Barking Hall’s Charlie Roe has been named Apprentice of the Year in the Suffolk Care Awards 2022.
Run by Care Development East the Suffolk Care Awards recognise and celebrate the work of the care sector and the local communities that have continued to support them.
The Apprentice of the Year Award is open to anyone working within the care sector and celebrates an apprentice who is making an exceptional contribution to their workplace and having a positive impact on their colleagues and clients.
Charlie is a Trainee Associate Practitioner at Barking Hall, studying her apprenticeship qualification through the Healthcare Homes Academy. Initially employed as a night carer, she now works day shifts as part of the nursing team. Charlie has become the manual handling champion at the Barking home, ensuring all residents are assessed for, and have, the correct slings in place.
She has long standing dementia care knowledge and shares her knowledge and ability with others in both the nursing and care teams.
Barking Hall nursing home manager Susan Oates said, “Charlie is a colourful character, funny and wonderful with our dementia residents, she has an intuitive ability to know what is needed if a resident living with dementia should become distressed in any way.
“Her calm, can-do attitude goes a long way in ensuring Barking Hall is a calm, friendly home for all of our residents.”
