Glasgow-based Karen, formerly of Ayrshire and Arran Primary Care Trust said:
"Quarriers, as an organisation, is clearly growing and developing rapidly and is working hard to become the key service provider for care services in Scotland. Human Resources is key to supporting the organisations growth and people development thus maintaining the high level of service that is being provided across the country. I hope to contribute some valuable resources to this wonderfully diverse organisation."
Quarriers provides support and care for adults and children with a physical or learning disability, for children and families facing poverty, family breakdown, exclusion and disadvantage and for young people with social, emotional or behavioural difficulties, or who are homeless. Quarriers also offers support to carers of all ages who need respite, advice or just a friend to listen, it also has the only residential epilepsy assessment centre in Scotland.
Quarriers has grown considerably since it was founded William Quarrier during the 1870s, expanding to meet the needs of children, adults and families all over Scotland - and beyond. Staff numbers are now in excess of 1500 and the charity has an expected turnover of £35 million for 2005.
