Welcome letter

Dear Candidate

Thank you for your interest in Hafod Care Association and in the role of Director of Nursing and

Residential Care. This is a new post that has recently been created due to continued expansion

and growth.

The Association has seen tremendous growth in its size and impact over recent years. To

continue to keep up with an ever-changing environment and the needs of our customers we are

now seeking to appoint a new Director to Hafod Care. Over the coming months we will also see

the appointment of our new Managing Director to replace the leadership of Robert Wathen

who will be retiring from the Association in October.

Better homes, Better care, Better communities, Better lives – the Hendre Group’s joint vision

reflects our continued ambition. As the new Director of Nursing and Residential Care of Hafod

Care and part of the executive team, you will lead on advancing, stimulating residential and

nursing care services. Ensuring robust scrutiny, assessment and review processes deliver high

standards and a culture of continuous improvement you will also ensure the continuity and

strategic direction of the Association.

Hafod Care is an important member of the Hendre Group. Its scale and scope of activity and

service focus means that Hafod Care will play a key role in the future growth of the Group.

However, we are clear that growth will not come at the expense of quality to our existing clients

who remain very much at the centre of everything we do. Taking our staff on a new journey is

equally as important; they are a dedicated team and will want a leader who shares their passion

for care and quality.

We hope we have given you a compelling picture of what is on offer here. We believe that it is a

unique opportunity to be part of an organisation that has a strong reputation and one that has

the potential for further achievement – while being supported by the strength that comes from

being part of a larger group and working with like-minded colleagues. We hope you will feel that

Hafod Care is the right organisation to join and we very much look forward to receiving your

application.

The Hendre Group

The Hendre Group is one of

South Wales' premier housing,

care and support providers with

more than 1,300 staff and nearly

6,000 properties delivering a wide range of housing, care and support services to more than

15,000 people.

The Hendre Group was formed in November 2002. Hafod Housing Association (with its

principle activities being the management and provision of general needs social housing)

and Hafod Care Association (with its principle activities being the care and support of elderly

and vulnerable adults) are both subsidiaries of Hendre Limited. Hendre Limited, in addition

to providing strategic direction to the Hendre Group, also provided central corporate

services, such as finance, IT, HR, development and company secretarial services.

The Hendre Group has undergone many changes over the past twelve years, culminating in

a current re-organisation (reflected in the chart below) which sees the creation of Hafod

Corporate Services as a sister entity alongside Hafod Housing and Hafod Care. Hafod

Corporate Services will in future provide all central services previously provided by Hendre

Limited, allowing the parent to focus on the strategic development of the Group in the

challenging times ahead.

About Hafod Care

Our vision, values and mission

Hafod Care is a housing association, first registered in 1998, with a turnover of almost £27

million that provides through its 1,200 staff care and support services to aid vulnerable

people throughout South and West Wales.

Our vision describes what we want Hafod Care to do. This is:

Better Homes | Better Care | Better Communities | Better Lives

Our “Values” describe how we will do this and how we all behave in our roles. These are:

Being Open | Being innovative | Being sustainable

Our mission is to work with partners and service users to create housing, support and care

solutions which empower individuals to grow in confidence, feel able to make choices and

decisions about their lives and enjoy lives in their communities.

Our services and homes

Our services are split into two directorates:

Nursing and Residential Care:

Hafod Care currently manages 10 residential care homes for older people, and 3

nursing homes for the elderly. The Director of Nursing and Residential Care will have

overall responsibility for these 13 care homes. Of these homes, four are in Cardiff,

four in Torfaen, two in the Vale of Glamorgan, two in Bridgend and one in Caerphilly.

We ensure that the care and the physical environment in our homes are maintained

to the highest standards. The Association is continually striving to improve and to

provide new services. In recent years, Hafod Care has built two large, state-of-the-

art, residential and nursing homes in Bridgend and Caerphilly. Brocastle home in

Bridgend opened in August 2008, and Ty Penrhos in Caerphilly opened March 2010.

Since then we have recently built a brand new residential home for the elderly on

the site of the former Woodcroft home in Trowbridge, Cardiff.

For more information on these care homes please see our website:

July 2014 of 19

Supported Housing and Community Care:

Housing related support: Hafod Care provides accommodation and housing-related

support for a wide range of people with varying levels of support needs. We pride

ourselves on our ability to offer the specialist help and support they need. Many of

the people we house and support find it difficult to maintain a tenancy

independently. We are well equipped to offer the help and support people need in

order to maximise their independence.

Domiciliary care: Hafod Care has expanded the domiciliary care services it provides.

We offer a range of services for older people in their own homes in Bridgend, Cardiff,

Merthyr Tydfil, Rhondda Cynon Taff and Torfaen. The services include: general care,

administration of medication, domestic help, assistance with community integration,

night sitting, companionship, and escort duties.

Extra care housing: We have an ongoing programme of developing extra care

schemes, the first of which we recently built and opened in Merthyr; the second we

are about to complete the building work in the Vale of Glamorgan; and the third is

about to commence on site in RCT. These larger developments are supplemented by

a range of smaller close care developments designed to help people live

independently.
