Page. 4 | Review of the Year


Mairi Skilling has worked with Carr Gomm in Campbeltown and Lochgilphead as a relief worker then as a permanent worker in the Overnight Response Service on Islay for the last year. The induction training gave her a real sense of what the organisation does and the role of Support Worker.


She explained that coming to work with us was “a breath of fresh air, everyone working like a team with real commitment to the people we support; it was very obvious that they all loved their job.”


She enjoys supporting people in their own home and ensuring they are still living their own life even when they have reached a time when they need support. She is able to do this with confidence because we have clear policies and procedures, good training and support and encouragement from managers.


“You can have every confidence that Carr Gomm staff will support you in the way you want to be supported; they won’t rush you to quickly get on to the next visit.”


The team covers the whole of Islay and workers are on shift in pairs which has proved to be especially useful when looking for a new address as some of the people we support live in remote areas.


“Everyone you work with will make you feel right at home and help you to learn all you need to know about Carr Gomm and the people we support.”


Emma who has worked in our Gorbals service for four months “I was quickly applying the Values I learned about in induction. For example, people supported have a choice with how they want to live. It is very important to apply this to each person that is being supported.”
