This is the second time that our Care and Support worker, Donna has been a finalist in the Great British Care Awards! Donna values dignity in the person-centred care she provides to her clients and on receiving news of her nomination told us :
“ I started at Bridgewater Day Care Centre in 2017, having never worked in care but it turned out to be my dream job and I have never looked back. Taking care of and making sure our “family” at work is my main priority, to see them smile, happy and safe throughout the day is worth everything to me. Coming to work is like coming home, making a difference to our clients’ day has got to be the best feeling that I’ve had in my job.”
Donna’s Manager, Lisa Lehan told us how incredibly proud she was of Donna when she heard the news that she would be a Finalist for such a prestigious care award and added that :
“Donna is truly dedicated to putting customers at the heart of everything she does. We’re very proud of her and all the rest of our team who do a wonderful job every single day to support our clients at the Day Care Centre.”
The Great British Care Awards are a series of regional events throughout the UK and are a celebration of excellence across the care sector. The purpose of the awards is to pay tribute to those individuals who have demonstrated outstanding excellence within their field of work.
The awards are made up of twenty-one categories representing all areas of the social care sector, whether it be older people or specialist services, residential or home care. From frontline staff such as care workers and care managers to people who have made an impact in other ways such as training and innovation. The awards are all-inclusive, bringing together the statutory, independent and voluntary sectors, as well as unpaid carers; promoting joint working. Working in partnership with care partners and local care associations is at the heart of the initiative; working and linking directly with local managers and networks to further promote the event.
The winners will be announced at an awards ceremony which is taking place on 12th November 2022 in Manchester.
Super well done to Donna. We’re rooting for her to win in her category! Good luck to everyone involved.
