Leon's Bio
Empowering Through Knowledge
I am a Chartered Fellow of the Chartered of Personnel & Development with over 26 years of experience as an Executive Director in health and social care. My career began as an HR Director, followed by 17 years as Chief Executive overseeing a portfolio of care homes, extra housing schemes, and home care services.
I currently serve as the Chair of the Board for Rotherfield St Martin, a multi-award-winning charity that received
the King's Award for Voluntary Service in 2024 and supports nearly 300 older people.
Throughout my extensive career in CQC-registered health and social care, I have managed countless poor performance and misconduct cases, often collaborating with major UK trade unions. Additionally, I have chaired disciplinary and appeal hearings, with some cases leading to summary dismissals and referrals to the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) and the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC).
Strong leadership and effective employees are essential to minimising risks and enhancing client and patient outcomes, while ineffective leadership can lead to significant consequences, including legal actions and sanctions from the Care Quality Commission (CQC).
​
Residing in Tunbridge Wells, Kent, I live with my wife and provide full-time, unpaid care for our eight-year-old granddaughter, who has autism with PDA.
