What you’ll do

• Take full operational responsibility for an assigned service when a manager is absent because of a vacancy, leave or sickness.
• Where required, act as Registered Manager with CQC or Ofsted and fulfil the complete duties of the role.

• Ensure services are safe, well‑coordinated, person‑centred, compliant and responsive to the needs of the people we support.
• Maintain strong governance, safeguarding practice, quality assurance and regulatory compliance, using audits and clear improvement plans to raise standards.
• Meet contractual and statutory requirements and manage designated cost‑centre income, expenditure, project finances and service‑user finances in line with procedures and regulations.
• Lead on specific organisational projects, support business growth and oversee the implementation of new services.
