TERRY ROGERS: DIRECTOR OF HUMAN RESOURCES
I am Brandon's Director of Human Resources and have headed the HR team in Brandon since 1996. My first experiences of working with people with a learning disability were as a social worker in the 1970's. Then, as a training manager in Avon Social Services, I led on learning and development for staff working in the learning disability field. After a spell as Training Manager at HFT, a similar charity, I moved into a generalist HR management role, qualifying with the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development in 1992, at which I am now a Fellow. I also hold social work and training management qualifications.
MY EXPERIENCES IN HR HAVE INCLUDED:
- Setting up HR functions from scratch
- Extensive TUPE transfers since the instigation of Brandon Trust
- Designing and implementing new salary and grading structures
- Implementing new employment contracts and policies
- Successful working with Unions
- Strategic HR management
- Steering group member of the national Charities HR Network
In Brandon, we are now embarked on a five year programme to diversify and individualise services that are already highly rated. We will do this only through understanding, engaging, developing, enthusing and empowering our employees at all levels to deliver in a new culture of success. In a nutshell, this is my current interest and is a truly strategic agenda.
