Meet The Manager
Lauri Smith is Registered Manager at Josh's Care Company Ltd.
Lauri, who is Josh’s sister, is the CEO and Registered Manager of Joshs Care Company. Joining the team seemed like the next organic step in her career, having had significant growth within the healthcare industry. She has experience in management in varied settings including mental health, learning disability, elderly care, complex nursing and dementia care.
Lauri is passionate about providing the people that we care for with a service that is inclusive, personal centred and empowering.
She recently achieved her MSc in Global Leadership and Management in Health Care with distinction through Teesside University which she intends to use to continue to develop the company. Using her knowledge, health psychology and personal values, she continuously strive towards inclusivity, empowerment, health and wellbeing equality for all.
Josh’s Care Company Ltd was founded with a deeply personal mission. It all started when our son, Josh, experienced a life-altering spinal cord injury. We quickly realised that the care options available fell short of providing the comprehensive support he needed. Determined to ensure his well-being and enable him to live a fulfilling life, we took matters into our own hands.
Since then, our journey has evolved, and we have grown to become a trusted provider of personalised home care services. We understand that every individual has unique needs and circumstances. Our goal is to go beyond offering basic care services. We strive to build genuine relationships with our clients and their families, providing not only physical assistance but also emotional support and a sense of belonging.
Empowering individuals to live independently and with dignity since our founding, Josh’s Care Company has been dedicated to providing personalised home care services for those in need.
Our commitment to delivering high-quality care is reflected in our team of caregivers and healthcare professionals who undergo rigorous training and are experts in their fields. We believe in fostering an environment of respect, accountability, and dependability in all our interactions with clients and their families. As a trusted partner in the care journey, we aim to enhance the quality of life for our clients through individualised, holistic care that promotes independence and well-being.
