‘Phenomenal’ Wakefield carer honoured with Employee of Year Award at business awards

A care manager is celebrating after being named Employee of the Year at the Wakefield Business Awards.

Janice Hislop was nominated by her colleagues at home care provider Bluebird Care Wakefield and Kirklees for her unbelievable passion and dedication to people who need care and support in their own homes.

As the Business Awards judges acknowledged, Janice’s drive and determination never wavers.

Earlier this year, she took great lengths to ensure customers were cared for during severe snowstorms. But Janice trekked through inches of snow on foot for hours covering care calls to ensure that everyone was cared for.

Long-term customer, Ian Jarman, who received a visit from Janice during the bad weather, said: “When the snow set in, I was not expecting to venture outside for several days, let alone to welcome any visitors, so imagine my surprise and delight when Janice arrived for a visit.

"Janice makes sure that I have everything I need and is wonderful company, so it was a real joy to see her despite the awful weather outside.”
