Managers at Park Place nominated Gill, 62, for the Social Care Nurse of the Year Award.

Gill started at Elmwood House five years ago but has not always worked in care. She used to be a playgroup supervisor at Boston’s Unitarian Pre-School, but always felt a calling to helping others, eventually following her heart and qualifying as a nurse in 2003.

Park Place village manager Sue Scarlett said: “We are all overjoyed that Gill has made the final of the Lincolnshire Care Awards, she works extremely hard and fully deserves it.”

Winners will be revealed at a ceremony next month.
