About the Role
You will provide both strategic and operational leadership for the development, delivery, and ongoing improvement of Surrey County Council's Adult Social Care Supported Living and Mallow Crescent Short Breaks services, as well as any future in-house services for people with learning disabilities. You will be responsible for ensuring that these services are safe, person-centred, financially sustainable, and fully compliant with Care Quality Commission regulations.
