Council's Wokingham caring profession celebrates its success
More than 15 high-achieving members of Wokingham Borough Council's community care staff who attained nationally recognised qualifications over the past 12 months were recognised at a special achievement ceremony this week.
Monday July 21 saw Pat Brecknock, general manager community care, present certificates of achievement to a contingent of hardworking staff.
Among those receiving certificates at the celebration of achievement were Wokingham home care and residential care workers, staff working with people with sensory needs, those providing services for vulnerable adults and staff who help people with learning disabilities and/or physical disabilities.
The qualifications they have attained in the past year range from NVQs in health and social care, post qualifying awards in management studies and a diploma in working with visually impaired people.
In addition, five special achievement awards were presented to recognise the outstanding contributions made by individual members of staff.
Pat Brecknock said: “Congratulations to all our go-getting staff who should feel proud of their success. These awards are a way for us to show our appreciation of their hard work and I am delighted staff are achieving such a broad range of academic qualifications. It’s not at all easy to study while you have a full time job, but our staff are always so keen to undertake new training and this is one of the reasons why we are able to deliver even better services to vulnerable people who need assistance from the council.”
