ExtraCare is a charity that really does deliver on its vision of ‘better lives for older people’ – developing and operating integrated retirement communities for older people and supporting them to live independently and well. The Charity mission is ‘creating sustainable communities that provide Homes older people want; Lifestyles they can enjoy; and Care if it’s needed’.

The post holder will lead the Committee in its role in reviewing and scrutinising ExtraCare’s financial affairs, internal control, risk management, and governance arrangements: providing assurance to the Board that these are appropriate, proportionate and compliant with relevant legal and regulatory requirements, and that residents, customers and other stakeholder interests are protected.
