Hayling care home celebrates achievement and dedication

The attitude for all the Wimborne staff is that they are working in their resident’s home, not that the resident lives where they work. Great outcomes for residents are prized above all, and the quality of the staff is second to none.

At Wimborne they are very proud to celebrate the achievements of two senior staff in their team. Katherine (Kate) Jones and Martha Curtis have recently completed their NVQ Level 3 Health and Social care with distinction. This qualification represents not only a significant academic achievement but also a deep commitment to delivering the very highest standards of care. For both Martha and Kate, it represents about 600 hours of study in a year’s period.

Completing a Level 3 Diploma requires months of study, reflection and practical assessment in the workplace, demonstrating excellence in areas such as person-centred care, safeguarding, communication and supporting resident’s wellbeing. Achieving a Distinction recognises exceptional dedication, professionalism and compassion – qualities that Kate and Martha demonstrate every day in the care they provide to residents and families

Wimborne’s General Manger Stephen Stace commented: “Well done to Martha, our Head of Housekeeping and Kate one of our Senior Care team, we are delighted to celebrate their achievement. As long serving and highly valued members of our team we are delighted to recognise their success. Investing in learning and development is central to life here at Wimborne. We encourage and support our staff to grow their skills and knowledge to ensure that our residents benefit from the most informed, thoughtful and compassionate care possible. Their hard work, perseverance and passion for care really reflects the values that make Wimborne Care Home such a special community.’
