I have worked in health and social care for 26 years and have experience varied from nursing homes caring for the elderly with dementia to adults with challenging behaviour and autism. I worked with adults in independent living supporting people in their own home and shared homes with learning difficulties and challenging behaviour. I have worked for an agency as a personal assistant for adults with learning disabilities to support them in everyday life, college, social and education needs and holidays.

I enjoy travelling and holidays, concerts, gigs, music, swimming, walking my crazy dog Codey and socialising with friends and family and dote on my beautiful nieces and nephews and my two beautiful boys.

My name is Lauren, I have always been in the hairdressing industry since leaving school. I felt that I needed a change of career and decided to look into the care sector. I have now been a support worker at Bright Opps for 6 months and I absolutely love everything about it, I wish that I had changed career so much sooner.

I love my family & friends spending time with them; singing, dancing, photography and art, visiting art galleries & cities & walking in the hills; I enjoy watching Spanish dramas & other continental dramas on BBC Iplayer and Netflix and practising speaking Spanish when I meet Spanish people! I love cheese, olives and patatas bravos. I feel I’m kind and warm hearted and I like to work hard but also enjoy life too!

I worked as a machine setter for 10 years but wanted to do a job that was a bit more fulfilling. I went into domiciliary care for 3 years and then worked in a care home for 2 before joining bright opportunities. I really enjoy the job and really look forward to going to work.

​I am an experienced occupational therapist with seven years of practice, specializing in patient-centered care and rehabilitation strategies. After honing my skills in larger healthcare environments, I decided to transition to a role with a smaller company, where I can bring a more personalized approach to my work and have a direct impact on patient outcomes.

So with all my excitement and joy I’m grateful to say I’m for filling my dream and I’m hoping I’m able to help other for full there too.
