A carer has been banned from working in the profession for sneakily taking money from the people he was paid to look after.
Thomas Boyle was employed as a home support worker for Inverclyde Council in Greenock when he was found to have breached professional boundaries and used vulnerable's people lack of awareness for his own gain.
In a report by the Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC) it has been detailed that Boyle bought several items from Amazon for a vulnerable man but charged him above market value in order to make an extra profit for himself.
