I joined Swanton Care and Community in 2025, bringing over 20 years of experience in the care and support sector.
My career began in home care, supporting older people to live independently and enjoy meaningful companionship. I later worked as a Support Worker in a day service, ensuring each person had a purposeful and enjoyable day. I’ve always valued building relationships, understanding what matters to people, and helping them achieve moments of genuine happiness — it’s what makes working in care so rewarding.
Before becoming a Registered Manager, I progressed through roles as a Team Leader and Deputy Manager, where I discovered a real passion for developing and empowering staff. I firmly believe that when teams feel supported and valued, they naturally deliver the best outcomes for the people we support.
I’m especially passionate about Caidreach House. It offers young people the chance to grow their independence, develop new skills and work toward their goals. It’s also a meaningful opportunity for our support team to be part of the beginning of each person’s journey in their new home — helping them learn, thrive and achieve their potential.
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.
