Our CEO, Lucy Humphrey was live on Suffolk Sounds Radio on Wednesday 14th March, talking about her career, Leading Lives and all things social care.
Lucy joined Adam Storey on his morning DiscoverAbility show, live on Suffolk Sounds Radio, from 9am – 10am. She went into detail about her early career in care, 28 years ago and why she still has the same passion for social care now. She also spoke about the career progression opportunities in social care and how she developed from a support worker to CEO of Leading Lives and the mentoring she received along the way.
Lucy went on to speak about the history of Leading Lives and what makes Leading Lives different, touching on aspects like being a workers co-op, being a profit for purpose social enterprise and what these factors mean for the team members that make up Leading Lives. She also spoke about the benefits of working in the social care sector and the value, motivation and self-fulfillment when you get home at the end of the day and you’ve made a real difference.
Later on in the show Lucy spoke about Care Development East and the work that they do to make sure the health and social care sector is the best it possibly can be, as well as the support, training and career advice that they provide too.
Finally Lucy spoke about Leading Lives dipping their toe in to the world of dementia support and the new projects well under way within the organisation.
It’s well worth a listen as it’s a brilliant insight into Lucy, Leading Lives and the wider health and social care sector.
