Meet The Manager
Courtney Bennett is Managing Director at Visiting Angels Edinburgh East.
My work within Health and Social Care began as a student nurse in 2014. My joy of working with the elderly and desire to create lasting relationships with those I cared for, led me down the unusual path for a young nurse, of choosing to work within residential nursing homes. My personal goal was to have a positive impact on the quality of care within what is inevitably an unfamiliar setting. It is evident that staying in the comfort of their own home has far superior outcomes for those requiring care.
With the uglier side of social care regularly smeared in the media, I recognised the hard work, kindness and resilience of my colleagues going unrecognised and under-valued, and realised there must be a better way. It is my belief that by improving the treatment of care staff within the sector, we can ultimately improve the quality of care they deliver, and change the wider public opinion of the Social Care sector.
