We're happy to announce the Hollybank Trust Carer of the Month for November 2019 is Leanne Wainwright an Activities Coordinator at the Hollybank Elms facility. The nomination reads:

"Leanne has worked for Hollybank Trust for 25 years in various roles. She is a very valued member of the enrichment team in her capacity as an activity co-ordinator.

In recent months Leanne has taken on the responsibility of organising all the Elms offsite activities including closing down for sailing season, implementing bowling and ice skating by liaising with the community provider, transport, residential homes and enrichment team. She has ensured that our adults participate in all the planned off-site activities in addition to her usual work tasks.

Leanne has increased her performance within her moving and handling facilitator position in which she supports, mentors and ensures compliance of the team with the trust’s moving and handling guidelines.

Within this role Leanne now also reviews moving and handling programmes for our external service users and has delivered moving and handling training to the external PA’s to strengthen the quality of care our day service adults receive when they visit the Trust.

Leanne is a great asset to the enrichment team."

Keep up the great work!
