Director of Care Services and Director of Community Services – 2 appointments

Location: London

Jewish Care is the largest health and social care charity for the Jewish community in the UK dedicated to responding to and meeting the Jewish community’s social and associated health care needs.  Through c1,400 dedicated staff and 3,000 volunteers, the organisation runs 70 centres and specialist services across London and the South East, both directly and in partnership with other organisations, touching the lives of 10,000 people each week.  With the firm belief that its work is “all about people”, Jewish Care understands that care and support must recognise the whole individual, particularly in times of distress or vulnerability. Jewish Care’s values of integrity, inclusive, excellence, enabling and creative are at the heart of the organisation’s work.

With the recent appointment of Daniel Carmel-Brown as Chief Executive, this is an exciting time of change and potential for Jewish Care, as it adapts to meet the needs of future residents and customers while ensuring services continue to be of the very highest quality. The Directors of Services will be key leaders of this change, across both care home services and wider community services, ensuring that Jewish Care keeps customers’ needs at the centre of all it does.

The Directors of Services report to the Chief Executive and will be key members of the Directorate Team, responsible for developing and driving the services strategy for Jewish Care. The ideal candidates will bring evidence of successful management and leadership experience in health, social care or wider service provision at a senior level across multiple sites, alongside experience working with senior level stakeholders, external agencies, and regulators.  Successful candidates will bring senior level, strategic experience within residential care services or services delivered within the community. Empathy with the Jewish community and its needs, as well as strong alignment with Jewish Care’s values, will be essential.
