Not-for-profit care provider HICA Group, headquartered in Hessle, Yorkshire, has appointed Helen Worsley and Sam Kind as financial controllers.

Worsley and Kind have experience of financial management, control and strategy across the public and private sector. Worsley previously worked at PwC and telecommunications company KCOM, while Kind worked in the UK’s civil service and at independent care provider Pickering & Ferens Homes.

Terry Peel, HICA’s chief executive, said: “Their appointments mark a significant step in bolstering our financial stewardship, ensuring we continue to uphold the highest standards of accountability and transparency. They share our passion for making a positive difference, and I am confident that their expertise will be invaluable in supporting HICA’s journey of innovation and excellence in care.”

Worsley said: “The opportunity to make a difference and challenge myself in a new role, managing a large finance team in a growing not-for-profit organisation, really appealed to me. I take a lot of pride in the work HICA does to deliver high-quality, bespoke care after growing up watching my mum work as a carer and always putting the needs of others first.”

HICA Group has more than 1,500 employees.
