From serving with the Royal Navy during the Iraq War to caring for patients in their homes, Simon McMahon’s journey is remarkable. As founder and Director of Pioneer Nursing Service, Simon combines grit, compassion, and a sense of purpose to reimagine community care.

The idea came during his time as a Nurse Unit Manager during the height of COVID. “I saw how many patients were unable to go home because community services couldn’t provide the staff needed to support them.” Simon recalls.

“We’re all about experience with heart — our team of support workers, nurses, and coordinators know their stuff and genuinely care. That mix of skill and compassion helps people live better, brighter lives.”

Determined to change things, Simon launched Pioneer Nursing Service to help people remain at home, safe, supported, and surrounded by family. Whether it’s hospital discharges, end-of-life care, or daily support, his team offers families peace of mind.

Outside of work, Simon enjoys sailing, kayaking, and beach walks with his two quirky rescue dogs. A proud member of the Walkerston-Pleystowe RSL, he also values time with family and friends.
