ExtraCare Charitable Trust is a distinctive organisation, bringing together housing, development, lifestyle and care to create communities where older people can live well, remain independent and stay connected. Its model is built around quality of life, making a tangible difference to residents' day to day experience. With the current corporate plan coming to an end, alongside the retirement of the Chief Executive, this role will lead the development and delivery of the organisation's next phase of strategy and corporate planning. This will require a focus on financial sustainability and alignment to ExtraCare's purpose and values, alongside oversight of performance, risk and governance, and leadership of the Executive team and wider organisation. Clear direction, consistent delivery and sound judgement will be essential, particularly in balancing longer term ambition with day to day operational performance. Working with the Board and colleagues across the organisation, you will help shape what comes next for ExtraCare, bringing vision and creativity to how direction is defined and translated into delivery. This includes identifying opportunities for growth, partnership and innovation, while maintaining a clear focus on performance, accountability and organisational resilience. This role will suit an experienced Chief Executive or senior leader who is confident operating across both strategy and delivery. You will bring the ability to set clear direction while staying close to operational performance, ensuring that ambition is carried through in practice and reflected in the quality and consistency of services. Alongside this, a clear sense of vision and experience of leading through change and transformation are essential. You will be able to take the organisation forward in a way that builds on its strengths, while providing clarity and confidence around future direction. A genuine connection to ExtraCare's purpose is equally important, with an interest in the communities it serves and in how services are experienced across its villages and schemes shaping your approach and decision making, alongside an appreciation of the difference this work makes to people's day to day lives. Ultimately, this is an opportunity to lead ExtraCare into its next phase, building on what is already strong while shaping a future that continues to make a meaningful difference for residents and communities.
