Finance Director

Dolphin Homes

In May 2020, Compass Executives were exclusively appointed to source an exceptional Finance Director for Dolphin Homes – a growing Residential Specialist Care (Adults) provider, as part of a newly created role in the business. Dolphin Homes are backed by UK Private Equity Fund, BGF.

The successful candidate would need to be able to demonstrate the capacity to grow the business over the forthcoming cycle, deliver insightful financial analysis on performance to drive company growth, demonstrate outstanding stakeholder management – particularly having familiarity of working in a Private Equity backed environment – and be involved in M&A and land acquisition activities.

Compass Executives were mandated the assignment owing to their track record in the specialist care sector, in particular at Dolphin Homes where the Operations Director had recently been placed by the team. Given the outstanding service in securing this headcount, Compass Executives were an obvious choice for the Finance requirement.

CANDIDATE VIEW

Working with Compass Executives to take the next step in my career was possibly one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Right from the outset I knew this was a company and a team I could trust to get me where I wanted to go. From the initial conversation about my career, desires and aspirations right through to final appointment, it was very clear that the team were sector specialists, combining in-depth knowledge with a professional and supportive approach. In any project or process, I place huge importance on being able to trust and rely on the people I am working with, and this is particularly important with recruitment, when you’re unfamiliar with the individuals you are dealing with. This is clearly something Compass Executives understands and prides itself on, as the transparency and honesty they demonstrate together with a commitment to keeping you completely informed during every stage of the timeline is clearly evident. I would have no hesitation in using Compass Executives as a candidate in the future and would readily reach out to them for any recruitment requirements we have going forward.
