He provides person-centred support – helping residents with learning difficulties, mental health issues, addictions and more, to tackle things they need a helping hand to resolve.
A mental health support worker for 12 years before joining Muir, Leigh makes sure support you receive is tailored exactly for you.
"I promote independence, but I show people how they can do things and take the first steps together to make them less overwhelming," Leigh said.
