Salutem Care and Education has appointed former regional director Ann Holt to its newly created role of director of adult care.

Ann, 45, who has been with the company since 2018, will be responsible for all of Salutem’s residential and day services.

Her promotion follows Salutem’s reconfiguring its business framework into four categories: adult, children, supported living and education.

Ann, who lives in Devon, has been a qualified social care practitioner for more than 20 years, having first specialised as a paediatric nurse.

John Godden, CEO at Salutem, said: “Ann is a dedicated social care professional, who is passionate about providing the highest standards of service and care.

“This, allied with the wealth of experience she has to draw upon, made her the ideal candidate for this new important strategic role within the company.”

Ann said: “I am proud to have been chosen to play an integral part in Salutem’s drive for continued success as it evolves to meet future business needs.

“I also am looking forward to supporting the company at an influential level to provide outstanding standards of care and outcomes for its adult service users and help staff achieve their full potential.”
