- We announced earlier in the week that we had two Employees of the Month for November and showed our appreciation of 'Thanks' as Carer of the Month on Tuesday. Today we would like to congratulate 'Zephira' as Carer of the Month. 🏆

Not only has Zephira been extremely helpful with one of the people we care for, she has received some outstanding external feedback 👇

“Her work ethic is outstanding. She is gentle and deeply compassionate. Zephira is a strong advocate for her patients and their care. She is truly compassionate and full of zeal, with an excellent spirit. Fully committed to patient care."

We have some wonderful people working at Care First 24 but both 'Thanks' and 'Zephira' shone brightly this month. Thank you. 🙏🙏

During week Care First 24 is proud to stand alongside the charity UK HOMES 4 HEROES PRIDE & PASSION

For almost 12 years, the charity’s dedicated teams have been out on the streets, supporting veterans whenever and wherever they can. Their work depends on the generosity of the UK public and people willing to help provide a safe place to sleep and a chance for those who served to rebuild their lives.

Homes4Heroes carries out incredible work for our veterans. If you’d like to show your support this Christmas and throughout the year, please visit the link below to learn more: https://www.ukh4h.org/home
