    William NicolDeputy Manager

    My name is Will, and I have been working in care homes for 20 years. I began my career as a domestic and kitchen assistant before progressing to the role of care assistant and steadily working my way up through the ranks. In 2018, I qualified as a Registered Mental Health Nurse and have continued to work in care, as I am deeply passionate about elderly care, dementia, and palliative care. Alongside my nursing career, I have completed a Master’s Degree in Health Professionals Education, as I greatly enjoy supporting others to succeed and achieve in their own careers. Outside of work, I am happily married, enjoy cooking, and love taking my wee dog, Gabbie, for long walks and on holidays.
