RESIDENTS and staff at Vecta House in Newport applauded as care assistants Sophie Hirst, Karen Ferrari, Dainis Laizans and deputy manager Hadrian Rodriguez were named as the four Employees of the Week during May.

The quartet were recognised for going above and beyond in their roles to ensure the safety and wellbeing of residents and to support members of staff at Vecta House.

The four recipients of the award were nominated by colleagues who felt they deserved extra recognition for the amazing work they do every day.

The four were congratulated by the home’s general manager, Nichola Shepherd, for the achievement and presented with a £25 voucher each as a special thank you.

Nichola said: “I am delighted to have such a caring and talented staff working as part of our team and I hope these Employee of the Week awards go some way towards showing how much their hard work is valued.”
