Emer.gutmann@wavrleycare.orgWhy did you choose to work for Waverley Care?
I had worked previously for other charities in Edinburgh but was intrigued when I found the job advertised for Waverley Care. As this was an area all new to me, I had to get the foundation training in blood borne viruses. I think my skills from working in mental health and homelessness helped me transition into Waverley Care relatively smoothly.
Tell us about life before Waverley Care.
Worked in both mental health and homelessness before joining Waverley Care.
What do you most enjoy about working with Waverley Care?
I enjoy meeting new people accessing the service, helping newly diagnosed patients come to grips with their new diagnosis. I enjoy getting the peer group together as friendships have been built from it.
What do you do in your spare time?
I enjoy spending time with my wee family; my daughter gives my husband and I so much joy.
Who inspires you?
My mum, she has been through a lot personally and has suffered had times but she keeps going and never gives up.
