Special Needs Care is owned and managed by Barnabas Borbely LL.M (LSE)-Solicitor/Director, who is a qualified lawyer and member of the Law Society with a lifelong commitment to social care. Barnabas graduated with a Master of Laws from the London School of Economics & Political Science and is fluent in three languages. For more than ten years, he has worked in the care sector, to include the UK special needs environments; he is also a trustee for those with special needs and has a family member who has disability – so he has close personal and practical knowledge of special needs people’s requirements.
Barnabas is supported by Jan Wilson, our Registered Manager. Jan is highly qualified and has over 25 years of experience in managing social care at Local Authority establishments. Registered with the General Social Care Council, she is a qualified Social Worker, holds Registered Manager status and holds management qualifications from the Chartered Management Institute. Jan is experienced in working alongside people who have learning disabilities and complex support needs in variety of settings and indeed in working with the Commission for Social Care Inspection to achieve excellent ratings.
Combining their enormous skills, knowledge and experience, Barnabas and Jan work closely and comfortably with local authorities and partnership organisations, staff and suppliers ensuring effective management of Special Needs Care households.
Barnabas’s hands-on business and legal approach and Jan’s practical knowledge and years of experience in senior management ensure that Special Needs Care homes occupy and fulfil a unique niche in the special needs sector, providing exceptionally high standards of living environment and care that we believe cannot be found elsewhere.
"Giving disabled people greater choice and control over the support they need and the resources available to them is important, not just in social care, but across mainstream services as well and across all age groups, including young disabled people in transition to adulthood and older disabled people."
