Sharon has been an outstanding member of the Westward Care team for the last 20 years. Her commitment to social care and the pride she takes in caring for older people is evident in her daily activity. It’s clear her work is more than just a job to her – it’s a vocation to which she has committed 30 years of her life.

She leads her team by example and with empathy – guiding them through the particularly difficult times of caring through covid with great leadership. She has also secured a CQC ‘Outstanding’ rating for Headingley Hall, one of only a handful of homes in Leeds that has achieved this rating. So well done and well-deserved Sharon!

I am so proud to have received this award for Registered Manager of the Year from Leeds Quality in Care Awards 2022. I was totally taken by surprise when I found out and would like to thank my colleagues, especially John Beck, Senior Carer at Headingley Hall for nominating me.

I am really grateful for this accolade – especially after the challenging times we have all gone through in the care sector during covid - but this award is also for my team at Headingley Hall. Every one of them has contributed to making me the best manager I can be and their commitment and care to everyone at Headingley Hall is outstanding.
