Over the next week we will be celebrating International Womenโs week, spanning from 4-8th March, culminating in International Womenโs Day on the 8th March.
Each day of the week, we will be showcasing some of the amazing women that are part of the CLCA family.
Meet Judy! From Pampanga, Philippines!

Wanting to experience life outside of the Philippines, Judy moved to the UK last February through the sponsorship program by CLCAโs overseas recruitment team.
She immediately became part of the CLCA family, joining the Head Office team just 3 days after arriving in the country!!
Judy understands life in another country can be very different but sheโs eager to explore more of the world and learn from her experiences. Sheโs ready to face the challenges of adapting to new situations, cultures & life outside of her comfort zone. In light of her new adventure, Judy is excited to meet new people of various backgrounds in the UKs rising cultural diversity.
Recalling life in the Philippines: โIt was simple. Food was simple yet delicious. There is a strong Christian fellowship. Care giving & hospitality has become part of Filipino psyche & has consequently become ingrained in our cultureโ.
We realise the significance of the work we do and how it can be life changing for our patients to receive the proper care they deserve, prioritising their health & wellbeing. This shared mindset allows Judy to seamlessly integrate into the CLCA family and work towards the same goals together.
โCLCA helped ease the whole process by providing guidance on what I needed to do step-by-step throughout the recruitment process. Ensuring no documents were missed and that I fulfilled all prerequisites. The sponsorship provided by CLCA also created a stronger case for me to make the move.โ CLCA is one of the A-list of recruiters publish through the Home office.
Now, having somewhat adjusted to UK climate, Judy is well underway with training and is taking a step-by-step approach to the daily influx of new information. Judy expressed an interest in taking extra online courses in the future to help further her learning & unlock more of her potential.
But itโs not all work, work, work for Judy! In her spare time, Judy loves to sing; and she also teaches English & Childrenโs English to Chinese students.
Weโre proud to have Judy onboard with CLCA and of everyone in Head Office that was involved with her transition. Additions like Judy to the CLCA family ensure that we continue to grow but in the right direction, with unified values & goals that put our patients first.
