Contact Kary >Allan Watson
Care ManagerI regard myself as a team player and wouldn’t expect any of our team members to do a task that I wasn’t prepared to do.
I have worked in various roles throughout my career in the care sector. I originally worked as a healthcare assistant in a domiciliary care service in York, then I progressed to Senior healthcare assistant and supported nursing and dementia sufferers in a residential care home. After this, I took on a new role in Knaresborough as Team Leader in a nursing home for dementia sufferers.
Over the years I have supported individuals with complex and specialist care needs, providing me the opportunity to train in many clinical skills including tracheostomy care and peg feeding.
I strive to create a positive culture and uphold the overall governance of the service by guiding and supporting the team. I look upon myself as a good leader and I am approachable by all.
