Leon has had the privilege throughout most of his adult life of pursuing his passion for supporting people, both professionally and voluntarily.

 

His​ career has included 24 years at senior level in People Management, one of the highlights of which was establishing and leading a specialist team to support employees following acute traumatic events in their roles. He has also spent 25 years in Health & Social Care, initially as HR Director and later for 17 years as Chief Executive.

 

He is experienced in working closely with Care Home Managers and Homecare Managers, and has developed a deep understanding of what is expected from staff in these demanding roles. Over the years, he has conducted investigations as well as chaired disciplinary and appeal hearings, so he know's how to hold providers accountable when standards are not met.

 

Alongside his professional career, he voluntarily assists individuals with employment disputes, including Employment Tribunal claims. Around a decade ago, he extended his voluntary work to supporting families navigating the complexities of health and social care for adults, particularly when they were dissatisfied with the care provided to their loved ones.

 

He is currently Chair of the Board of Rotherfield St Martin, a multi-award-winning charity (including the King’s Award for Voluntary Service in 2024 ) that supports 300 older people. He lives in Tunbridge Wells, Kent, with his wife, together they are unpaid carers for their eight-year-old granddaughter, who has autism with PDA and lives with them.

​

Following his retirement, he established 2Manage Concern to provide specialist, low cost support for adults experiencing poor care from organisations regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) including care homes and homecare (community care) providers. Families in dispute with defensive providers or local authorities often need personalised support, guidance, and resilience to achieve the best outcome. 2Manage Concern offers this inexpensively plus straightforward support and advice along with representation.

Leon hold's an Enhanced DBS Check for working with vulnerable adults, giving families reassurance of his integrity and suitability to support you.
