Salutem Care and Education has promoted a dedicated professional, with more than 25 years’ worth of experience, to director of its children’s services division.
Karen Jackson joined Salutem, a leading residential and social care provider with 130 services nationwide, as a regional director in adult services.
After a successful spell as interim divisional director, Karen earned the permanent promotion to divisional director, overseeing the development of children’s services at Salutem.

“It’s nice to work with people from a different division and meet other hard-working members of staff, who are committed to working with children and young people.
“We have a very committed and passionate group, who are very supportive of the children and young people and I’m looking forward to seeing this division grow.”
