Hardworking Liz Thomson is Scotland's oldest care home professional who is still grafting at the age of 81. She was just four-years-old when World War Two ended and, despite having two hip replacements, the sprightly pensioner still works 30 hours a week.
Mrs Thomson is now believed to be Scotland’s oldest care home worker after a change of career at 60 - the retirement age for women at the time. And despite her 82nd birthday fast approaching, she says she has no intention of putting her feet up any time soon.
“I just love it,” she said. “I get up in the morning and look forward to seeing them all [the residents]. “I’m older than quite a few of the residents. Some of them are only in their 70s. But they never mention my age. We have a lot in common and sit and speak about everything under the sun.”
