Emma McEvily was joined at the awards at the ICC in Birmingham by colleagues from the Erdington-based trust, as she was among the nominees in the in the Support Worker Category.

The regional awards night was attended by around 500 people, representing the best of the care industry.

Emma's journey in the care sector began just six years ago when she returned to work after raising her family.

In this relatively short period of time, she has demonstrated an unwavering commitment to the well-being and happiness of the residents of the Trust.

Emma (pictured) said: “I've loved my time here and cherish my relationships with the residents.

“We've seen them through some hard times, and they feel like an extended family to me.”

Although Emma didn’t win, her colleagues paid tribute to her efforts, with Denise Barrett, a registered manager at Lisieux Trust, saying: “The way she's developed is a credit to her.

"We had one resident who wanted to raise money for Alzheimer's and also needed to become more active. Emma worked out how many steps she needed to complete to achieve a marathon, and she did it alongside her over a period of time.

“It was a wonderful thing to do. It gave the resident confidence, a sense of purpose and of course, exercise, but it is also very characteristic of Emma's approach. I was delighted to nominate her again.”
