In this #GoodNewsFriday, we hear about a Warwickshire care company who has been given a special award.

Unique Senior Care has, for the second time, been recognised in the prestigious Princess Royal Training Awards.

Based in Stratford upon Avon, Unique Senior Care is one of just five social care providers to receive the award in 2024. The company was first honoured with the accolade in 2021, since then, they have doubled in size and achieved ‘Centre for Excellence’ status by Â鶹ÉäÇø.

They provide domiciliary care in South Warwickshire, Coventry & Kenilworth, Solihull, and the surrounding areas. The company also offers live-in care across the UK, with a focus on delivering tailored, high-quality care that allows clients to maintain their independence in the comfort of their own homes.

The Princess Royal Training Awards, run by City & Guilds, honours UK organisations that excel in training and development. Winners are chosen by a panel of industry experts, including past award recipients and top professionals in learning and development.

Unique Senior Care was recognised not just for its training programmes but for its holistic approach to staff development. The company champions a culture where knowledge is shared, and mentorship is integral. This ensures that every senior staff member and manager is equipped to support their care teams, helping them meet the unique needs of their clients with professionalism and empathy.

Jo Cleary, Learning and Development Manager at Unique Senior Care, said:

This award really speaks to the heart of what we do. For us, it’s always about putting people above all else and this recognition highlights our commitment to our team’s development and well-being. We’ve always aimed to build an environment where they can flourish, advance in their careers, and feel truly fulfilled in their roles. When our Caregivers are well-supported, it directly benefits our clients, ensuring they receive the highest quality support.

Jo added:

Being recognised again means our clients can trust that their care is in the hands of professionals who are highly skilled and continually growing. Our training ensures that both our office and management teams as well as our Caregivers are confident, knowledgeable, and genuinely committed to providing the best care to our clients. I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to our entire team for their dedication and hard work—this award is down to your passion and commitment.
