over the festive period Joao has done many activities to build up to Christmas such as a Christmas jumper day, decorating the hallways and getting Santa to come to Kirkside.
Chris has worked at the fountains for a number of years, and has quietly worked in the back ground supporting new and old staff on the unit.
He is the person staff go to for shift swaps and he always helps and supports his colleges where he can.
Chris has built positive relationships and supports staff with his caring attitude and reliability.
Emma is a great credit to the team, recently had some bad incidents within the service and Emma has been a very good team player and hard work throughout her shifts. Supporting Service user in hospital when behaviours have been very heightened and staying over hours to help the service.
Thank you and Well done Emma! 🙂
Jon is tireless in his dedication to his team, often supporting out of hours to ensure staffing levels are correct, his work ethic is amazing and nothing is too much for him.
He will take on extra duties to support me and the team even when he is not feeling his best and often staying late.
The team couldn’t ask for a better role model.
Samina never hesitates to support other disciplines when needed, most recently she has been covering her own shifts as well as coming in on her days off to support the OT team due to absences – Samina is passionate about service users she works with and wanted to ensure that activities can still happen and run as normal.
I have had recent times on the ward where in an acute crisis, Thanise has been immediately there to support any member of staff and responded effectively and safely to any situation that arises. I always trust that she’ll be there to support me or any other members of the team.
Amy (along with a number of colleagues) collected a large box of food items and a collection for my family following a recent illness within the family. This meant a lot to my family during a difficult time, and it is nice to feel appreciated and loved by the whole team. Amy goes above and beyond to organise events, birthdays and collections.
We recently had to deal with a serious crisis that we sought Amit for help with. He remained calm, professional and took lead on the situation and for that I was extremely grateful, without Amit’s support and clear, directive thinking, i don’t think the situation would have been handled as well as what it was. Thank you for being there!
Leanne works so hard to ensure staff remain up to date with their training both face to face and achieve. She is always a listening ear and will support people to make the best decisions. Her opinions are valid by everyone in the team as they know they will get a truthful answer! Thank you for all you do Leanne!
Chrissy continues to support the management team in implementing changes and supporting new ideas for the home. She always supports with audits and actions needed to continue to improve our service. Chrissy support does not go unnoticed and is a massive help – Thank you
Lani supported a service user to a hospital appointment. The service user had a successful appointment and completed the treatment. Which has never happened before. Not only did we celebrate the success of the service user, but also Lani for her attentiveness and professionalism. We now ask you to join in with us, in this momentous success story!
Cassie has been able to support her manager with sharing work load. And supporting on the floor when needed. During crisis she has worked extremely hard to ensure all staff and residents remain safe and happy. She is an asset to my team. Hard work should be recognised where due. Great work Cassie
