Carer at Westbury care home hailed as a Shining Star in Trust Awards 2020
OSJCT Shining Stars Employee Awards 2020
Amanda Archant, who works at OSJCT Watersmead care home in Westbury, has been named Newcomer of the Year in OSJCT Shining Stars Employee Awards 2020. The Trust, which employs over 5,200 staff across its homes and offices selected 48 winners from a shortlist of 129 finalists.
Amanda joined the Trust in 2019 as a carer. She was nominated for her rapport with residents, spending time before and after her shift to sit with them, especially those without visitors. She is a very welcome addition to the team.
On receiving the Award, Amanda said: “I feel very honoured to receive this award. I love working at OSJCT Watersmead and being part of an amazing team.”
Janet Pannell, Area Operations Director, Wiltshire, and a member of the judging panel, said: “I would like to thank Amanda for her wonderful contribution and congratulate her on winning this award. It is so important to celebrate and recognise the wonderful achievements of colleagues from across Wiltshire, each and everyone have gone out of their way to improve the lives of those living in our homes. We absolutely appreciate and value their contribution.”
The Care Centre had a small staff only celebration in October.
