Staff at Sanctuary Supported Living, a supported housing provider based in Chamber Court, Castle Street, are celebrating their success after winning the ‘Housing with Care Employer Award’ at the recent national Housing with Care industry awards.
The win at this year’s Housing with Care Awards follows on from last year’s win in the ‘Supported Housing Award’ category at the Learning Disability and Autism Awards, recognising that kind, caring and dedicated team members are at the heart of its success. Sanctuary Supported Living provides accommodation with personalised care and support for homeless young people and adults, people with mental health needs and learning or physical disabilities, as well as retirement communities for those aged over 55 or who have long-term care needs.
Through a compassionate leadership programme and innovative ‘Be Your Best’ staff ethos, this ‘Employer Award’ win underlines that Sanctuary Supported Living has created a workplace where colleagues feel valued, heard and inspired to grow, through meaningful development opportunities, strong peer support and a shared sense of purpose. Judges commented that: “Their commitment to transparency keeps staff informed, valued, and engaged at all levels. Many examples show how this culture empowers teams to deliver outstanding care, proving that staff dedication truly makes the difference.”
This year also marks the third consecutive year of success at the national Housing with Care Awards, reflecting Sanctuary Supported Living’s commitment to providing customers with the highest quality housing, care and support, ensuring that they can achieve their personal goals and live as independently as possible.
Sanctuary Supported Living’s Operations Director, Dave Shaw, said: “I’m incredibly proud of our teams for this well-deserved recognition. Winning the Employer Award is a testament to the passion, dedication and heart that our colleagues bring to their work every day. At Sanctuary Supported Living, we believe in helping people to be their best – whether that’s our customers or our colleagues, and everything we do is tailored around achieving that goal. By creating places where everyone feels supported, valued and inspired, we’re not just developing careers, but homes and communities where people can truly thrive.”
