Care England policy director Ann Mackay and external affairs advisor Louisa Collyer-Hamlin are to leave the representative body for independent providers of adult social care.
Collyer-Hamlin will depart Care England in mid-February while Mackay will leave in mid-March.
Mackay has worked for Care England and its predecessor bodies for many years, and she has decided to retire.
Care England said Mackay’s knowledge and networks within social care are “unparalleled” and will leave the organisation with “a great legacy of achievement”.
Collyer-Hamlin has also worked for Care England, and its predecessor bodies for many years, and she has decided to leave to concentrate on her family life and other interests.
“Louisa has worked tirelessly to ensure that Care England has a high media profile, and her Parliamentary work has also been outstanding and has positioned Care England as a respected and authoritative body with politicians of all parties, and in both Houses,” it said.
Care England chief executive Martin Green added: “Ann and Louisa will leave a very strong legacy for Care England and an enormous gap in our team.
“However, I want to reassure everyone that Ann and Louisa have developed a very strong and brilliant policy team, and though they are a tremendous loss, I have confidence that the team will continue their work and ensure Care England remains the premier representative body.”
Green continued: “I will be reviewing our current structure and moving swiftly to ensure these vital roles and functions are covered”.
