NHS Lanarkshire’s recruitment department is celebrating after winning three boxes of doughnuts for the whole team.
Jennifer (Jen) Brown, a recruitment administrator, had entered Radio Clyde 1’s McGhee bakery giveaway each week to try and win the delicious giveaway. The competition had been running every Friday and Jen was eager to win for her team.
Jen said: “I’ve been calling for around two months, I even called on the Fridays I was on annual leave.
“The week we won I thought I would try a different tactic and as soon as I heard George say ‘let’s give away those doughnuts’ I started calling.
“When the backstage crew answered the phone, I could not believe I had finally got through. I then thought at least we had a chance now to win the doughnuts. But I had no idea I was just going to be put through to the show as we had won.”
When entering the competition Jen had told Clyde 1 about the recruitment team and how hard they had worked throughout the last year. In the past year they have helped to recruit everyone from vaccinators, clerical staff, nurses and porters in order to help respond to the pandemic across NHS Lanarkshire.
Jen spoke highly about her team saying: “I was so excited for the team, there are less than 20 of us and I feel like they can be a forgotten resource. But without our team, we wouldn’t have the staff we do at this crucial time and they have worked their socks off and needed a little lift.
“The whole office was buzzing that day and this gave it the much-needed lift I was hoping for.”
The doughnuts were delivered to the team for a fun afternoon and Jen’s calling certainly paid off.
