The next BIG step in making change happen is here – introducing 'Your Voice' 

We’re excited to introduce Your Voice - a forum created to give you the opportunity to share your ideas, give feedback, and work directly with colleagues and leaders to help shape how we grow together as an organisation.

It’s about making sure everyone has a space to be heard and valued, and that your feedback drives real change across CareTech, so that we create even more extraordinary days for the people we support and each other.

Why Your Voice?

Your feedback in the 2024 Employee Engagement Survey revealed a clear wish for greater involvement and clearer communication, and Your Voice is a key step in meeting this. It’s about building a company that reflects your insights and ideas, and promoting a culture of transparency.

  • Let’s Talk More: We heard you - 72% of you feel there’s open and honest two-way communication, and we’re committed to making it even better for everyone! Your Voice is a safe, inclusive space where you can speak directly with leadership.
  • Your Ideas in Action: 86% of you said that you understand how your work contributes to CareTech’s success. We’ll build on that by making sure your input shapes the changes that matter to you and your colleagues.
  • Strengthening Trust Together: We know 73% of you trust CareTech to be fair to all staff; Your Voice is our way of turning your feedback into meaningful actions so we can build an even stronger, more connected CareTech family.

What’s in it for you?

This is your opportunity to step forward, share Your Voice, and shape the future of CareTech in a way that truly reflects what matters most to you. It’s a fantastic chance to grow personally and professionally, building skills and connections that have a real impact on your development.

  • Have Your Say: Speak up, share your ideas, and help shape the decisions that matter to you and your colleagues.
  • Shape the Future: Be part of driving change by playing a key role in shaping our culture, policies, and initiatives.
  • Connect and Grow: Work closely with colleagues and leaders from across CareTech, building meaningful connections and growing your network.

How does it work?

Your Voice is all about capturing the real ideas and perspectives from across CareTech. The idea is simple: it’s led by you! It’s a voluntary initiative where we would love for you to come forward and express interest.

The Your Voice forum will meet periodically in a mix of face-to-face and virtual sessions, each about an hour long, to share, listen, and make a difference - together.

The sessions are designed to fit seamlessly into your working pattern - efficient, impactful, and focused. They won’t take up too much time, but they will make a big impact.

This is your opportunity to share ideas and propose actions, all while ensuring you have the time and space to continue with your day-to-day. It’s about making it easy for you to express your views and shape the future of CareTech.

Your Leaders Supporting Your Voice

Your Voice will be supported by executive management sponsors who are passionate about turning your ideas into actions. Leading this initiative are:

  • Nasir Quraishi, Group Executive Director, Adults & Specialist Services
  • Jeremy Wiles, Group Executive Director, Children’s Services
  • Christopher Dickinson, Chief Financial Officer
  • Steve Bennett, Group Executive Director, Human Resources.
