Audley Group, the retirement living provider with 20 UK sites, has made its first ever appointment of a health and wellness director for its portfolio of villages.
Emma Robinson will head up every aspect of health and wellness across the company, reporting to CEO Nick Sanderson.
She joins the 800-plus staffed company having had a global career focused on health, welfare and wellbeing working in government, higher education and private sector across Australia, Italy and the UK. Her most recent role was as dean of students within the UK higher education sector.
CEO Sanderson said: 'We have long committed to an integrated approach to health and wellness in our villages, and with Emma’s appointment we have found the right leader to take that approach to the next level. As a sector, we need to be moving beyond care, to look at every aspect of life and help people maintain their health and independence for as long as possible. Emma’s expertise across the health and wellness sector will be invaluable as we unveil our holistic strategy for 2024 and beyond.'
The company has net assets of around £227 mln (€262 mln).
