Care Leaders Consultancy icon Born from shared experience

Care Leaders Consultancy was born from decades of lived experience across the team in the health and care sector, not from theory, but from the reality of leading, improving and sustaining services.

Claire, Corinne and Mark each built their careers within the health and care sector. They have led services, supported teams through inspection, navigated regulatory change, delivered operational turnaround, and worked alongside owners and investors to strengthen performance. They understand the weight of responsibility that comes with running a care home, not just the pressure of compliance, but the human responsibility to the people who live there. Over time, they noticed a pattern. Too often, services were being offered quick fixes, mock inspections, short-term interim support, and advice that looked good on paper but didn’t translate into daily practice. Consultants would come and go, leaving behind reports but not lasting change. And the frustrations across the sector remained.

From this shared experience came a shared conviction: care homes, their teams, their leaders and their owners deserve something better. At Care Leaders Consultancy, rather than working on care homes, we work with them.

Compliance is important, but it is only the foundation. True quality comes when leadership is confident, systems are clear, teams are aligned, and culture is strong.

Care Leaders Consultancy icon Coming together

Between them, Claire, Corinne and Mark bring:

  • Extensive leadership experience across the care sector
  • Hands-on operational turnaround expertise
  • Regulatory insight and practical CQC readiness support
  • Due diligence experience

They understand the increasing strain on care home operators, rising costs, workforce shortages, regulatory scrutiny, and the challenge of maintaining quality while remaining sustainable.

They have worked with CQC registered care home operators of all sizes, from smaller owner-led organisations without operational managers to larger groups and investors requiring clarity and assurance.

This breadth of experience allows them to see the whole picture: quality, culture, compliance, leadership, finance and long-term sustainability.

Individually, they were already making impact. Together, they realised they could create something more powerful.

More than compliance.

When leadership is strong and systems are clear, the people living in care homes experience better, safer, and more compassionate care. Every conversation, every piece of guidance, every improvement plan ultimately comes back to the individuals who rely on these services.
