Shield Health and Social Care
Shield Health & Social Care provides the highest level of community -based services for vulnerable adults living in our local community. We provide both a CQC Registered Domiciliary Care Service and also a Recruitment service for adult care services across Leeds and within a 15 mile radius of Leeds. Over the years we have provided care support workers for residential homes, supported living services, mental health services, private services and direct to the service user.
The service/s have been established over ten years ago, by the Director Mrs Shelley Marie Gunn, with the sole purpose of providing local businesses and organisations with reliable, qualified workers that were competent and skilled within the specific sectors that they were specialised in.
Mrs Shelley Marie Gunn, Director of Shield Health and Social Care, has a continued passion for contributing to the community of Health and Social Care as she, herself has a background from the healthcare sector as she trained, qualified and worked within the MH, LD and Nursing sector for many years. With over twenty years of hands-on experience in various care settings, her immense knowledge and extensive work experience has contributed to the decision of developing the well-established Shield Health & Social Care.
The decision for the company development for Shield Health and Social Care, took the very best of four years in making. On the 20th of March 2019, Shield Health and Social Care was registered as a limited company. On the February 2025 both services merged to one company.
