“We are all supporting Steve whatever the result,” said Carewatch Leicester co-ordinator Kerry. “Everyone at Carewatch Leicester is delighted that Steve has been shortlisted and feels he thoroughly deserves his place as one of the finalists given the hard work he puts in. He does a wonderful job not only with the 62 members of staff he oversees but also goes the extra mile for his service users ensuring any problems or concerns are dealt with promptly. ”

The Great East Midlands Care Awards are part of a series of regional Great British Care Awards and are a celebration of excellence across the care sector. The awards have received support from across the social care sector, including the Adult Directors of Social Services (ADASS), Department of Health, the English Community Care Association (ECCA) and the Social Care Institute for Excellence (SCIE).  

The winners will go forward to the national finals to be held at London’s Royal Courts of Justice next summer.
