Meet the Team

These are the fab people who make things happen at Open Arms.  We’re a crazy bunch who are absolutely dedicated to our jobs (it’s not really a job being here as we have far too much fun)!!  We refer to ourselves as a “nutty work family” and together rise to any challenge.

A completely useless piece of information: between us we have a HUGE 200 years plus of experience in the care sector! Makes us sound far too old…
