All of our staff complete a thorough induction programme, often led by me personally, which allows me to instill our values from the outset and ensure every person we support is truly at the centre of our care."

Gary joined Professional Carers in 2016 following a distinguished career in law enforcement leadership and public services.

His contribution to organisational growth, business diversification, and the development of partnerships led to his appointment as Operations Director in 2018. 

In this role, he now provides strategic leadership and operational oversight across multiple business portfolios, including contracts and performance, commissioning, operations management, finance, HR, marketing, and communications.

Gary has been instrumental in scaling operations, improving performance outcomes, and positioning Professional Carers as a trusted provider of high-quality domiciliary and complex care services across the North West of England and Scotland.

He is the holder of a postgraduate degree in Management and Leadership, and  Chartered Management Institute (CMI) membership. Gary is able to combine strong academic grounding coupled with hands-on leadership experience. 

Acting as a previous Provider Representative on the Cheshire and Merseyside Provider Engagement Forum (PEF), Gary also plays an active role in shaping regional health and social care policy, championing provider voices, and promoting collaboration between commissioners and care organisations.

Our Care Workers always ensure quality of care is at the heart of everything we do. 

 We recognise that individuals will want to trust and reply upon their care staff and for this reason we take great care in selecting staff members with whom you feel completely comfortable with. 

 All new carers are interviewed thoroughly and only employed after a minimum of two written references have been sought and a formal police check via the Disclosure and Barring System has been carried out. Each member of staff then undergoes continuous training and supervision which ensures the highest quality of service is delivered to you or a family member. 

Staff are also given the opportunity to complete the Care Certificate and will embark on their level 2 and 3 QCF / SQCF in Health and Social Care.  

Showing value and respect for everyone and treating others as they would wish to be treated is our passion. We believe in taking responsibility for providing the best services and experience. 

 We usually allocate 2 or 3 care staff to your team, although this will also depend on the size of the individual care package. This in turn helps to maintain continuity of care when care staff are on holiday, away on training courses or are absent. 

We always look for ways to improve what we do. We encourage involvement, value contributions and listen to and positively act on feedback. 

 Training completed by our carers takes place at our training suites located in each of our offices. 

Training is run by our dedicated trainers, management team and senior carers / field supervisors who hold relevant qualifications and skills enabling them to do this. We also regularly invite external training providers into our offices and staff have access to our dedicated e-learning suite. 

We are focused on providing carers who are knowledgable and skilled.
