The Chief Nurse for Adult Social Care Awards are designed to recognise and celebrate the exceptional contributions of nurses and care workers within the adult social care sector in England. The awards aim to acknowledge and reward the significant and outstanding contributions of those working in adult social care. They highlight individuals who go above and beyond their everyday roles, demonstrating excellence in care, leadership, and inspiration. A key goal is to raise the profile of nursing in social care, inspiring future generations to consider this vital career path.
For four decades, Mairead Liston has combined exceptional nursing with dedicated charitable work. Indeed, her vision led to the founding of Cavendish Homecare, and for 35 years, she has guided this leading London home care service to achieve CQC ‘Outstanding’ recognition, thus exemplifying her commitment to quality. Mairead’s nurturing leadership and inherent compassion inspire her team. Similarly, this same compassion fuels her continuous dedication to numerous charitable causes. When COVID-19 struck, she acted decisively, first ensuring staff safety, then expediting the safe discharge of vulnerable patients, and furthermore offering critical support to families facing immense challenges.
Choosing Cavendish Homecare means choosing a provider dedicated to excellence. We understand that trust and quality matter, and we strive to exceed expectations every step of the way.
