Your Mission

• Lead the day‑to‑day running of the branch, ensuring efficiency, profitability, and outstanding care
• Hold CQC/CIW registration and ensure full compliance

• Champion best practice and support ongoing staff development

What You’ll Bring

• Proven management experience in a regulated sector (care, healthcare, education, housing, or similar)
