This year, we introduced our first leadership awayday, bringing together managers, deputies and team leaders from across Wellgate — and what a few days it was!
Coming away from the experience, we feel incredibly fortunate to have such a passionate and dedicated group of leaders within Wellgate. Every day, they work hard to ensure our services are warm, welcoming homes for the people we support, while making Wellgate a great place to work for their teams.
Strong leadership is at the heart of everything we do, and it was wonderful to bring everyone together, share experiences and look forward.
There’s more to come on what we got up to, but for now, we want to take a moment to recognise and appreciate all of Wellgate’s incredible leaders. Thank you for everything you do!
A special thank you to Robert McAfee, our CEO, for leading the day and sharing Wellgate’s values, our vision for the future, how we’ll get there and what we expect from our leaders.
We also heard some fantastic insights from:
🌟 Ash Akhtar and Helen Dyball – Leadership expectations and courageous conversations.
🌟 Millie Powell– Building our presence on LinkedIn and how it can support our growth.
🌟 Ash Akhtar and Ana Beja– Listening to our teams and exploring the latest survey findings.
🌟 Robyn – Care 4 Quality Ltd, CQC developments and inspection readiness.
🌟 Robert McAfee and Ana Beja– Governance and compliance systems, including Breathe HR and SharePoint.
🌟 Henry Beynon – Property operations, repairs and maintenance.
Thank you to everyone who asked questions, shared experiences and got involved in the discussions and group activities. Now it’s over to all of us to put those conversations and commitments into practice!
