in memory of Joan and Louis Freedman o”h

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.

This year we have had a ground-breaking response, receiving 441 nominations!

Over the next upcoming weeks, a panel of Angela Beerman, Director of HR, our CEO, Daniel Carmel-Brown, a Trustee Board member and a representative from our Staff Forum will have the important task of shortlisting nominations and deciding who the winners will be.

All winners will be announced at our Staff Awards celebration on the 30 November 2023.

Please click the drop-downs below for a list of our nominations for each award category.
