Care provider Heathcotes Group has appointed Natalia Lysiuk as Director of Business Development.
Previously Head of Commissioning at Heathcotes, Natalia is now part of the senior leadership team with a key strategic role in the growth of the company’s nationwide service portfolio, overseeing existing business development alongside the identification of new bespoke service streams.
Natalia has a wealth of experience in development roles in the health and social care sector. Before joining Heathcotes almost five years ago, she worked in a commissioning role for an independent mental health care provider.
Heathcotes Group specialises in person-centred care for adults with learning disabilities, mental health needs and associated challenging behaviours.
Heathcotes Group Managing Director, Brendan Kelly, said: “Natalia joined Heathcotes in 2015 and she has been a fundamental part of our success over the past five years, building excellent relationships with clinical commissioning groups and local authorities. She has played a leading role in the growth of Heathcotes’ full-time residential care services and the introduction of a new independent supported living provision which has enabled us to provide a full care pathway. Natalia has also worked closely with our clinical team in the successful development of a unique model of residential therapy for people with personality disorders and has also played a key role in the development of our children’s services portfolio.”
Natalia said: “I am excited to take on this new role, as Heathcotes Group plans its growth and development in 2020. We ended last year on a high, with two services receiving an Outstanding rating from the CQC, and we have just opened the largest provision of independent supported living that we have built on a single site, offering eight self-contained apartments in Leeds which have 24-hour staff support. That model of care will be an important part of our ongoing expansion alongside our full-time care provision and I am keen to develop more of this across the UK.”
