Meet The Renfrewshire and East Renfrewshire Team

John Thomson

Managing Director

Having joined the NHS shortly after leaving school in 1985, most of my career has continued in health and social care, eventually progressing to senior management level. My 40-year experience has been gained across a range of sectors including the NHS, the private and voluntary sectors, as well as working in the military as a Nursing Officer.

What has brough me to Caremark, well having recently struggled to find suitable quality domiciliary care for family members, my late partner agreed with me that a simple solution would be to start our own care at home company, where quality and a person-centred approach would be our only standards. Our aim is to be able to provide this quality care no matter whether it is a private paying or a local authority client, as everyone should be eligible to receive the highest standards of care. I want Caremark to be the go-to place that people want to be part of, whether that be staff of clients.

Away from work, I also run a Scotland wide resilience charity, love boating and I also play golf, albeit badly. However, my cat and dog are the ones that really control my life, routinely waking me up each morning demanding to be pampered long before my alarm goes off.

Sarah Hutchison

Field Care Supervisor

First starting in care 13 years ago, I am excited to get started in my role as Field Care Supervisor within Caremark Renfrewshire and East Renfrewshire. Taking on this role is an exciting opportunity to build on my passion for care, supporting others and making a positive difference in people’s lives.

Being Field Care Supervisor is much more than overseeing care visits. It is about ensuring that people receive safe, compassionate, dignified, and person-centred care in the comfort of their own homes. It also means supporting care staff, encouraging good practice, and helping create an environment where both clients and colleagues feel valued and respected.

My background in care, paramedics, and managerial roles will be very helpful in this new role. I’m a happy dedicated individual who strives on challenges and diversity. Family is also a big part of my daily living and as a mother of two children, being busy is the norm. I play a big part in their schooling as well, by being the chair of the parent council of the local school. On our downtime, we love travelling and frequently visit family in Dublin.
