Worcester housing provider named employer of the year
A SUPPORTED housing provider has been named employer of the year.
Sanctuary Supported Living, based at Chamber Court on Castle Street, Worcester, won the Housing with Care Employer Award at this year's national Housing with Care Awards.
The recognition highlights the organisation's commitment to supporting its staff through development opportunities, peer support and a strong sense of purpose.
Dave Shaw, operations director at Sanctuary Supported Living, said: "I'm incredibly proud of our teams for this well-deserved recognition.
"Winning the employer award is a testament to the passion, dedication and heart that our colleagues bring to their work every day.
"At Sanctuary Supported Living, we believe in helping people to be their best – whether that's our customers or our colleagues, and everything we do is tailored around achieving that goal.
"By creating places where everyone feels supported, valued and inspired, we're not just developing careers, but homes and communities where people can truly thrive."
Sanctuary Supported Living offers housing, care, and personalised support for a wide range of people, including homeless young people and adults, individuals with mental health needs or learning and physical disabilities, and older adults in retirement communities.
The award follows last year's success at the Learning Disability and Autism Awards, where the organisation won the Supported Housing Award.
Judges at this year's Housing with Care Awards said: "Their commitment to transparency keeps staff informed, valued, and engaged at all levels.
"Many examples show how this culture empowers teams to deliver outstanding care, proving that staff dedication truly makes the difference."
This is the third consecutive year that Sanctuary Supported Living has been recognised at the national Housing with Care Awards.
The organisation's latest achievement reflects its ongoing focus on delivering high-quality care and support services that help residents live as independently as possible and achieve their personal goals.
Sanctuary Supported Living has recently launched a chef apprenticeship programme at its Noble House retirement community in Worcester, further expanding opportunities for career development within the organisation.
