MINSTER Grange Care Home in York is celebrating after its head of housekeeping Natalie Hatfield was awarded the ‘Ancillary Person of the Year Award’ at the Maria Mallaband and Countrywide Care Awards.
Natalie, who has worked at Minster Grange for nine years, was named as a joint winner for this award alongside Rebecca Cessford, from Clarendon Court at the recent ninth annual internal MMCG Awards.
She said:
“I was so honoured to have been shortlisted for this award, let alone go on to win it with Rebecca. Knowing the passion I have for my job has been recognised by the judges is such a reassuring thought and truly makes all my hard work feel worth the effort.
“I am looking forward to sharing this achievement with the rest of my colleagues at Minster Grange, I know how excited for me they will be and it will be such a great boost for the home. I can’t wait to celebrate with everyone.”
Specifically designed to celebrate those in ancillary roles, the winner of the Ancillary Person of the Year Award is someone who provides superior support to the residents.
It was thanks to her constant determination that Natalie was selected as a joint winner for this award. Throughout her career she has continued to go above and beyond what was expected of her, becoming an essential part of running the Minster Grange home and consistently keeping it in tip-top shape.
