Mayo always makes sure he gives a thorough and informative handover every morning. His communication skills are great, followed by his ability to make the whole team smile. We look forward to our handovers every morning because of Mayo’s presence. His energy is contagious and it gives the whole team a boost! Thank you for making handovers so great!
Kayode recently passed his probation and with his hard work, he has become a reliable colleague. He has built good rapport with all our individuals, and in one of many instances, I witnessed how empathetic and patient he was when trying to find out how an individual was feeling due to them not responding. I thought it was a great bonding moment.
Ife has helped move in a new resident into Gotts Park this week, Ife has shown great leadership qualities by supporting the resident during difficult periods of anxieties and showing the team how to de-escalate him and supporting with his care plan to create a positive routine, meaning the resident has had the best start to Gotts Park, thanks Ife!
Princess has been very perceptive and pro-active in managing patient risks on the ward. She does not hesitate to help and assist in moments of patient hostility. She is also a genuine and caring person who is always interested in the well-being of her team members. She has a natural empathy and sense of compassion for staff and service users.
Her dedication to never letting things go meant that she spotted a significant safeguarding concern on one of the wards that resulted in a children’s safeguarding enquiry commencing. She is so devoted to the job and never lets a difficult scenario stop her from caring about the people we work with

Kerrie has built up an extremely good rapport with a resident here at pines, the resident in question is non-verbal but due to the residents ever growing trust of Kerrie and Kerrie’s time, care and patience with them, their bond is so lovely to watch!
Bryony facilitated some great activities, including trips to the panto and Christmas illuminations, in the run up to Christmas to give our service users a great Christmas time! Everyone had a great time and it couldn’t have been done without you.
Sophie is one of the only few drivers on my team and so is often asked to drive about on lots of occasions throughout the day. Sophie takes everything in her stride and always has a happy demeanour about her. Sophie always remains calm and collected no matter what the situation but can also speak her mind when the need arises.
