Joy Lees
Operations Director & Responsible Individual
Outstanding social care is often measured by the difference it makes to people’s lives.
Few embody that principle more than Joy, whose leadership, compassion and determination have transformed outcomes for some of the most vulnerable children in care.
Joy oversees residential and therapeutic services supporting children aged 8 to 18 who have experienced significant trauma, complex disabilities and life-limiting conditions.
Under her leadership, Almond Care Children’s Services has achieved strong inspection outcomes while maintaining a culture focused on stability, nurture and ambition for every child.
