Animal Carer Awarded

A 37 year old animal carer from Worcestershire, Lis Milsom, has scooped a rare City and Guilds Medal for Excellence award in recognition of her exceptional work.
 
Lis, a Canine Carer at Dogs Trust Evesham, beat over 1.8 million eligible learners across the country and is one of only 118 lucky people to scoop the 2010 award for outstanding performance for the Level 3 in Animal Care NVQ.
 
The Medals for Excellence programme awards talented people who have displayed exceptional standards as students or educational professionals, and whose portfolio and achievements put them a cut above the rest.
 
Calling her a real asset to the Dogs Trust rehoming centre, the City and Guilds judging panel said: “Lis has shown determination and originality in her coursework and has achieved very high standards. She is a deserving recipient of the Medal of Excellence and we are delighted to have chosen her for this award.”
 
Lis was presented with the medal at a special ceremony in Walsall on 12th March and said: “It’s wonderful to receive such great recognition for my hard work. Working with dogs is my dream job and I’ve been lucky to have been with Dogs Trust for over 11 years, helping rehabilitate and rehome thousands of rescue dogs over the years.
 
I’m now in the running for one of the rare City and Guild Lion Awards, which are dubbed the ‘education Oscars’. I’m no diva but I suspect I might blub if I win one of those too!”
 
Only nine Lion Awards are presented every year and the winners for 2010 will be announced next month at a gala event in London.
