Six team members from the Braemar Presbyterian Care workforce have been acknowledged in the organisation’s annual Care and Friendship awards, which were hosted this week at the Raffles Hotel.
The awards, which are based on nominations from residents throughout Braemar’s three facilities in Fremantle and the surrounding area, together with their families, acknowledge the dedication shown by the individual staff members concerned.
The award winners were chosen from a pool of over 80 nominated staff and include:
The overall employee of the year was Jennifer Russo from Braemar Cooinda, who was recognised for her outstanding and consistent contribution to Braemar residents over the year.
Wayne Belcher (OAM), Chief Executive of Braemar, said the annual Care and Friendship awards were an important opportunity to recognise employees who demonstrate excellence in their work in aged care.
“Staff at Braemar strive for excellence in every area and it gives us great pleasure to acknowledge a number of team members in particular who consistently go above and beyond what is expected,” Mr Belcher says.
“Aged care is a difficult and dynamic industry to work in, however it is also very rewarding and makes a real difference to the lives of those in our care. Susan, Deborah, Gagandeep, Demi, Andrea and Jennifer embody the Braemar care and friendship values, and we’re very proud to acknowledge their achievements in this way.”
Sponsored by HESTA, the awards honour Braemar staff who display the values of Care and Friendship that are characterised as Commitment, Accountability, Respect, Empathy and Friendship.
Braemar has lived by these values since 1952 – hence Care and Friendship since 1952, and they represent the tagline of the organisation.
Braemar Presbyterian Care is a community ministry of the Presbyterian Church in Western Australia. Braemar operates three residential care facilities providing 220 residential places.
