The Staff at Horizons

Audrey Lee Hi, my name is Audrey,I am the Co-ordinator here at Horizons. I began working at Horizons in 2005 as a Support Worker and after a lot of hardwork I became Co-ordinator in December 2007. I really love working at Horizon's, everyday can bring a new challenge, but the rewards make it all worthwhile.
I live at home in Lossiemouth with my husband Mark, and my middle son Stuart, my youngest son Alex…and my cat, Meggan. My eldest son Lewis has now flown the nest and has his own house.

Horizons is a happy friendly place to be, so pop in for a coffee and chat..a warm welcome awaits you.

Ian Noble

Hello, I am Ian Noble. I am a Relief Support Worker here at Horizons, having taken up the post in January 2005.

Before coming to Horizons, I worked for over 20yrs working with adults with learning difficulties I live in Elgin with my wife Muriel and cairn terrier, Rocky, and enjoy "entertaining" my grandchildren, playing golf and sailing.

Horizons is a great place to work with very friendly members (and the staff are not too bad either!)

Alice

Hi my name is Alice, I’ve lived in Elgin since 1974. I did my Social Care course in 2001-2003 at Moray College where I gained an SVQ2 & HNC in Social Care. I started at Horizons as a relief worker whilst still at College and when I was qualified I was offered the position as Support Worker and of course I jumped at it as Horizons is a really nice place to work.

The clients are all friendly, welcoming and enjoy a good chat..and sometimes debate whilst enjoying our coffee. Our staff here at Horizons is a small but friendly team, we all get on really well and enjoy working together.

I also work with children with special needs and do both jobs part-time.

Claire Hi my name is Claire. I have lived in Forres for the past five years with my 2 children. I am originally from Lossiemouth.

I started working as a relief worker at Horizons in October 2006, I was previously a student at Horizons while I was doing the HNC in social care and I have now been taken on part-time.

I was very pleased to start work at Horizons after being here as a student as Horizon's is a happy and friendly place for both members and staff.

Johnny Hi my name is Johnny, I've worked in mental health for 15 years after I started as a volunteer at the REACH Project, then went on to work as an outreach worker for MAMH.

My interests are: playing and teaching traditional Irish music and I play a variety of musical instruments; String, woodwind and percussion.

I enjoy fishing and gardening, I play an active part in the local folk club in Lossiemouth and lead the session in the festival.

I have little time for hobbies being a single mum, but when I do get time off, then I enjoy writing, playing my keyboard and having a good laugh with my mates and the clients and staff at Horizons
