Ebony enjoys co-ordinating and taking part in events, networking and meeting new people. She is excited to be part of the team at The Richardson Partnership for Care and says: “It’s really nice to be able to use my skills to sell a service that can make such a positive difference to people. I love that it’s a family-run business and that all the homes are local to Northampton.” She adds: “I didn’t expect to be so involved with the service users who are already in our homes. As our office is in the grounds of The Richardson Mews, we get to see the service users every day and to develop relationships with them, which is lovely.”

Ebony is a warm, kind-hearted person and helping people comes naturally to her. She adds: “Even if one of our homes isn’t suitable for someone, I like to think that we can point them in the right direction to help them find appropriate care.”

When she’s not at work, Ebony enjoys spending time with her family and friends and her little dog – a Bichon Frise/Poodle cross.
