About Gill

I have worked in social care for over 30 years, primarily with adults who have a learning disability. My passion was ignited by my close relationship with a cousin who is learning disabled and spurred me to want to help people to achieve their aspirations.

I initially commenced working in local government as a support worker and steadily progressed to the role of manager which has brought me to work with Voyage Care where I have been for over 7 years.
