Dear Applicant,

Thank you for taking the time to look into joining Ridgeway Partnership (Oxfordshire Learning Disability NHS Trust), we hope you find the accompanying information helpful in your decision to apply for either the Chief Executive or Director of Operations post.

The Ridgeway Partnership is one of the leading providers in the UK of specialist health services to people with learning disabilities. The Trust also provides social care services which include enabling service users to live in their own home as a tenant, providing residential care in a registered care home in Oxfordshire and providing respite or Short Term Breaks services.

The Trust provides services for adults and children who have complex and demanding health and social care support needs across the whole county and beyond. Our services include forensic, acute admission, rehabilitation and community health services as well as providing support to people living in their own homes.

We have an ambitious organisational change and business expansion agenda, which includes the anticipated Foundation Trust authorisation in mid-2009.

If you would like to be involved in the future of Ridgway Partnership we would be delighted to hear from you. For an initial informal / confidential discussion about either role please do not hesitate to contact our retained advisors, Acertus.

Yours faithfully

Julia Clarke
