I would like to nominate my colleague Ryan Ward support worker at Longfield House for organising special events. He took it upon himself to organise the Jubilee party and Pride event at Longfield House, he ensured that the service had everything.
Lisa has helped within developing the new starters relationships with residents and staff communicating the service users activities and planners. Lisa is always had a open door to make kirkside a success.
He took time out of his day to show me how to be a ‘buddy’ for a new starter. He’s made sure that I knew what I was doing and talked me through my tasks. He’s always been very caring and looks after residents with voracious passion. Thank you Nathan !!
Tina works so hard to ensure the seamless running of reception, and this doesn’t just stop in the work place. Even whilst not on shift she will always check on staff and acknowledge any messages sent out of office hours. She will always go the extra mile to ensure another member of staff is found due to absence so not to compromise the team. Queen
A huge thank you to Dr Lokesh for changing a colleagues tyre when they had a puncture outside of work! Definitely an amazing team player and always happy to help and support others.
Thanks for everything you do!
Peter has been a fantastic support to his colleagues on others ward as part of his role as OSCAR. He often covers the OSCAR role to support other nurses on the acute/ PICU services to support them with the challenges of their wards.
Peter is quick to act to support his colleagues even outside of his own ward.
Louise always goes above and beyond in her role as Support Worker, but recently made a residents day with her Birthday surprises that she had organised. Louise had spent time talking and listening to the resident to ensure that she had the Birthday that she had wanted, Louise tailored her Birthday to exactly what the resident had requested.
Arron as supported a service user with to help him with his football by sorting out all his football matches for him so he can go to these matches he spent days sorting this out and also went above and beyond doing a lot of this in is own time ,also the service user as approached me and asked if he could have this as the service user is happy.
Lindsay is a new starter with no previous experience of working in care. She as shown real growth in her role despite facing challenging behaviours which at times can be daunting. Lindsay as persevered and continues to learn & develop, accepting feedback openly to aid her growth & never giving up on trying to be the best support worker she can be.
Yulanda is such a positive supportive person to work with on Pixie ward and in education. She is alway fun and enthuastic and so encouraging of the young people in her care. We had a tennis session in the courtyard and the young people involved experienced her contagious laugh and passion for fun and getting involved. A real asset to Cygnet!
Ola has been a superstar keeping one of our young people who has slow processing speed and is non verbal engaged with education. The young person had been unable to engage with his science learning since admission but with the support of Ola, 1-1 he was able to engage with written and drawing work linked to the moon landings for the first time.
Gary is always selflessly providing support to the service users no matter how challenging the situation is. I have often seen him patiently let the patient vent their anger and come up with the kindest supportive words to help them reflect and adapt positive behaviours. Patients often seek him out in times of distress and he never turns them away.
