Laura qualified with a BA honours in social science in Dublin in 2008 and worked for a year before she moved to the UK in 2010 after spending some time traveling the world.
Laura was excited by the valued and ethos of Dimensions care and came on board alongside Wayne to start a company with a difference.
Laura loves to spend time with families and friends, traveling and socialising as well as going to theme parks. As a manager she works on a person centred model as she believes when people feel valued and cared for, they enjoy their role, when people love what they do they are happier and happier staff mean happier children and better role models. Laura has worked her way from Register manager to senior and is now the Regional manager for Dimensions.
I began working with Dimensions Care in June 2021. Straight away I was made to feel at ease and welcomed in by the management team. With this being my first time working in residential care, I had some anxiety, however Laura and Wayne were always there to help and answer any questions.
It’s been really rewarding being part of a brand-new care team and building a home for the young people we care for. In such a short amount of time, I believe we have a built an amazing team and each one of us have different strengths which benefit and learn from.
Working at dimensions care has given me a greater work life balance, everyday is so different and I am getting to challenge myself, learning new hobbies such as fishing and really enjoying spending time with the kids. The family environment is warm and there is always laughter and fun to be had.
