Saffron Walden Branch has a hero in Georgie

Healthcare Homes colleagues were delighted to get together at a company conference and awards last week to recognize staff and teams who work throughout our family of 48 homes and 11 homecare branches.

And whilst it was recognized that every health and social care employee is undoubtedly a hero, and every Healthcare Homes team was awarded an Inspirational Team of the Year Award, managers had also been asked to recommend individuals for the Hero Awards 2022.

Georgie was promoted to care co-ordinator at Manorcourt Homecare in Saffron Walden at the end of 2021, having joined the company in 2018, and had to hit the ground running with Christmas fast approaching and rotas needing attention!

She is described as always doing her work to perfection and goes above and beyond – working whatever hours are needed to ensure the service users receive the care they need.

Georgie also has own personal challenges – her young son has required many hospital appointments and surgery. Despite all of this, Georgie always exudes positivity and always gives her very best. Georgie comes to work smiling – She has a heart of gold and deserves to be recognized as our hero.

Gordon Cochrane, chief executive officer, told the audience, “ I’m delighted to say that we were inundated with nominations for people that managers wanted to be recognized as absolute stars, the backbones of our homes and branches, the heroes we simply cannot do without and Georgie is one of those heroes.”
