• Oversee the completion, presentation, and review of quality compliance audits in line with the CQC regulatory framework, producing clear reports and presenting findings to the Board, regulators, and stakeholders to provide assurance, transparency, and evidence of consistently high care standards across all allocated services.
• Gather, analyse, and interpret data to identify trends, report on performance, and recommend actions that enhance service delivery.
• Support Home Managers by working collaboratively with colleagues and external stakeholders, building positive relationships and leaving a confident impression on residents, families, and partners to promote the quality of our care and services.
• Lead and support projects, contributing to the development and implementation of policies and procedures, while playing an active role in initiatives that strengthen care quality, efficiency, and outcomes across the service.
• Gather feedback from residents, families, staff, and other professionals to inform quality improvements and support the delivery of person-centred, responsive care.
