Job Description:
Our client, a provider of adult social care services, is looking to expand into the children's home sector. My client requires an experienced independent advisor to provide external oversight and validation.
As the external advisor, you will serve as a "benevolent critic" and critical friend to the organisation, reporting directly to the board. Your key responsibilities will include:
* Independently auditing and verifying the claims made by the internal advisor about progress against the Ofsted action plan.
* Providing an objective, external perspective on whether the identified deficiencies are being effectively addressed.
* Challenging any overly optimistic assessments and ensuring transparency with the board and Ofsted.
* Maintaining a direct reporting line to the board to preserve your independence.
We are seeking an individual with extensive experience in children's social care, ideally including prior involvement in Ofsted-registered settings. You must have a proven track record of providing credible, impartial oversight and the gravitas to command the confidence of both the organisation and the regulator.
Day rate of circa £450 - £500 a day - Outside IR35.
