Every year at Majesticare, we eagerly anticipate our Annual Star Awards—an occasion dedicated to rewarding, recognising, and celebrating the exceptional contributions of our magnificent teams and dedicated care workers. Over the years, each event has been uniquely themed, creating memorable experiences for all.
This Christmas, we embarked on an interstellar journey with a theme that resonated across the cosmos— our Star Wars Awards Night, set in a galaxy far, far away! The force was truly with us as we transformed our venue into an otherworldly realm, blending the magic of the holidays with the iconic elements of the Star Wars universe. From the likes of Chewbacca, Han Solo, Princess Leia, Darth Vader, and a squad of Storm Troopers joining us in our awesome photo booth… the night was set to be out of this world!
As the anticipation grew for our prestigious award celebrations, we dined on a three-course meal accompanied by delicious drinks, galaxy-inspired music, and a celestial atmosphere. A spellbinding magician, donned in the iconic attire of Luke Skywalker, captivated our esteemed guests with table side tricks in between courses.
Behind each glimmering award lies a thoughtful curation by our central team. Each category was handpicked to explore elements of care, ancillary services, leadership, happiness, remarkable recognition, long service, and unwavering commitment. In a momentous ceremony, the deserving winners were presented with their gleaming star trophy—a symbol of their stellar achievements and dedication.
The crescendo of our spectacular night unfolded with an electrifying performance by the sensational Big Ian and his band, dressed as super Storm Troopers adding an element of surprise to their performance! The stage came alive with the harmonious melodies, setting the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable conclusion to our celebration. As the festivities continued, our teams took centre stage with spirited karaoke renditions. The pièce de résistance came in the form of a flawless performance by our CEO, Angela Boxall, leaving the audience in awe. The dance floor continued with infectious beats as our Majesticare Family danced the night away.
Our Rising Star Newcomer Winner Award, was awarded to the wonderful Manish Karki, Oaktree Court Care Home, Somerset. Manish has become an invaluable member of our Majesticare Family. Joining as a Healthcare Assistant in February 2023, Manish’s journey from overseas, facilitated by Recruit 2 Care, showcases his exceptional talent at Oaktree Court in Wellington, Somerset. Since his arrival, Manish has demonstrated extraordinary kindness and generosity, earning admiration from both the team and residents, becoming a truly deserving winner of our Rising Star Award.
We reached out to Recruit2Care to share the news of Manish’s achievements. Director, Joe Desmond shared a comment about Manish’s success:
“Recruit2Care was founded 14 months ago in response to labour shortages in the UK social care sector, recognising the vital role played by overseas care staff. It has been an incredibly fulfilling journey up to this point and I have forged some strong relationships with employers up and down the country.
For any recruiter, the importance of taking time to understand each employer’s own values and ethos should not be understated. This is the key to taking a personalised approach and means the provider can focus on exceptional care provision for it’s clients.
Manish was one of the first candidates I placed, so he has always held a special memory for me. It was such a joy to hear that he won an award! It’s my firm belief that overseas staff like Manish have contributed to a more well-rounded social care workforce by bringing a diverse set of skills, knowledge, and experience to this country.
Recruit2Care’s philosophy is that overseas staff should be treated as valued human beings and respected members of their care team – not just a business solution. Majesticare have demonstrated this through a strong commitment to supporting their overseas staff far beyond the onboarding process. It is great to see them reaping the rewards!”
Majesticare value’s all our team members equally. We pride ourselves on equal opportunities and recognising the hard work and dedication of all our team members. We can’t wait to see where will we end up at this year’s Star Awards!
