Val Scrase

Regional Director

I joined HCRG Care Group as regional director with many years of experience within operational and strategic management roles. 

The beginning of my career in 1984 saw me graduate and gain my professional nurse and district nurse registration via the University of Edinburgh. My professional registration remains something that is core to my decision-making in my current management role. I then trained as a specialist community public health nurse at Oxford Brookes University in 1985.  

Following this, I worked as a health visitor in Oxford, Hampshire and Wiltshire before moving to management roles in community services. I’ve also been a professional executive nurse at board level. 

When did you start working in your current position and what do you do?

I’ve been in my current position since 2016. I’m in charge of delivering outstanding services, that my colleagues and I are proud to deliver, to everyone who needs us. I also work collaboratively across HCRG Care Group to spread innovation and learning, provide support to operational and corporate colleagues and to champion our purpose and values.

What was your journey to this role?

I joined HCRG Care Group as part of the team who transferred when out Wiltshire service joined the business. Before this, I held several operational and strategic management roles in community health (both adults and children).

What is the best thing about your role?

Everything! I love being part of a team who delivers quality services and transformation, and I love working on service improvement and system thinking. It’s also great to work with wonderful colleagues.

Why would you recommend that someone work with HCRG Care Group?

HCRG Care Group is a great place to work. We are innovative, think creatively, respond quickly, feel empowered to make decisions that make a difference and improve care for people who use our services.
