Awards
We depend on the skills and professionalism of our staff and each year we recognise and celebrate their outstanding achievements through our staff awards ceremony, Our Stars.
Our Stars 2018
We believe in recognising the contribution of each member of our team and highlighting their achievements which is vital in boosting staff morale. Our annual staff awards ceremony is a night of celebration where we showcase the innovation and dedication of our patient focused staff.
The Amvale Our Stars 2018 event will take place on Friday 2 November 2018 at The Baths Hall in Scunthorpe.
On the night we will be recognising those individuals and teams who go the extra mile to make a real difference to others. All too often our staff don’t realise that what they do is
special; they see the exceptional things they do as simply part of their daily job.
Award categories

Unsung Hero Award – There are many roles in our ‘back office functions’ that deserve recognition. The unsung hero award is for that special person who makes a difference day-in, day-out but goes largely unnoticed. |
 |
The Achiever Award – Each team has one, that ‘get things done’ person, the one who outperforms everyone else. The achiever is a vital cog in the wheel and always delivers, no matter what. They often exceed expectations and give their all to ensure deadlines are met. They get things done, on time, every time. |
 |

This award recognises newcomers to the Trust who have already made a noticeable difference and are surely set for a bright future. |
 |
Volunteer of the Year Award – We rely on our volunteers for many things; from that friendly face when visitors arrive on site to managing the patient library, helping out on the wards and in the chapel.
