This #GoodNewsFriday we hear about a prestigious award win for Care First 24 registered manager Lynn James-Wellings.

Care First 24 were thrilled to see their registered manager, Lynn James-Wellings win the prestigious Outstanding Director Award category at The Stars of Social Care Awards. The awards were held at the Leonardo Royal Hotel, London in June which was one of two award ceremonies held by Stars of Social Care, this one dedicated to home care.

The purpose of these awards is to honour the dedicated individuals and teams who make independent living possible, delivering outcome-focused, person-centred, compassionate care and support that transforms lives. Whether offering practical support, emotional care, or vital companionship, their commitment enables people to maintain their independence and stay connected to their communities.

Lynn James-Wellings is a true inspiration to her team at Care First 24 Ltd. She is a recognised leader in domiciliary and complex care, with over 30 years dedicated to improving quality, strengthening the workforce and championing person-centred practice. As Managing Director of Care First 24 Ltd, she has shaped a clinically robust, values-driven organisation known for innovation, compassion and exceptional care outcomes.

She has used her skills, knowledge and determination to not only grow Care First 24 from scratch in January 2022 into a profile-pioneering business with nearly 200 staff, but also reinvested operating profits to create a provider that is innovative and provides care that is personalised and compassionate.

Lynn enjoyed an incredible evening celebrating excellence in social care, surrounded by so many inspiring finalists and professionals who make a difference every day.

Also amongst the finalists was Jayne Easterbrook, who is the Training and Development Director at Care First 24 Ltd. Jayne was shortlisted in the Training and Development category.

Congratulations Lynn, Jayne and everyone honoured at the awards.
