Tracy Essessien works at the Aylesbury home and celebrated her 10-year work anniversary.
Tracy had worked in various nursing homes prior to joining MHA Hillside in 2014 but this is her first permanent role.
To mark the occasion, administration manager Leanne Sherwin presented Tracy with a certificate.
MHA Hillside provides nursing care with places for 68 older people, those with a physical disability and younger people with a long-term medical condition.
Speaking after receiving the award Tracy said: “ I have learnt a lot in the last 10 years and really enjoy working at MHA Hillside.
“I live in London, but my partner lives five minutes away from the home so it's very convenient.
“Naturally there have been a lot of changes but the staff and residents are lovely and the flexibility this job gives me counts for a lot.
“The residents are demanding but also very kind and loving and always put a smile on my face.
“I feel like dedication to the job is key and it's a role that is very humbling and rewarding
“The manager is amazing, she really takes our feedback on board and supports us immensely.
“This is my first permanent job in the social care industry, and I am so happy that I work at MHA Hillside and look forward to reaching the next big landmark.”
