As well as the general responsibilities for the role, the successful candidate will havethe freedom to build a service your way, with direct access to senior leadership. A performance bonus of up to £3,000, linked to quality, regulatory compliance, successful mobilisation, workforce stability and agreed organisational KPIs will be available.
