The Jewish Care Staff Awards recognise, acknowledge and reward Jewish Care staff who go above and beyond. The categories for nominations are based on who we are and what we do at Jewish Care. They help us shine the spotlight on our great employees and celebrate their amazing work and efforts!

This year there are 11 different nomination categories and winners of these categories will be announced at the celebration event and receive a prize. A panel that is made up of our CEO, Daniel-Carmel-Brown, a Trustee Board member, our Director of People, Olukemi Jeboda and a representative from our Staff Forum.
