Joanne takes up her new role on June 1st.
Father Hudson’s Caritas is delighted to announce the appointment of Joanne Watters, currently Community Projects Lead, as our new CEO. Joanne is already well known and respected across the West Midlands in her present role. Her experience in building partnerships, developing and sustaining services for older people, those experiencing homelessness and asylum seekers/refugees coupled with her previous experience with care and disability services is a strong foundation on which to build as she leads us into a new era.
Joanne has an excellent understanding of the complexities of statutory and non-statutory funding streams and of the importance of effective governance. She is driven and sustained by her faith and is committed to continuing our mission of service aligned to Catholic Social Teaching.
