Thea Samuel
Vision Rehabilitation Specialist

I’m loving my role as a Vision Rehabilitation Specialist, I qualified in 2024 following Training at Glasgow Caledonian University. My goal is to empower those with visual impairments to maintain their independence-because everyone deserves to live life on their own terms.

Leanne scobie

I am the Operations Support Manager at VisionPK. In my spare time I enjoy being outdoors. I enjoy running a few times a week and do Parkrun every Saturday morning. I also enjoy walking and cycling.
I enjoy socialising with friends and family. I like reading and can often be found with a book in my hand when I am not outdoors.

Debi wallace
Vision Rehabilitation Specialist

I have a varied history of employment but mainly within the Health and Social Care Environment, from being a carer, SVQ Assessor, Hearing Loss Support Worker to my current role as a Vision Rehabilitation Specialist.
I’m currently trying to learn how to play the Ukelele. It’s been a slow process but getting there. I love spending time in my motorhome with my ukelele, travelling to new places and meeting new people.

I coordinate services, provide direct support, and advocate for the needs of those who are experiencing hearing loss or sight loss.
