Leon's Bio
Empowering Through Knowledge
I am a Chartered Fellow of the Chartered of Personnel & Development with over 27 years of experience as an Executive Director in health and social care. My executive career began as an HR Director, followed by 17 years as Chief Executive overseeing a portfolio of nursing and care homes, extra care housing, supported housing, and home care services.
I am the former Board Chair of 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 nine-year-old granddaughter who lives with us and has autism with PDA.
