Quality Support Manager (Nurse Qualified)
£55,000–£57,000 + Regional Travel
Chesterfield, Huddersfield & Sheffield
If you’re a nurse-qualified quality leader who knows what “Good” really looks like and how to achieve it, this regional role offers the autonomy to influence standards across multiple homes while working closely with an experienced Quality & Clinical Director.
This isn’t a desk-based governance post. You’ll be visible in homes, supporting Managers to strengthen compliance, embed best practice, and move services towards Good and Outstanding CQC ratings. The focus is improvement through collaboration — not inspection for the sake of it.
