John S
I’ve been working in the care sector for around 15years, supporting both adults and young people with a wide range of needs. My experience includes care at home, residential children’s services, respite care, and supporting individuals with complex disabilities in their own homes. I hold a BA (Hons) in Social Work and an HNC in Counselling, and I’m fully PVG-checked and registered with the SSSC. Over the years I’ve supported people with cerebral palsy, learning disabilities, autism, physical disabilities, behaviours that challenge and individuals needing emotional, social, or practical support. I provide personal care, companionship, community support, medication assistance, and day-to-day living support with dignity, patience, and a calm, steady approach. Care is something I genuinely enjoy. I like getting to know the people I support, building trust, and helping them stay comfortable and independent in their own homes. I believe great care is built on communication, consistency and respect, and I always aim to bring a positive, professional energy into every visit. My background gives me strong skills in safeguarding, de-escalation, TCI/POB, record-keeping, and person-centred planning. Whether I’m supporting someone with daily routines or providing social companionship, my focus is always on creating a safe, supportive environment where the person feels valued and understood. Outside of work, I enjoy cooking, spending time with my family, and keeping active. I’m down-to-earth, reliable, and easy to talk to, and I take pride in delivering high-quality care that suits each individual’s needs and preferences.

Morag M.
Hello. I am a friendly mature, positive hardworking individual, who always strives to achieve the highest standard possible at any given task. I possess excellent communication skills, and I have the ability and experience to relate to a wide range of people. I can work under pressure and I have the experience to remain good-humoured and calm. At the end of 2016, I made the decision to move away from managing and recruiting carers and returned to practical care. I have worked as a live-in care since then. I have some experience working with people with disabilities but primarily I have worked with elderly care and all that can come with it. I have experience in all aspects of personal care including continence care, suprapubic and indwelling catheters. I am experienced in the use of a variety of equipment that aids in making life easier for the client and carer. It has been my experience that a live-in carer brings so much more than just meeting someone's physical needs. Listening, supporting and encouraging them where possible to maintain their independence is also important. Asking a client what they want to eat, wear or do is vital, often carers make these decisions. I believe with the right carer a person can thrive. In the summer months, I enjoy travelling in my camper van. For now, it’s only been Scotland. I do some photography and enjoy listening to audiobooks either true crime or biographies. If the weather keeps me indoors I up-cycle furniture for family and friends.
