Our employee of the month for November, goes to Jagdish Sangle, Facilities Manager. Jagdish is an integral part of our Samarpan team, his work often goes unnoticed, but without his dedication and hard work the centre would not run as smoothly as it does. As much as Jagdish is involved in the day to day operations, he’s also often the person who families speak with initially when organising logistics to come to the centre. His fantastic organisation of our spending alumni event is testament to the high standards we aspire to at Samarpan. Martin Peters and Obi Unaka are delighted to present a certificate of appreciation for his great work. From all of us at Samarpan, thank you Jagdish.
In the spirit of Diwali, our staff and clients adorned traditional Indian wear, creating a vibrant celebration of unity and joy. We broke the stereotype of rehab being always serious, savouring every moment of recovery together.
Plus, our restaurant featured a special Diwali menu, adding an extra layer of delight to the festivities. The vibe and energy were truly amazing! Grateful for the Diwali memories shared.
There were some ghostly goings on at Samarpan today, with some haunting sights and sounds. Our clients and team were greeted by a somewhat terrifying ghost, who oversaw a special lunch provided by our kitchen team. Rehab is serious, but it’s also nice to have fun as can be seen by some of the photos of our Halloween lunch.
Martin Peters and Obi Unaka are delighted to present one-year completion awards to our staff team. Coming up for 18 months of operation now, we have a solid core team of staff and we are very grateful for all of the hard work that they have carried out, and their contribution to our clients’ recovery journey. Obi Unaka, Deputy Director of Residential Services said, “it is imperative that we have continuity in the staff team. We acknowledge the dedication they have shown and look forward to the year ahead”.
Every single member of staff contributes to our client’s recovery journey – for us at Samarpan we recognize that our staff make us the organization that we are. Our employee of the month for October is Nusrat Mulla our Housekeeping Supervisor. Nusrat has been at Samarpan for over a year now, and is responsible for ensuring that the centre is clean, tidy and that clients living accommodation and laundry is taken care of to the highest standard. Martin Peters, Director of Residential Services is pleased to present the well-deserved award to Nusrat and commented “Often people think that it’s the therapy team that do all of the work, top level rehab centres have many moving parts, and it’s important that all the staff work in tandem, we can’t do the therapy if all those other moving parts aren’t working smoothly. Nusrat is a very valued member of our team”.
Samarpan are delighted to have Poorva Puntambekar join our clinical team at Mulshi. Poorva who is originally from Mumbai, has recently completed her Masters in Psychotherapy at The University of Derby in The United Kingdom. As our organization continues to grow and evolve, we are pleased to add more highly skilled professionals into our team. Martin Peters, Director of Residential Services said “We are committed to recruiting qualified staff who have a sound background in therapy, psychology or mental health. Rehab programs need to ensure that staff are suitability qualified, so that they can help address the complexities that clients present. The days of rehab programs being staffed and run by people just in their own personal recovery are long gone – there is a need to ensure that clients get the very best treatment, by the very best staff”.
