Healthcare Support Worker Awards 2024
We are delighted to announce the winners of our 2024 Healthcare Support Worker Awards.
The awards, organised by the Careers Team at Joined Up Care Derbyshire, are designed to celebrate the fantastic work carried out by healthcare, care and all support workers.
The awards celebrate the incredible work of our unregistered workforce, and demonstrate the pivotal and diverse work they deliver and inspire others to follow in their footsteps.
