Happy Retirement Brenda!

The team and residents at Helena’s House hosted an afternoon tea to congratulate and celebrate Brenda, one of our Support Workers, in her retirement. All of the residents attended and signed a lovely card for Brenda to wish her well in retirement.

We caught up with Brenda ahead of her retirement:

What attracted you to apply to join the team?

I had previously been working in the Helena’s House building when it was a care home and so I was aware of the site. I saw an advertisement for the Support Worker role with Northern Healthcare and thought it would be interesting.

What have you enjoyed most about your role at Northern Healthcare?

I have enjoyed supporting the residents and seeing the positive impact that this support has had on them.

Please let us know about a standout memory from your time at Northern Healthcare.

Many of the standout memories from my time at Helena’s House are when the team and I have taken the residents on days out to museums or cathedrals, seeing the positive impact it has had and how much the residents enjoy it has been really great.

What would you say to someone thinking of joining the team?

I would say that Northern Healthcare is a lovely place to work, and Helena’s House has an incredibly good staff team.

Is there anything you would like to say to your fellow team members and residents?

I would like to thank all of my colleagues for making my time working at Helena’s House enjoyable. The staff have been a great team to work with and have always supported each other. I am going to miss all the residents and I wish them the best in the future.

Do you have any words of wisdom you would like to share from your time at Northern Healthcare?

My time at Northern Healthcare was very nice and I would like to thank all my colleagues – the Support Workers, Service Manager, Deputy Service Manager, and Team Leaders – for making my time at Helena’s House very welcoming.
