A Mansfield-based home care company is celebrating after one of its workers won a top regional award.

Rebecca Hale was one of five staff members from Premier Care to make it to the regional final of the Great British Care Awards at the East Midlands Conference Centre, Nottingham.

Rebecca impressed the judges in an interview and won the regional award for home care assessor.

“It was a fantastic night and it was really nice to receive the award,” she said. “The awards do a great thing by celebrating people who work in care.”

Rebecca, who has worked with Premier Care for more than six years, started with the company as a care worker.

Through progression and gaining relevant qualifications, Rebecca is now one of its leaders in care planning and assessing an individual’s care.

Throughout her career with Premier Care she has demonstrated her ability to assess service users with complex needs and create a care plan that provides effective, person-centred care.

Premier Care managing director Daniel Isterling said: “Becky is a hardworking, compassionate and technically-gifted care manager who always puts her service users first.

“She has grown and learnt while working for us. She is the perfect example of what we try to achieve for our staff in terms of development and nurturing.

“Becky now has a career to be proud of and a bright future ahead of her.”

Premier Care, which has provided home care services to Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire for more than 20 years, is rated good by the Care Quality Commision.
