Katy Wilburn

Role: Non-executive Director

What I do

My role on the Board is to hold the Chief Executive and her Executive Team to account for the delivery of the organisation’s strategic aims and objectives. I am a member of the Finance and Performance Committee and the Mental Health Legislation Committee. I am also the Non-executive Director Champion for Sustainability.

How I contribute to improving the experience of service users and carers

By holding the executive directors to account, I ensure that services are provided in the most effective and efficient way.

My experience

For the past 12 years I have worked in the social housing sector, specialising in performance monitoring, service improvement, and delivery redesign. I am currently the Head of Transformation for First Choice Homes in Oldham. I am also a non-executive director for another social housing provider based in the North-East, Thirteen Group, where I chair the Customer Committee, ensuring the customer voice is central to the Group’s strategic decision making.

My personal motive for joining the Board is my teenage son, Sam, who was diagnosed with autism at the age of three. Alongside my professional expertise, as a family we also have 10 years of lived experience of a number of services similar to those delivered by the Trust.
