Remuneration and related undertaking
Until 4 June 2021 I was a support worker with Key Community Supports, an organisation concerned with delivering personalised support to people in their own homes and communities, (of The Square, 70 Renton St, Glasgow G4 0HT). I received between £10,001 and £15,000 per annum and spent 16 hours per week in the role.
Until 5 May 2022 I was a Councillor with West Dunbartonshire Council (of 49 Dumbarton Road, Clydebank G81 1UA). I received between £20,001 and £25,000 per annum, which decreased, from 1 June 2021, to between £15,001 and £20,000 per annum. The hours I spent in this role varied from week to week but was approximately 15-20 hours. I donated my Councillor salary to charity, after tax. [Amended interest 30 May 2023]
