Her dedication to caring for others in the city is one of the many reasons she received this civic award, after supporting individuals with Covid-19 and their loved ones.

Jordan regularly goes above and beyond for those in her care, both in and outside of work, and staff at Care UK’s Pear Tree Court have been celebrating her success.

Niki Richards, home manager at Pear Tree Court, said: ‘We are incredibly proud of Jordan for the outstanding level of care she provides for those both at Pear Tree Court and in the wider community.

‘Jordan cares for others like they are all members of her own family, and we are incredibly lucky to have such a considerate, kind and generous person living in our community, and as a wonderful ambassador for Pear Tree Court.
