• Regulatory Knowledge: Comprehensive and up-to-date knowledge of the Care Standards Act, CQC standards and regulations, HR legislation, and Health and Safety legislation within the care home sector.
• Team Management Expertise: A strong track record of successfully leading, motivating, and developing care teams.
• Quality & Compliance Focus: A thorough understanding of auditing processes and the principles of effective care planning.
• Problem-Solving Prowess: Demonstrated ability to identify challenges, develop effective solutions, and implement them successfully within a care home environment.
