Lisa Trigg appointed director of transformation and workforce development

Lisa Trigg has been promoted to the role of director of transformation and workforce development at Social Care Wales.

She was assistant director of research, data and innovation at the organisation, a role she’s carried out since 2018. Since joining Social Care Wales, Trigg has worked across the country to set up research, innovation and data services for the social care sector.

Before joining Social Care Wales, she spent seven years at the London School of Economics carrying out research on international social care systems and government approaches to improving quality in care for older people.

She also has experience in supporting significant service improvements in a range of public and private sector organisations in the UK and Australia.

Trigg will take up the role in September, replacing Sarah McCarty who is stepping into the role of chief executive in July.

‘I’ve thoroughly enjoyed leading our research, data and innovation work as part of Sarah’s directorate and now look forward to also working closely with our talented workforce development and improvement teams,’ Trigg said.

‘I’ve experienced first-hand the brilliant social care work that’s happening in Wales while supporting my mother over many years and I’m honoured to be taking on a role where I can support this vital workforce.’
