant position. During that time I worked on each of the units in the home ensuring I had good knowledge on all of the residents. As well as the many different residents I have had the pleasure to meet and care for, there has been opportunity to work alongside the Ladysmith team, who over the years I have become very close to. At the beginning of last year (2023), the position for a new  training facilitator became available within the home. I was eager to apply for this role as I felt that I had so much to  offer the home, the company and care profession. Fortunately I was offered the position and transitioned to this new role in September 2023. Since then my manager has enrolled me onto several courses to help broaden my knowledge and help me excel in this new and exciting position”
