New Manager at Resthaven Mitcham
A new Manager, Hannah Coelho, has been welcomed at Resthaven Mitcham. It follows the transfer of previous Manager, Mandy Micallef, to Resthaven Bellevue Heights, to oversee a major site redevelopment at the home.
Hannah, who commenced at Resthaven Mitcham in June, may be a Manager now, but she understands the nuances of the aged care environment at every level.
‘I started out in aged care as a kitchen hand,’ she explains. ‘Through study and full-time work, I progressed through the ranks from Personal Care Assistant, to Enrolled Nurse, then Registered Nurse.’
She says that she was ‘drawn towards a career with Resthaven because it is known as a leading aged care provider, who holds a significant footprint within South Australia.’
‘Resthaven is known for care initiatives to support residents, in addition to a heavy focus on staff development to empower team members to achieve great care outcomes.’
‘Resthaven truly believes in making each resident’s day the best day possible.’
‘For me, this is why I work in aged care; being able to do this with Resthaven gives me immense satisfaction.’
‘Resthaven has a clear focus on improving resident outcomes and has numerous support services available to residents and staff to facilitate this.’
‘Along with this, Resthaven has supported me to settle in with a great on-boarding and orientation support program, with support from key leaders within the organisation.’
‘I am a big believer in living by example, and commit to demonstrating Resthaven’s values of trust, dignity, and choice, each and every day, through everything I do.’
‘These values encompass who I am as a person and what I stand for.’
‘My goal as an emerging leader within the aged care sector is to be in a role that can influence and lead positive change to shape the industry for our future generations.’
‘Through hard work and innovation, I aim to grow upon the amazing work that we already do each day.’
