Bluebird Care Awards 2017

Celebrating Excellence and Achievement with Bluebird Care Mid and West Cornwall at our 2nd Annual Awards Night!

Our 2nd Annual Awards night, held in October was once again an evening filled with fun and excitement to celebrate our colleagues nominated for their achievments throughout the past year. All nominees were voted for by colleagues and customers alike with those with the higest number of nominations invited to attend the evening which was held at The County Arms, Truro for the second time. 

The evening kicked off with prosecco, buffet and lots of socialising followed by a viewing of our 'Outstanding' CAHSC finished film. After the speeches it was on to the main event- the awards. All nominees took home an engraved Bluebird Care glass whilst the winners walked away with a trophy and a specialy commisioned glass 'Bluebird' coaster.

So who won what? The Live In Care Worker Award went to Gill Laidlaw for her bravery during a housefire with a customer whilst the Supported Living Care Worker Award went to Arran Gandy for his continued support, dedication and team work within his Supported living teams. The Domicilliary Care Worker Award was won by Phillipa Reeves for her flexibility and helpfulness within her team and the Team Leader Award was picked up by Amber Johns for her excellent leadership skills and her dedication to her customer. The Above and Beyond Award was given to Natasha Pharo for her commitment to her customers through thick and thin and the Office Colleague Award was picked up by Fiona Mitchell for her many years service, her dedication to her role and her skills with managing her teams. Special Recognition went to Mark Walker who made a dramatic switch from one career to care and has already given so much to those he supports and also to John Sommerville for all of his 'behind the scenes' work within the company. The Prestigious Care Worker of the Year Award was voted for from the 'Carers of the Month' and was given to Gloria Merrifield for her commitment, dedication and skill as a domisciliary Care Worker as well as a team member.

With everyone making an effort to 'dress to impress'  and colleagues from all areas and teams celebrating together it really was a night to remember. We can't wait until next year!
