Ex Notting Hill Housing and CABE executive joins talent management provider

Web-based HR and talent management provider JGP has appointed former Notting Hill Housing group corporate services director and CABE resources director Jayne Hilditch as chief operating officer.
Hilditch will assume responsibility for managing growth and profitability at the company as it continues its rapid growth in the public sector. JGP helps over 100 public sector organisations to build online strategies for changing HR needs and meeting the Government’s wider Transformation Agenda.

Before joining JGP, Jayne was group corporate services director at Notting Hill Housing Group. As part of a new executive “turnaround” team, she helped the group achieve Audit Commission “one star with excellent prospects” rating within first six months after previously indifferent assessments from the government watchdog. She was also instrumental in the rethinking and re-branding of the housing provider’s public image and its internal communications in the last couple of years.

Prior to her position at Notting Hill, Jayne was director of resources at the Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment (CABE), the government’s advisor on urban design and the public space. She was responsible for the establishment of a new corporate infrastructure for CABE to help manage its growth from 32 to 90 staff during her tenure. This included setting up a resources team that drew on a variety of disciplines such as IT, Finance, HR, FM, compliance to meet organisational objectives.
Jayne Hilditch said: “The public sector is changing quickly – more quickly than people realise and JGP is helping many bodies address tough recruitment and cost saving challenges. It’s very exciting to be joining a social enterprise that has such impressive growth potential and genuine commitment to help both local communities and individuals.”

JGP co-founder Richard Tyrie said: “JGP is achieving rapid growth and we’re delighted to have someone of Jayne’s expertise and know-how joining our senior management team to manage and improve our corporate processes. She has a very impressive record in helping organisations achieve the flexible performance structures that enable them to hit demanding performance outcomes and growth targets.”
Jayne is a member of the Chartered Institute of Public Finance Accountancy (CIPFA) and has a BSc Economics from Warwick University.
