A BROMSGROVE care home has received an award for its commitment to inclusive employment.

Burcot Grange and Lodge was presented with the inclusive employer award at Heart of Worcestershire College’s graduation evening on June 3.

The award recognises the care home’s support for young people with additional learning needs through the college’s supported internship programme.

Vicky Osborne, general manager at Burcot Grange and Lodge, said: "We’re incredibly proud to receive this award, it means a great deal to us.

"Supporting students through their placements and seeing them grow in confidence is so rewarding.

"This is very much a team award.

"Our residents and team members all play a part in making our home a supportive, welcoming place for young people starting out in the world of work."

The programme has become a valued part of life at the home, with several students going on to secure permanent employment there.
