Barchester Mallard Court Care Home

Hi, my name is Helen Nutton, and I commenced my employment with Barchester in December 2025, as an Operational Manager in Scotland & North East Division. I am a Registered Mental Health Nurse with over 20 years’ experience in a variety of fields in nursing.

I bring a wealth of knowledge and experience from previous roles - Registered Home Manager, Regional Clinical Manager and Turnaround Manager within social care. My ethos is to always have the residents' best interests at the heart of everything I do, providing high standards of care, practices supported by evidence-based research.

I am delighted to be part of such a warm, friendly and passionate team, who want to give their residents the best care they possibly can. I look forward to meeting everyone and being part of such a special team!

Any problems or queries, please advise and feel free to link directly to the home if an alternative image is required.

Hi, my name is Rosie, and I am the Administrator here at Mallard Court. I achieved my level 3 in Health and Social Care and have worked in the care sector for over 23 years.

I initially joined as a Carer and was promoted to Senior Carer, and progressed to the position of Deputy Manager in a care home. I have also trained in the position of Care Coordinator in home care. I have a very caring nature and have really enjoyed my career in the care sector, helping others. I'd look after everyone if I could; family life is my rock, and I would do anything for them if I could.

My husband and I of 16 years, decided to change our lives last year, and moved from Leeds to Bridlington in 2023. I am now employed by Barchester Healthcare here at Mallard Court and hold the position of Administrator, and actually found the perfect role for me. I am really happy having the opportunity to be involved in talking and being involved in our lovely residents lives.
