January 2020 Employee of the month joint winners, Pearl Walker and Connie Rinu, are adult Care Workers from Ashchurch House in Hornchurch.

Connie and Pearl worked together to ensure that a terminally ill service user was cared for with dignity and respect after his passing, this meant staying after their shift to hand over the gentleman to the funeral directors. They ensured that the sensory lights he loved so much remained on whilst they attended to him and whilst the staff said their goodbyes, a really touching gesture.

Thank you, Connie and Pearl, for your care and dedication.

Both staff were awarded a certificate and a gift voucher by Karen Jarritt, Head of People and Engagement.
