Clare is a dedicated member of our Workforce Team. Her compassion, empathy, and unwavering commitment to supporting others shine through in everything she does. Her work with our internationally educated nurses is nothing short of exceptional. She plays a vital role in helping them adjust to new surroundings, new systems, and often a completely new way of life. Clare approaches each individual with genuine care, ensuring they feel welcomed, valued, and empowered from the moment they join our organisation.

Clare's support extends far beyond the boundaries of her formal role. She takes the time to truly listen to others recognising not only their professional needs but their emotional and personal challenges as well. She consistently creates an environment of psychological safety, where people feel able to express concerns, ask for help, and trust that they will be met with understanding rather than judgment.

Recently, Clare has provided extraordinary support to a colleague who has been navigating a very difficult period. She has shown exceptional sensitivity and compassion, checking in regularly and offering a steady, reliable presence. She has gone out of her way to ensure that this colleague felt supported both personally and professionally, doing everything she could to help them remain in work during a time when many would have struggled to continue. Her actions have made a profound difference, helping the colleague feel seen, valued, and not alone at a time when it mattered most.

Clare is a true embodiment of our Trust values. She demonstrates compassion in the way she builds trusting relationships and makes others feel safe and respected. She demonstrates inclusivity in her commitment to ensuring everyone, regardless of background, culture, or personal circumstance, feels part of the team. And she demonstrates dedication through her tireless work ethic, her willingness to go the extra mile, and her determination to ensure every person she supports receives the care and guidance they deserve.

Clare's kindness, integrity, and quiet yet powerful leadership make her an exceptional role model. She positively influences the culture of our organisation simply by being who she is, thoughtful, patient, driven, and deeply empathetic. Her impact is felt by individuals, by teams, and by the wider Trust.

For her profound humanity, her commitment to the well-being of others, and her outstanding embodiment of our values, Clare is a true DAISY nurse.
