Two local care workers have been recognised for their work supporting adults with learning disabilities and complex needs.
Two care workers from Bradford and Keighley have been named as finalists in the Yorkshire and Humber region of the Great British Care Awards.
Raymond “Ray” Morrisroe, from Longfield House in Clayton, is a finalist for the Care Home Worker Award, while Karen Jones, from Cygnet Hawkstone in Keighley, has been shortlisted for the Putting People First Award.
Mr Morrisroe has worked in social care for 15 years and has been recognised for his dedication to providing high-quality, person-centred support.
He said he felt proud to have his work recognised, adding that he was both overwhelmed and surprised to have been nominated for what he described as simply doing his job.
Longfield House is a specialist residential service in Clayton, supporting adults with learning disabilities and complex needs.
The Care Home Worker Award recognises staff who treat people with dignity and respect, encourage independence and consistently go above and beyond in their roles.
Meanwhile, Karen Jones has been shortlisted for her commitment to empowering the people she supports and helping them achieve greater choice and control over their lives.
She works at Cygnet Hawkstone on Shann Lane in Keighley, a specialist residential service for adults with learning disabilities.
The Yorkshire and Humber regional awards ceremony will be held at the Royal Armouries in Leeds on Friday, 6 November 2026.
