Oversteps manager makes finals for national award

We are delighted to share that one of our dedicated staff members, Jen MacDonald, has been nominated for the Stars of Social Care Awards. 

Jen, who works as service manager at Oversteps, a comfortable and happy home providing residential care to 24 older people in Dornoch, has been nominated in the Inspirational Care Home Manager category (North & Midlands). 

The annual awards, held at the Leonardo Royal in  London, celebrate social care heroes from across the UK. 

Reflecting on the nomination Jen said: “I’m really honoured to be nominated for the award, I couldn’t believe it at first. 

“We are a really good team here and it just feels good to see Oversteps recognised.” 

While unable to travel down for the ceremony on June 13th, Jen remains hopeful that she could pick up the accolade. 

She said: “It would be nice to win but I am just grateful to have been nominated.” 

Jen said that she hadn’t told any of the residents at Oversteps about her nomination yet but that she was sure they’d also be happy for her. 

The awards will be presented by This Morning’s Josie Gibson with all nominees also entered into a draw to win a holiday for two.  

We wish Jen the best of luck!
