Group Board Member - Dimensions
Dimensions is a large and complex organisation supporting people with learning disabilities and autistic people, including those with complex needs. We enable thousands of people to have greater choice and control over their lives. The people we support, tenants and their families are at the heart of everything we do, and we want every one of them to have a great life with excellent outcomes.
As one of our long-standing Board Members comes to the end of their term, we are now looking to appoint a new Full Group Board Member. As one of the largest providers of support in England and Wales, our Board Members play a crucial role in ensuring that Dimensions continues to thrive, and to deliver our strategy of Even Better Lives for Even More People. Operating in a highly regulated sector, our Group Board works in conjunction with our Group Executive Team to deliver our Vision and Strategy, they provide scrutiny and challenge and work hard to ensure that Dimensions adheres to its purpose and mission.
The conditions we operate within continue to be challenging. This is a sector that is both undervalued and under invested in. Recruitment is tough. Too many people with learning disabilities and autistic people are living a life that they wouldn’t choose for themselves.
In order to help us to navigate these challenges we are seeking a Board Member with a strong track record of successfully operating at a senior level either in a large social care provider (commercial or not-for-profit) or in Local Government. Your Board level experience (executive or non-executive) in a complex organisation will enable you to provide strategic expertise in areas such as fee negotiations/business development/operational challenges and regulation.
Most importantly, you will share our values and commitment for providing high-quality, person-centred support. You will be driven to use the skills and experience you have developed both professionally and personally to play a key role in the leadership of Dimensions. You will join a talented and well-run Board and Leadership Team to help us to continue to ensure that the people we support are at the heart of all the decisions we make.
Dimensions is committed to championing equity, diversity and inclusion throughout all aspects of the organisation’s work. As part of this the Board has made a commitment to achieving greater diversity.
