The Orders of St John Care Trust Group (OSJCT) is a leading not-for-profit charitable Trust dedicated to delivering care to the highest standards. With a rich heritage rooted in the traditions of two of the Orders of St John, OSJCT operates more than 70 care homes, extra care and supported living housing schemes across Gloucestershire, Lincolnshire, Oxfordshire, Aylesbury, Wiltshire, Suffolk, and West Sussex; providing residential, nursing, dementia, and respite care services.
It is committed to person-centred care, learning as much as possible about each individual to deliver tailored care and support to meet particular needs and preferences. OSJCT works to foster a warm, inclusive environment where residents enjoy fulfilling lives, supported by dedicated employees who are passionate about making a positive difference every day.
As our Group Care & Quality Director, we will be looking to you to lead the design of specific, specialist services in dementia, nursing, and a combination of the two. You will be central in ensuring we get the best from our transformation in care provision through the use of digital technology, increasing standards of compliance and delivering enhanced impact across the Group, and you will have substantial resources to hand to support an ever-improving service for our residents.
You will be an experienced executive level leader within social care (or a closely related sector) having led a substantial Care Quality or Operations function. Your experience in leading the strategic development of care quality delivery, ensuring services are future focused and flexible to the ever-changing demands of the sector will be critical. Your leadership will flourish through the clear insight developed through your strong networks and appreciation of the sector and political environment in which we operate.
You will also be a supportive and empowering leader who enjoys building and developing a high performing team and enabling people to thrive. Ours is a highly collaborative environment where we learn from and grow together, and you will enjoy aligning your team behind our vision and ensuring that together we are fully equipped to achieve our ambitious targets.
