Loving Homes (Health & Care Services) Ltd is a new Stafford-based company with a mission to help transform the lives of young people.

Founder and Managing Director, Lauren Jonah (pictured with intern Lauren Millward), says: “We have loved working with Keele University regarding their internship programme. They are easy to work with, the process has been straightforward and the communication has been great. Getting in touch with Steve from the team has been of huge benefit to our company, and we are looking forward to building the relationship with Keele through working on other projects together.”

Loving Homes’ relationship with Keele University has resulted in a new opportunity for a Keele Management School student starting this summer as part of the new placement year scheme. Lauren was so impressed with the applicants for the internship that they now have a pipeline of suitable students for summer work and other part time roles as the organisation expands.

Loving Homes Business Development Director, Ashley Havens, added: “We are very pleased with the quality of candidates that have been passed to us by Keele University. The funding from Santander is very useful, especially as we are in the start-up phase of our operations. We are looking forward to welcoming Lauren Millward to the team as our first intern and know that she will be the first of many Keele students to work with us.”
