A RESIDENTIAL home in Newport is celebrating the success of one of its members of staff in recognition awards run by the Caring Homes Group.
Cariad Sansom, of Parklands, won Support Worker of the Year - sponsored by The Swift Lift Company - for her natural ability to care and for being an outstanding member of the team.
The award was announced by one of the original professional dancers on Strictly Come Dancing - producer and entertainer Brendan Cole - at a ceremony in Oxfordshire.
“I’m so pleased to have won this award!” Ms Sansom said.
“There are over 5,700 employees at Caring Homes Group - to be recognised for the work that I do is astonishing.
“At Parklands we work to deliver the very best care for each of our supported individuals and are always happy to go the extra mile to ensure everyone is experiencing life to the full.”
