South Lanarkshire University Health and Social Care Partnership is recruiting permanent full-time and part-time Home Carers across South Lanarkshire.

You could be like Lynn McGeachie, a care and support worker in Hamilton and Blantyre, who draws on her own personal experiences to deliver truly person-centred care. After caring for her mum through illness and recovery, Lynn now supports five individuals with learning disabilities and complex needs, helping them live as independently as possible.

Lynn said: “Every person we support is different, so we really take time to understand what matters to them.

“You build such strong relationships with the people you support – they become like family. You’re part of someone’s life and that’s a real privilege.”

Lynn’s contribution reflects the commitment and quality that underpin South Lanarkshire’s wider social care services – recognised in several glowing reports from the Care Inspectorate.

Professor Soumen Sengupta, Chief Officer for South Lanarkshire University Health and Social Care Partnership, said: “Whenever I listen to and speak with staff across our services I am always struck by their dedication, professionalism and genuine compassion.

“My thanks to our all of our staff for their unwavering commitment – they are the beating heart of our services – and our local communities for recognising the vital contribution that those staff make to improving the lives of thousands of people each and every day.”
