- Proven leadership and people-management experience.
- A track record of maintaining and improving care quality.
- Experience managing occupancy, referrals, budgets and overall service performance.
- Confidence, sound judgement and the ability to make decisions.
- A genuine desire to improve and develop the service rather than simply maintain it.
