I'm currently recruiting for an experienced Head of Digital Care & AI to join a growing care organisation in a newly created senior leadership role.
This is a unique opportunity for someone who understands the realities of frontline care and is passionate about using technology, digital innovation, and AI to improve the quality of care, operational efficiency, and resident outcomes.
Please note: This is not an IT leadership role. We are looking for someone with a strong operational background within the care sector who has successfully led digital transformation and technology adoption.
The Role
Reporting into the senior leadership team, you will lead the organisation's digital care strategy, identifying and implementing innovative technologies that support both residents and colleagues across multiple care homes.
You'll work closely with operational, clinical, and technology teams to ensure digital solutions are practical, compliant, and deliver measurable improvements across the business.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead the organisation's digital care and AI strategy.
- Drive digital transformation projects across multiple care homes.
- Identify and implement innovative technologies that improve care delivery.
- Support the implementation of AI and automation within care environments.
- Champion the adoption of digital solutions by engaging and influencing frontline teams.
- Work closely with operational leaders to improve processes and resident outcomes.
- Ensure digital initiatives align with regulatory and governance requirements.
- Build strong relationships with stakeholders at all levels, from Executive Directors to Home Managers and frontline colleagues.
- Evaluate emerging technologies and recommend future improvements.
