Jayne in human resources hot seat
NOT-FOR-PROFIT care provider, Borough Care, has appointed a new head of human resources.
Jayne Hennessey will be responsible for human resources strategic planning for Borough Care’s 11 homes across Stockport.
Her work will include updating programmes for employee engagement and training and rewards and benefits.
Jayne is also keen to increase engagement with the local community, to bolster Borough Care’s pool of volunteers. She said: “I’m looking forward to reviewing Borough Care’s current human resources processes and making any necessary improvements as the company goes through a period of organisational change.
“I was attracted to the role, as I believe the care sector for older people is still widely viewed as one that predominately attracts females and historically offers low paid jobs.
“I am keen to change these perceptions by working with schools, educational institutions and local communities to highlight the importance of the sector at a time when our aging population continues to increase, and promote the wide range of employment opportunities available.”
Dr Mark Ward, CEO of Borough Care, added: “As we evolve and develop as a company, the role of human resources is critical in ensuring we equip our existing staff with the right skills and attract the best talent.”
