Our board

The JRHT Board set our strategic direction, monitors our performance, and makes sure that we run our operations in line with regulations and the law.

Our board members have a wide range of skills, knowledge and expertise including finance, business, development, social policy, and research.

We are regulated by the Regulator of Social Housing (RSH) and the Care Quality Commission (CQC). The RSH has rated us as G1 for governance and V2 for viability. These ratings reflect the strengthen of our leadership and governance. But also recognises the significant financial challenges faced by all registered social housing providers. All our care services are rated as ‘Good’ by the CQC which shows we are performing well and meeting all CQC’s requirements.
