Chief Executive of Brunelcare
Salary: Competitive
Closing date: Sunday 29th November
About the Role
As Chief Executive, you will lead Brunelcare across its care, housing and support services, building on an organisation with a strong sense of purpose and commitment to the people and communities it serves. The breadth of Brunelcare brings together different operating and regulatory environments, and a central part of the role will be ensuring these work effectively as part of one organisation while recognising their distinct needs.
Working closely with the Board, you will shape a clear and sustainable long-term strategy for Brunelcare, considering its future direction, opportunities for growth and partnership, and how ambition is balanced with financial and operational resilience. You will translate that direction into clear priorities and outcomes, maintaining strong oversight of performance, risk, governance and regulatory assurance.
The role requires a strong balance of internal and external leadership. You will work closely with the Executive team and Board, while maintaining a visible connection with colleagues and services across Brunelcare. Externally, you will be an influential advocate for the organisation, developing relationships across housing, care, commissioners, regulators and strategic partners.
Ultimately, this is an opportunity to lead Brunelcare into its next chapter, building on what is already strong while creating new opportunities for the organisation, its residents and the communities it serves.
