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.
I am 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 spend in this role will vary from week to week but will be approximately 15-20 hours. I plan to donate my Councillor salary to charity, after tax.
