Zoe has put her heart and soul into supporting the staff/patients through a really difficult time. Her ongoing efforts and the time she takes to provide a safe space for others to talk is such a valuable tool. She seeks to involve the wider MDT and plan ahead for the future and is so flexible the time she puts in to ensure she is there for all.
Kolade is a new staff member at Norcott Lodge and supported myself alongside other staff members with supporting residents and shows real pride in his work. Kolade supported myself and others recently in a particularly difficult situation, showing his amazing growth in a short period of time. Thank you Kolade.
Ade has been seen to have the strength and determination to rise through tough challenges in the form of providing amazing support to a resident who was hitting out during an incident.
Ade remained supportive/positive and continued to provide the best care possible to de-escalate the situation with good effect. He’s a great asset to our team.
Folake has recently been promoted to Senior Support Worker. She has blossomed into the role and has taken everything I have thrown at her in her stride. She manages to take care of our young people, support staff in all aspects and puts up with me, which is probably the biggest challenge :). Keep going you’ve got this.
I would like to nominate Darren because he has been a great support to me with completing my COSHH risk assessments. This is something i have struggled with but with Darren’s support and empowerment i have been able to complete to a high standard. Thank you Darren for giving me the belief that I can do it. Your support is truly appreciated.
Kathryn lead a HUGE hospital wide rollout of our new eRoster system. This has been a mammoth task and done alongside her day job of making sure the wards are safely staffed. She really has gone over and above. She liaised with external parties as well as our own staff and made the whole process go smoothly. She is a complete superstar!
Sarah works as Head of Pathways. During the recent Eleni house closure her leadership was exceptional. She worked hard in getting all the professionals together including our internal team to arrange meetings. She also went above and beyond to place Eleni house residents in their new home with a smooth transition plan and continuous support.
It was recognised that Isis shows intense enthusiasm in her role as a support worker at Beacon House. She was under the weather one day and not feeling very well but continued to be dedicated to her work. She was giving Sulaimon, a new starter, a tour around the site and was maintaining and showing good communication skills through the tour.
Jas is always so helpful, although I don’t directly work with her, whenever I message her about anything to do with rewards or benefits she is always so proactive in finding the answers to help our staff at Stevenage. To me she is an invaluable member of Cygnet and certainly helps make my job easier. She is definitely my go to girl – thank you!
Maxine went above and beyond to show compassion and support to the bereaved family of a service user who sadly passed away. She made cushions for the family out of clothes/ bedding with catchphrases the service user regularly said hand sewn on.
Olufemi joined our service NWSL covering 5 separate locations in March 2023. Olufemi had nothing but system challenges on top of a mighty challenge of rectifying a number of issues surrounding our administration. Olufemi was not put off by this. Olufemi gives his all to everything he does and is a very hard working resilient member of our team.
Chinenye never gives up when faced with a problem. She is dedicated to making sure that our service users’ needs and rights are met. I have seen her call round the houses to ensure that service users are able to have the needs met both in hospital and the community when discharged. She is not just hard working but also dedicated and persistent.
