Awards

The care professional of the year awards are for all Leicestershire and Leicester city based adult social care providers. There are 16 award categories available for nomination. We want to ensure that all areas of the social care sector are represented, whether it be older people or specialist services, residential or home care. From frontline staff such as care workers and care managers to people who have made an impact in other ways such as training and office staff.

By nominating a colleague you will be celebrating their dedication and commitment and helping to raise the profile of the care sector as a whole.

Nominations are now closed for 2024! Check back soon to nominate for 2025!
