Before we talk

Start with a specific difficulty in the network

Give us concrete examples of where things stall and describe the facilities involved. We build the search around those situations.

  1. Is the organisational issue between head office and facilities, between facilities in an area or within a service?
  2. Which decisions should remain local, and which should be coordinated or made at area or head office level?
  3. Which directors and team managers will help define roles and then put the new arrangements into practice?

Do you practise one of these roles?

  • Social care operations director
  • Area / regional director
  • Social care services director
  • Multi-site organisation project manager
  • Social care organisational consultant

We look for these profiles for our clients on a regular basis. Tell us about your achievements and the projects you have led: a talent agent calls you back to understand what you are looking for.

Frequently asked

Management of social care organisations: your questions

Do we need an area director or an organisational consultant?

An area director receives management responsibility. A consultant can analyse and improve processes without being given that authority. Describe who needs to make decisions and manage teams, so the brief can be scoped correctly.

How can facilities retain autonomy when functions are shared?

Identify which decisions stay local and what head office is actually expected to deliver. For each shared process, say who asks, who answers, who approves, and how a disagreement gets settled.

Can we start with a single area?

An initial scope helps clarify the working relationships to address and the criteria for extending the approach. Define the participating facilities and the decisions that can be made, without assuming one operating model will suit the whole network. If the focus is practice and evaluation, see social care quality and transformation.

Does the professional need to be on site?

On-site requirements depend on the brief, teams and situations to observe. A brief covering several sites should include local meetings and explain remote coordination arrangements, without prescribing a universal frequency.

How do multi-site organisation and quality improvement differ?

Multi-site organisation addresses responsibilities and operating processes. Quality work focuses on practices, risks and improvement monitoring. They can be coordinated, with separate leads and decisions.
