Can you honestly say that you make a difference to somebody else in your job? Helping to make people smile is an integral part of daily life working at Middleton Hall Retirement Village and there are currently some rarely available opportunities available to join the team there.
The award-winning retirement village in Middleton St George near Darlington is expanding its operations and is looking to appoint people interested in becoming the next passionate, caring, committed and well-rewarded employee.
An area where the teams are being extended is in the village’s innovative Middleton Oaks service. Comprising households developed for people who wish to lead as independent a life as possible but require a high level of practical nurturing support, Middleton Oaks is aimed at supporting those living with the onset of dementia.
Kirsty Wilson-Hartley, Middleton Oaks Deputy Manager, who worked in community care before she joined the team, explained: “We predominantly support people with memory issues, from early stage through to late stage, no days are the same. You’ve got to have a passion to want to deliver care to people but it’s about caring for people, making them smile, making them laugh.”
Nicola Angus, a Senior Support worker in Middleton Oaks added: “The best thing about my job is caring for people and the joy you get from seeing them happy when you put on parties and help them do things they enjoy."
She added: “Middleton Hall is like a five-star luxury hotel for residents. It is the best!”
Middleton Hall Retirement Village is unusual in its sector in that it is owned by its employees. People who work there are Co-owners of the business, which provides a greater opportunity to make a difference and be involved with the future direction of the company.
The business is based on a people-focused caring culture and career progression is always on offer for those who work there.
Lead Carer Zoe Kane who works in Middleton Hall’s Middleton Gardens residential care service has just celebrated ten years working as part of the team.
“I love working at Middleton Hall because I have had the opportunity to progress, train and develop from being a young carer working on a Saturday to now being a lead carer working in the service.”
Amanda Smith, Senior Support Worker who has worked at Middleton Hall for fifteen years, added: “I absolutely love my job, it is so rewarding. I get to meet lovely people and I wouldn’t change it for the world.”
