Caring Times say: 

“We’re looking for those who go beyond the job description. Whether it’s the gardener who brings residents their favourite cookies, or a housekeeper who helps residents to rediscover their hobbies – we’re searching for those who bring a little bit of extra joy into the care world.” 

The closing date for nominations is 16 May 2025. All winners will be announced in June.
