Prestige Nursing & Care (Angus)

I started my career in the healthcare sector over 20 years ago when I had a young family as it offered me the flexibility I needed whilst raising my daughter.

My experience includes working in secure units with adults who have learning difficulties and challenging behaviour before I moved into crisis care, palliative care and then finally home care.

Crisis care was emergency, last minute services to prevent a hospital/respite admission due to a sudden decline in ill health, change in family situations or in response to adult support and protection. I often covered clients on their return from long-term hospital stays, so that someone was with them for the first 48 hours to prevent failed discharges.

I also worked for palliative care services and trained with Macmillan Cancer Support for a short time. I often met with clients when they had just had the devastating prognosis and stayed as part of their package of care through their journey.

I have been with Prestige Nursing & Care since January 2017 where I started in a different branch in Scotland before moving to the Angus branch. My qualifications include SVQ Level 3 in Care and D31/32 level 3 SVQ accessor. As a Registered Manager I will soon be starting my Managers Award qualification. I am passionate about social care and making a positive impact on peoples’ lives and whilst ensuring their families are supported. I am supported by a fantastic team in Angus and we are all dedicated and committed to making sure our clients receive the highest standards of care whilst being able to stay in their own homes with the care they need.
