• Training & Onboarding: Assisting with the onboarding, induction, and ongoing development of new staff. Shadowing new care workers in the field, identifying training needs, and supporting carers with performance improvement.
• CQC Compliance & Safeguarding: Monitoring and maintaining CQC compliance, ensuring regulatory standards are met. Supporting the Registered Manager in preparing for CQC inspections and internal audits. Responding to concerns, incidents, and safeguarding matters.
• Rota Strategy & Operations: Working collaboratively with Care Coordinators to support the planning of realistic, effective care worker rotas. Participating in the on‑call rota as required.
• Multi‑Disciplinary Collaboration: Participating actively in multi‑disciplinary reviews. Liaising and building positive relationships with service users, families, internal teams, and healthcare professionals.
