• Help prepare for internal reviews, commissioner visits, external audits, and regulatory inspections.
• Monitor key performance indicators and contribute to quality and governance reports for senior management.
• Champion a positive culture of learning, transparency, accountability, and continuous improvement.
• Maintain confidentiality and comply with data protection, information governance, and health and safety requirements.

Experience and skills required:

• Experience in quality assurance, compliance, governance, auditing, or service improvement within health and social care.
• Knowledge of relevant UK health and social care regulations, quality standards, and best practice guidance.
• Understanding of care planning, safeguarding, medication management, incident reporting, and risk management.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to produce clear, accurate reports.
• Strong attention to detail, plus the confidence to analyse information, spot themes, and assess evidence objectively.
• Ability to manage a varied workload, meet deadlines, and work independently and as part of a team.
• Confident using Microsoft Office and electronic care management or quality management systems.
• Professional, approachable, and able to provide constructive challenge at all levels.
• Commitment to person-centred care, dignity, independence, and positive outcomes.

Desirable:
