Cath McDermid

Cath joined Involve Care Solutions in August 2026 and brings with her 20 years of experience across health and social care. She began her career as a support worker before progressing to team leader and then into management, giving her a grounded understanding of practice at every level of a service, from direct day to day support through to operational leadership.

Throughout her career Cath has worked with both adults and children with a wide range of needs, including learning disabilities, physical disabilities, mental health conditions and autism. This breadth of experience means she is confident supporting people with complex and varied presentations, and skilled at helping teams adapt their approach to the individual rather than the diagnosis.

Cath holds a Level 5 Diploma in Leadership and Management for Residential Childcare, and her practice is underpinned by a firm commitment to person centred care. She is known for being caring, compassionate and approachable, qualities that shape both the way she supports children and young people and the way she leads and develops her team. Outside of work, Cath is mum to her young son.
