ANNE HOLLAND, SABRINA NASH, AND LESLEY ALLEN – CARE TEAM AWARD WINNERS

Lesley, Sabrina, and Anne make up the operations team at Holmleigh Care, together with Michelle Cox-Coley. There has been a lot of change at Holmleigh in recent years, with a new management structure in place which is committed to driving changes and improvements throughout the organisation. As well as overseeing dayto-day operations, the team is pioneering culture change, driving up quality, and implementing new policies and procedures.

As a team, they are incredibly passionate about their roles and have a real drive and sense of purpose.

As always, the team is driven and committed to getting the best quality of life for those we support, looking at their goals and aspirations, and supporting them to achieve them. They are responsive and supportive of the service managers and their teams, with a real presence in service, offering a hands-on approach and practical support at all times. Their commitment, passion, and ability to communicate well with their teams make them excellent leaders, who motivate and coach their teams to deliver excellent support – with continuous improvement at its heart.

This caring and supportive ethos are also evident within the team itself. Despite having their own areas to cover, each member of the team will make sure that they are present and have all hands on deck to offer support when needed. This demonstrates their awareness of shared team goals, as well as an ability to cooperate on a personal and professional level.

The team is resilient and flexible, ready to handle anything that comes their way. They balance professionalism and commitment to their roles with an unrivaled team culture of engagement, integrity, fun, and openness. Crucially, they also know when to step in and help one another, by sharing resources, offering support, or sharing experience and expertise. A real team spirit!
