Natalie's story
How did you find your role at MMCG?
I have always being involved in care, from looking after my grandparents as I was growing up and so on, I knew from early age that I wanted to work in care. I have known Tina Darbyshire the deputy manager at Alexandra Court all my life and I used to see her going to work every morning and seeing how much she was enjoying her work, motivated me to join the team here.
I have gained qualifications up to my level 3 prior starting working at Alexandra Court. During my time here I have worked as a senior for four years, during that period I further developed my knowledge in medication, became a first aider, a 'moving and handling' train the trainer, fire trainer and most recently became a 'day maker'.
What is the best thing about working at MMCG?
Working at Alexandra Court is like having a second family, it’s a nice place to work where all have a voice and we are all valued for the person that they are and what they bring to the team.
Making the residents and families happy, to get to know them and to support them to embrace life is my favourite thing about working in the Care sector at Alexandra Court.
The most rewarding part of my career at MMCG is having been recognised for my commitment to the residents, families and colleagues alike. I really enjoy working with people all life stages, by assisting them on their journey and even the grieving process with families and colleague. It’s rewarding to know that you have supported a resident to fulfil their wishes on their life journey.

Belinda, Support Services Manager
It’s the tiny things that really make a difference and seeing the reaction and joy on the Residents faces when for example you have just taken time to sit and chat to them, provided them with their favourite meal or decorated their room and put new furniture in.
Ryan, Service Support Practitioner
There have been so many rewarding parts of my career with MMCG, but the best one is when I become a senior carer. That was the best feeling, having touched the lives of our residents and making things better on daily basis.
Dan, Hospitality Manager
The most rewarding part of my careers so far with MMCG is when the team have a “light bulb” moment. I have been coaching the team to make improvements and so delighted when they come up with idea themselves and followed it though which was a huge brake-through moment with the team.
