Salutem

Salutem Care and Education has been shortlisted for the South West employer of the year award for its work in the region, including successfully turning around failing services in the region.

The prestigious national award recognises employers’ commitment to care and how this is achieving success in delivering an excellent service.

Salutem has more than 17 services for individuals with complex additional needs and disabilities in the region and is currently supporting Cornwall Council with a change in operator for an additional 13 facilities for adults with autism.

In September 2021, Salutem acquired Fox House and Buttermill Cottages following inspections by health and social care watchdog, the Care Quality Commission (CQC), which deemed the homes’ services as ‘inadequate’.

Since the services were taken on, Salutem has employed an additional 279 workers across the two homes, improving the conditions and services for the individuals they support.

John Godden MBE, CEO at Salutem Care and Education said: “We are honoured to have been shortlisted for the Great British Care Awards as we continue to strive for excellence across the organisation.

“By treating our staff well, we believe that our values are better transmitted across all our services, providing our users with the best possible care.

“Even if we do not win the award, I am very proud of all the staff, who have worked very hard, for us to have been shortlisted in the first place.”
