Belong is a pioneering and innovative provider of high quality support, care and accommodation for older people in the North West of England. We are internationally acclaimed for our leading model for dementia care and older people’s services as well as our focus on achieving outstanding outcomes. Our values are at the heart of our work and as a not for profit provider, we reinvest any surpluses to continuously improve our provision. We are always exploring new opportunities, technologies and ideas that could make life better for those living with us.
THE ROLE
As a Board, we are continually evolving and reviewing the skills and expertise of our NEDs to ensure that we have strong and effective governance in place. Given the importance of regulatory compliance and our drive for continued excellence, we are keen that our new NED brings a professional background in social care with a deep appreciation of CQC compliance. As well as our main Board, we have a Quality & Safety Committee, and the successful candidate would be expected to sit on this Committee.
Of course, a commitment to our values should be seen as fundamental, as is the ability to make a strategic contribution to our vision of enabling older people to live the lives they choose, ensuring the highest quality experience for our colleagues and customers. We are particularly keen to find people who have led either as a provider or commissioner and who can demonstrate their role in achieving outstanding outcomes. Your insight into the future of social care will be integral to how we develop our future strategy and continue our work as a frontrunner in the sector. Previous non-executive experience is less important than your professional experience within adult social care and of leading teams to achieve success. Your values and experience around designing truly personal services and engaging and involving customers and staff is key.
We are committed to promoting a diverse and inclusive community – a place where we can all ‘Belong’ and because we believe our Board should reflect this commitment, we particularly welcome interest from people from different backgrounds who can help us to broaden our ethnic and cultural mix and cognitive diversity.
This is an important role within an innovative and forward-looking organisation focused on building positive outcomes. You will find us a rewarding, inclusive and stimulating Board to join and one where your insight, experience and influence will be truly valued. If this sounds like the Board for you, we’d love to hear from you.
