Celebrating wins at Care Awards
Our care service, Cross Keys Care, is celebrating having won the prestigious ‘Care Employer’ award in the Great British Care Awards, Eastern Region.
Care Worker, Debbie Lovett, also won the Care Newcomer award, recognising the journey she has been on since joining us with no prior care experience. Debbie’s passion and dedication shone through from day one, and she is now an integral part of the team, valued by managers, colleagues and service users alike.
Cross Keys Care takes a totally ‘people focused’ approach to our business, and that relates as much to employees as service users. Our focus is not just about delivering exceptional care to clients but also on teamwork and helping employees achieve their full potential.
Care workers are the heart of the company and we continually invest in them. Our training programme encompasses apprentices and trainee care workers, NVQ’s and care specific training, offering a clear learning pathway with promotion opportunities for those who wish to progress their career.
Cross Keys Care has been operating for nine years and in that timewe have become Peterborough’s leading provider of independent living solutions, offering two extra care schemes, community care for people in their own homes and our LifeLine emergency alarm system. Our person centred care puts the client’s needs at the heart of the service and is able to combine technology and traditional personal care to ensure people are able to live the life they want, in their own home.
Our extra care community, Kingfisher Court was also recognised in the Home Care Team award.
Claire Higgins, our Chief Executive, said of the award wins: “Cross Keys Care is dedicated to excellence in everything we do, and it is fantastic to have this commitment recognised. As one of Peterborough’s leading employers, we value our employees enormously and will always try to help them to achieve their full potential. Debbie has shown just what can be achieved with her own dedication and the support of a great team behind her and we are all thrilled for her.”
