South Aberdeen and Shire

Our South Aberdeen and Shire branch supports 492 adults in a range of settings from sheltered housing, housing support, care at home (outreach) and care homes and operates in the area south of the River Don in Aberdeen city to Inverbervie in Aberdeenshire. We have a hub office in Stonehaven where our community support team is based, as well as The Trading Corner gift shop which also offers day activities such as crafting and music.

Jubilee House in Stonehaven is a holiday cottage specially adapted for people with disabilities and for whom we can provide additional support if required. We have 247 full-time, part-time and relief staff who we value highly and whose dedication and professionalism is evident every day.

We are proud of the way we have performed as a branch throughout the Coronavirus pandemic and are especially proud of the people we support, who have proved to be resilient and adaptable. We will never underestimate their capabilities.

Our South Aberdeen & Shire branch is led by Aidan Severino.
