Leading not-for-profit care group Greensleeves Care has announced that Chris Doherty, currently Chief Financial Officer, will step into the role of Acting Chief Executive in February 2025. This follows the recently announced departure of Paul Newman, who is leaving the organisation after over a decade to take up a new role as Group Chief Executive of the Summit and We Care groups.
Chris Doherty has been an integral part of Greensleeves Care’s leadership team for more than ten years. As CFO, he has overseen the organisation’s financial growth and stability, and his experience and knowledge of the charity’s operations will ensure a smooth transition.
Speaking about his appointment, Chris said:
“I am privileged to have the opportunity to lead Greensleeves Care during this transitional period. I look forward to working closely with our team to maintain our focus on delivering high-quality care and supporting our residents and colleagues.”
The recruitment process for a permanent Chief Executive is underway and is being led by Green Park Executive Search. Greensleeves Care is committed to appointing a leader who will build on its strong foundation and drive its mission of delivering exceptional care for older people.
Dallas Pounds, Chair of the Board of Trustees, said:
“Chris has been part of Greensleeves Care’s success for over ten years and is well-placed to lead the charity as Acting CEO. We are also looking forward to welcoming a permanent Chief Executive to steer us into the future and remain incredibly grateful to Paul for his transformative leadership over the past decade, during which Greensleeves Care has grown into one of the sector’s leading organisations.”
A 28-care home group consistently named among the top 20 in England, Greensleeves Care remains focused on its strategic priorities including continuous quality improvement, sustainability, inclusion, and innovation.
