• In-depth understanding of CQC regulations and frameworks.
• A background in managing inspections, audits, and service improvements.
• Excellent communication, influencing, and coaching skills.
• Ability to analyse data and present insights to both clinical and operational teams.
• Willingness to travel regularly.
• Registered Nurse (NMC) or Social Work qualification.
• Experience working in a multi-site environment.
• Previous exposure to turnaround or improvement roles.
