Zofia Goddard, Group Occupational Therapist at Millennium Care, has won the National Care Home Worker Award at the Great British Care Awards.
After winning the regional prize, she fended off nine other amazing care workers from across the country at the prestigious event, at a time when the sector has never been more valued.
Millennium Care, an award-winning family-run care home provider in the North West, were delighted to see their Occupational Therapist win yet another outstanding award.
Kim, Home Manager at Worthington Lake Care Home said: “Zofia has massive amounts of passion and energy and uses innovative solutions to improve outcomes for her residents across a range of homes.
“She also works closely with the team and helps to empower them. She has a strong ethos of development and continuous improvements.”
Zofia said: “I was absolutely honoured, speechless and overwhelmed to be nominated in the first place. Even going to the Regionals was an out of body experience.
“It really meant a lot to me because I came into Millennium and built up this service myself. I joined in November 2019, just before Covid hit.
“I work with residents and, by providing a person-centred approach, I improve physical and mental wellbeing and support the homes by offering valuable advice into preventing falls and overall rebuilding independence.”
Zofia made it clear how much the role and award meant to her, but what’s even more rewarding for her was the support of her team:
“My colleagues made me feel so loved, I thanked them so much for all the support they’ve been able to provide, carrying me through and attending the events. I want to personally thank Kim, Home Manager at Worthington Lake, for nominating me. She knows how much it means to me on a personal level.”
