Your next prospective employer strongly believes this and that great care begins with great organisation. So they've created a new position in their company that will appeal to people who wish to make a meaningful impact but perhaps don't wish to hold a CQC registration of their own, and to people who have worked in care before and wishes their former workplaces were better organised.

Reporting directly to the Group Quality Manager and Group Operations Manager, you will support various functions related to audits, governance, investigations, recruitment, and compliance.

• Collaborative Culture: Be part of a supportive work environment where your contributions are valued and recognised.

Requirements?

We also value loyalty, so we're looking for someone who has demonstrated staying power with individual employers too.
