Ruth Dorman, CEO, joins Share!

Joe Whyte, Managing Director, resigned from 1st September 2021 due to retirement. Joe was in post for 22 years, joining Share in March 1999 and was a diplomatic, caring and compassionate leader who was liked and respected by staff, parents and services users alike. He selflessly postponed his earlier planned retirement in order to safely steer the organisation through Covid. Joe transformed the way Share approached housing for service users utilising his Architectural background to work in partnership with housing associations in the build of specially adapted housing for our Craigton Avenue and Dunlaw Wynd services. This massively improved living conditions for service users. The staff and service users wish him all the best in his retirement.

We are all in this together playing our individual and collective parts to ensure those we serve experience their best possible life.Ruth is an accomplished and experienced Chief Executive and a health and social care professional.
