Josh joined Cedar Health and Wellbeing in October 2022 as Registered Manager of Grey Gables, successfully leading the service through its first CQC inspection, before becoming Registered Manager for Supported Living. His operational leadership experience has provided him with a strong foundation in quality assurance, regulatory compliance and service development.

In his current role as Business Development Commissioning Manager, Josh works closely with local authorities, commissioners and partner organisations to develop high-quality Residential and Supported Living opportunities. He is passionate about ensuring services are designed around the individual needs of people supported, promoting independence, positive outcomes and sustainable service growth.
