About You
You’ll be an experienced senior leader with a strong background in quality, compliance, or risk—ideally from healthcare, social care, or another regulated sector.
Key requirements:
* Degree-level education or equivalent experience in a relevant field (clinical registration helpful but not essential)

* Strong working knowledge of UK regulatory standards such as CQC
* Confident in managing risk frameworks, incident investigations, and continuous improvement processes
* Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
* A full UK driving licence and willingness to travel nationally
