Meet our Team

The LifeCare Staff Team

We are made up of approximately 80+ staff members, most of whom work part-time, and around 30 dedicated regular volunteers.  Everyone brings their own unique experiences, skills and compassion to their role, aiming to provide the highest standards of care and support .

People are at heart of everything we do. We pride ourselves on making a difference, not just for those that we support, but also by being a great place to work and to volunteer.
