Meet the Mulberry Court Care Home Team

Hi, my name is Joshy and I am the Deputy Manager at Mulberry Court. 

I have been a qualified RGN since 2005 and have worked in nursing homes and rehabilitation centres and bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to the home.

In 2016 I relocated to York and joined the Mulberry Court team as a staff nurse progressing my career to Unit Manager and now Deputy Manager in 2020.  My aim is to deliver the highest standard of nursing care to our Residents.  I am a friendly and approachable person.

Hello, my name is Ida and I am one of the Unit Managers here at Mulberry Court. I have worked here for many years and enjoy providing high quality nursing care for residents.

The unit I am responsible for is called ‘The Ridings’ and is on the ground floor of the building. I like to encourage team cooperation and good communication, and create an atmosphere that feels welcoming for everybody.

I worked at Mulberry Court as a Bank Nurse for many years, whilst also having a career in the NHS. In 2017, I was invited to apply for the role of Unit Manager by the management team. I was successful in my application and took up the post in July of that year.

The unit I am responsible for is called ‘Regency Suite’ and is on the first floor of the building. I am very proud of the work I do at Mulberry Court, promoting good nursing care for residents and fostering a sense of team spirit and a welcoming atmosphere.

Hi, my name is Alison and I am the Administrator here at Mulberry Court.

I joined the team at Mulberry Court in 2008 and have worked in administration for most of my working career. I am responsible for all the financial activities in the home along with all general administration. I take great pride in ensuring that, as far as possible, everything runs like clockwork.

I am here to welcome you into the home and am always happy to offer assistance and support.

Hi my name is Zoe I am the lead activities co-ordinator here at Mulberry Court, I started in January 2024 having previously worked at another care home on reception, however I  started doing more and more activities with the resident’s there so when I got the chance to move across to a Barchester home and do the role of lead I took the opportunity.

I have always enjoyed organising and am usually the one in the family who brings everyone together and sorts things so I feel I have found my true calling!

I am so lucky to be able to say I love my job, no two days are ever the same, although every day is so rewarding and to know I have made a difference to someone is the greatest feeling whether that’s through a group activity or an individual room visit to even stopping and saying a few words to them.

Hi I'm Mark I am the new head chef here at Mulberry Court care home, I've been working in the hospitality sector for over 20 years now after starting in a country pub at the tender age of just 14 washing up!

That is where they began to teach me how to cook and that’s when my love for cooking and this career path began, once I’d finished my exams at school, I then went to York college to gain both experience and a recognised qualification.

As I progressed and furthered my career, I worked in several places before I then became head chef at a number of busy restaurants both in and around the York area developing my skills further as I went. 

Outside of work a have two young children who are my absolute world and when I am not at work, I will be found doing something with them. 

Hi my name is Craig and I took on the role as head of maintenance in June 2024 after running my own property maintenance business for around 4 years, it has been a big change for me from working on my own for so long to being part of a team again but no two days are ever the same here at mulberry with lots of variation in the jobs/tasks that I do on a daily basis.

It’s nice to be able chat to residents whilst carrying out my work and hearing their stories, life experiences and learning about their varied backgrounds. 

I have settled in well here at mulberry and I look forward to using my knowledge and background for some projects around the lovely home and award winning gardens we have here at Mulberry Court. 

Hi my name is Debbie and I am the Hospitality Services Manager here at Mulberry Court. I have worked at Mulberry Court for 20 years starting as a carer and then onto housekeeping and hospitality.

I enjoy my job very much particularly meeting and speaking to residents on my rounds. I pride myself on having high standards and am dedicated to maintaining a clean and tidy homely environment with the support of my housekeeping team.

I am always willing to help out wherever I can and believe in teamwork to give our residents the best lifestyle we can.

Hi, I am Eileen. I have been living at Mulberry Court since 2021.

I love living at Mulberry and wouldn’t want to be anywhere else. My main goal being Mulberry’s resident ambassador is ensuring I visit all of my fellow residents especially those who have no visitors or family. I love to help our activities co-ordinators deliver activities and am always thinking of new things we could do, I have regular meetings with our general manager Rachael to catch up with what is going on in the home and in the local community.

Hi, my name is Roy, I’ve been living at Mulberry Court since 2023.

I love living at Mulberry and I enjoy being the Resident Ambassador.

Residents have said that I’m a very heart warming, soft and patient gentleman who gives comfort to all. I’m a true gentleman and as I say “what you see, is what you get.”

I enjoy going for walks around the local area with other residents for Roy’s Magical Mystery Tour.

I’ve got attention to detail and it’s my mission that I can make every resident feel at home.
