Executive Carers pick up awards at Staffordshire Dignity in Care Awards

We are thrilled to announce our winners: 

• Vee Harbord, who captivated the audience with her acceptance of the ‘Newcomer to Care Dignity Champion’ award by performing a heartfelt rendition of ‘At Last.’ Vee’s background in musical theatre seamlessly transitioned into caregiving, earning her the affectionate nickname 'VEE THE VOICE' among clients. Her melodious voice and zest for life have made her a cherished addition to our team. 

• Sarah Tregear, awarded the Commitment to Learning Dignity Champion title. Sarah’s journey is a testament to her genuine commitment to caring with dignity. Promoted to a trainee managerial role, she combines her growing expertise with an innate kindness that inspires both colleagues and clients. 

• Sarah Jones, our Specialist Dignity Champion and Mental Health Champion, tirelessly advocates for the dignity and well-being of her clients. Her unwavering commitment to promoting respect, kindness, and compassion in caregiving earned her this prestigious recognition. 

• Kayleigh Jones, honored as the Community Dignity Champion. Kayleigh’s dedication to supporting her client with agoraphobia is a shining example of her empathy and commitment. She went above and beyond to understand the condition and provide tailored support, making a profound difference in her client's life. 

Sara Bennett, owner and registered manager of Executive Carers, expressed her pride, saying, "We are absolutely delighted for our staff. This recognition is a testament to our brilliant team and the exceptional care they provide. It's a well-deserved acknowledgment not only for our team but for all carers who look after the elderly and vulnerable in our community. Care often gets a bad press, but it is a true vocation, and we need to do more to recognise and reward these wonderful workers. A big thank you to the County Council for organising this event and supporting local commissioned services."
