Meet the Ochil Care Home Team

Hi. I am Leeann Thomson. I took up post as Deputy General Manager in June 2023. I have been a registered nurse for 19 years, prior to this I was a care assistant for 2 years.

I have spent most of my career in the NHS as a theatre nurse and have worked in care homes as a Deputy Manager for the last 3 years. I look forward to supporting Liz and working with all of the team to ensure our residents are well cared for.

Although I haven’t quite travelled the world yet (!) I have enjoyed my 31 years as a Registered Nurse in London, Dundee, Brighton, Isle of Guernsey and Perth. I joined the team at Ochil in 2003, not intending to stay that long but I’m still here!!

I was promoted to Senior Nurse in August 2017 and look forward with optimism to leading a great team with new energy. A new chapter in promoting great care infused with lots of laughter!

I have been a Registered Nurse since 2007 and joined the team at Ochil in 2015. I was promoted to the role of Senior Nurse in August 2017.

I am the Charge Nurse of the Memory Lane Community here at Ochil. I have been a Registered General Nurse for 30 years, with 15 years of experience caring for people with Dementia. I gained a Level 1 Dementia Care qualification several years ago. I have been in post at Ochil since 2014.

I have been a Registered Nurse for over 35 years. I was a Pediatric Nurse for 27 years in my home country of Romania and I moved to the UK and took up post as a Registered Nurse at Ochil in 2011, and was promoted to Charge Nurse in August 2018. I love my job and look forward to coming to work every day.

Hello, my name is Anne and I’m the Head Chef here at Ochil. I have worked in the catering industry for over 30 years. I started in schools – mostly primary schools – in Scotland and England.

I returned to Perth in 2008, which is when I got my first job role in the care sector – a huge change for me! It was very challenging, but also very rewarding .

I took up my post at Ochil in November 2017 and aim to provide the highest standard of food for those we support.

Hi, I am Linda, Head of Housekeeping at Ochil. I had worked in the hospitality sector for 25 years in a Perth leisure facility until being made redundant due to the pandemic in November 202. At the same time there was a vacancy for a Housekeeper at Ochil which I thought I would try. It has worked out very well for me and in October 2021 I was promoted to Head of Housekeeping . It is a challenging but very rewarding job
