Meet Lisa – Unit Lead, Ladywell Residential Unit
I began my journey in the care sector in 2016 as a Care Assistant, driven by a desire to make a difference in the lives of others. After gaining valuable hands-on experience, I completed my Level 3 qualification in Health and Social Care and progressed to the role of Senior Carer on the Ferny Unit (Dementia Unit). My passion for care and leadership naturally led me to being promoted to Unit Lead.
In 2022, I broadened my professional experience by working for the NHS for 12 months. This period greatly enhanced my clinical knowledge and gave me a deeper understanding of care within a wider healthcare context. Upon returning to Preston Private, I was proud to help support the opening of the high-needs residential Ladywell Unit as a Senior, and shortly after, I was given the opportunity to step into the role of Unit Lead, a position I genuinely love and take pride in.
I am passionate about delivering excellent, person-centred care to our residents and strive to create a warm, supportive environment for both residents and their families, especially during difficult times when important decisions need to be made.
Being a part of the Preston Private team means everything to me. I am committed to continuous learning, leading by example, and ensuring every resident receives the respect, dignity, and quality of life they deserve.
