HR Team

Diane Rogers

Head of HR

Diane has over 30 years of experience in HR having started her career in London working as a Personnel and Training manager in various hotels. She left London in 1995 to have her son moving back to Kent where she grew up.

After a period of maternity leave, Diane worked firstly in HR in a large Insurance Company and then was lucky enough to secure the role of Assistant Personnel Manager for Kent Police which was an incredibly interesting and often exciting role. After six years, Diane left to join Kent Fire and Rescue Service as Policy and Strategy Officer where she stayed for over two years and has immense respect for both public services.

Diane's move to social care happened in 2010 when she joined Avante Care as an Operational HR Manager, an organisation providing 24-hour care and support for people living with dementia. Diane really enjoyed being part of seeing how the HR department could add to the quality of the care provided to the service users and ensure staff were treated in a fair and equitable way. She was promoted to Head of HR and Organisational Development.

On leaving, Diane undertook some work with Faversham Counselling services, in HR, a service she has a lot of respect for, before joining PCAS in January 2023. Diane says she is really excited to be part of an organisation and team with such vision and passion in the work they do.
