Kayleigh Mulgrew

Advanced Support Worker

I decided to join care industry during the pandemic and I can honestly say it was one of the best decisions I could of made. I took on the role of night support worker at a care home in Penrith and found that I very much enjoyed care work and I had a great passion and flair for it.

In October 2021 I joined Cumbria Quality Care to help out part time along side my full time job at the home. Working in the ‘home to home’ care sector was very different to working in a care home, but I am always looking to add to my skill set. Joining the home care team was another blessing in disguise as I was once again able to add to my care experience when they expanded their services to provide support for Children and Young Adults with complex needs in May 2022. It was then that I joined the company full time, and I have never looked back. I love the job that I do.

I worked my way up to Team leader and I am currently working on my level four diploma through the company. After having another child I decided to step back from the Team Leader role whilst my children are young, however I look forward to returning to this role in the future. Cumbria Quality Care has been a great company to work for and I have always felt very much supported from both management and my fellow colleague’s. I look forward to gaining more skills and experiences through them.
