Baltimore Consulting is proud to announce the promotion of Terry Lee to Divisional Lead for Social Care and Housing, reinforcing our continued commitment to supporting Local Authorities across London, the South East, and the South Coast with specialist, high impact recruitment solutions.
Since joining Baltimore Consulting in 2022, Terry has established himself as a trusted subject matter expert within Adult Social Care and Public Health. Working across both interim and permanent appointments, Terry has partnered with councils throughout the South of England, most recently supporting three new neighbouring Local Authorities within a single month to meet urgent and complex hiring needs.
In his new role, Terry will lead the Social Care and Housing division alongside Nikki Smith, Divisional Manager, strengthening Baltimore Consulting’s consultative, solutions focused approach to Public Sector recruitment.
At the heart of Terry’s work is a clear understanding that every brief represents real people and real communities. Whether supporting the stabilisation of safeguarding services, enhancing quality assurance, or helping councils navigate periods of leadership change, his focus has always been on long‑term, meaningful impact.
Known both internally and externally for leading from the front, Terry combines deep sector knowledge with a genuine commitment to outcomes that matter. By placing the right people into the right roles, he helps councils deliver safer services, more consistent practice, and better outcomes for residents who rely on them every day.
Leading from the front
Suzanne Rudd, Sales Operations Director at Baltimore Consulting, said:
“Terry’s commitment to his clients and candidates has been nothing short of exceptional since joining Baltimore Consulting. What truly sets him apart is his understanding of the responsibility that comes with recruiting into adult social care and public health – these are roles that directly impact people’s lives.
Terry builds trusted relationships with senior leaders because he genuinely understands their pressures and the importance of getting it right. Watching him grow as a leader has been a pleasure, and his promotion to Divisional Lead for Social Care and Housing is thoroughly deserved. His collaborative style and passion for meaningful outcomes will continue to strengthen our partnerships and support our leadership team as we drive sustainable growth.”
Making a difference to local communities
The impact of Terry’s work is best reflected through the experiences of the councils and communities he supports.
Luke Addams Fallon, Assistant Director of Safeguarding and Quality Assurance – Adult Social Care, shared:
“We needed someone who could fundamentally improve how safeguarding audits were designed, delivered and assured across multiple boroughs; this wasn’t a standard hire. Terry understood immediately what was at stake.
The professional he placed has helped us prepare for CQC, redesigned our audit framework, and created a quality assurance tool that is now fit for business‑as‑usual practice. The long‑term impact will be more consistent safeguarding practice and stronger protection for the people who rely on our services.
Throughout the process, Terry was patient, communicative, and genuinely invested. He made a complex process feel manageable.”
What’s next?
Reflecting on his promotion, Terry said:
“I’m incredibly excited to step into the role of Divisional Lead for Social Care and Housing. We’ve had a very busy start to the year, supporting Local Authorities with senior roles that directly influence safeguarding, service delivery and community wellbeing.
I’m proud of my journey at Baltimore Consulting so far and really looking forward to continuing to support councils and leadership teams with the people they need to drive meaningful, positive change.”
