I began my journey with Swanton Care and Support in September 2025, bringing over 20 years of experience in the care and support sector.
When I first started working in care, my goal was to support older people to live independently at home and enjoy meaningful companionship. Over the years, I’ve also worked as a Support Worker in a day care centre, helping to ensure that everyone who attended had a fulfilling day filled with purposeful and enjoyable activities. I’ve always loved spending time with people, getting to know what makes them happy, and finding out what truly matters to them. That’s what makes working in care so rewarding for me.
Before stepping into the Registered Manager role, I worked as both a Team Leader and Deputy Manager, where I discovered my passion for supporting staff to reach their full potential. I believe that when teams feel valued and empowered, they naturally deliver the best outcomes for the people we support.
I’m especially passionate about Caidreach House, as it offers young people the opportunity to live as independently as possible, develop new skills, and achieve their goals. It’s also a wonderful chance for our support team to be part of the beginning of each young person’s journey in their new home — helping them to grow, learn, and thrive.
I joined Swanton Care and Community in July 2019 as Interim Regional Director and became Registered Manager of Southfields a short time later. During early 2024 I was then promoted to Divisional Director of Scotland. I have over 18 years operational management experience across all sectors of health and social care in Scotland. Professionally, I remain a Registered Mental Health nurse and as such I also lead and coordinate our Mental Health First Aiders across all of our services nationally.
My drive is to lead and support my team to provide person led care through empowering the people we support to achieve their potential and aspirations in life. We work in collaboration with all our partners in order to provide the very best service we can. As a former Scots Guardsman, I feel it is important to make a difference in young people’s lives and have been an Adult Volunteer with the Army Cadet Force for several years.
