Martin works Mondays and Wednesdays at the Club during term-time. Martin joined the team at the beginning of 2016. He has completed his SVQ III in Social Care (Children and Young People). Martin has been working with children in both educational and out-of-school care and so brings valuable experience and knowledge to the Club ( Currently he also works at Dornoch 3-18 campus).
