Linda Hiles, ancillary supervisor at Lewis Martin Court near Cardiff, has been named as the winner of The Ancillary Worker Award in the Great British Care Awards for Wales.

Linda was nominated for the outstanding work she has done since early 2020, in a service which supports young people with complex disabilities.

Lewis Martin Court is operated by Ambito Care and Support, part of Salutem Care and Education.

The nomination was submitted to the judging panel by Lewis Martin Court’s manager, Sarah Davies, who said: Linda has been incredible and an absolute asset to Lewis Martin Court throughout the pandemic. I really don’t know what we would have done without her. Everyone needs a Linda!”

The Great British Care Awards are a series of regional events throughout the UK and are a celebration of excellence across the care sector. The awards pay tribute to individuals who have demonstrated outstanding work within their field.

Linda Hiles said: “It was a real honour just to be nominated for the Great British Care Awards, and then to win was absolutely incredible. I couldn’t do it without the support of my fantastic team.

“The work we do supporting young people with complex needs is so valuable. During the pandemic it was sometimes very difficult, but it is incredibly rewarding, and I love doing it.

“I’d like to say thank you to Sarah for nominating me for this award.”

Linda will be invited to attend the national finals of the Great British Care Awards later in the month.

John Godden MBE, CEO of Salutem Care and Education, said: “On behalf of the whole Salutem family, I’d like to congratulate Linda for this extraordinary recognition.

“She is clearly an inspiration to her colleagues and the individuals she supports. This award is well deserved, and I wish her the best of luck for the national finals.”
