About You

The skills you will bring.
 
We really need you to have these:
  • A strong understanding of quality assurance and compliance in a service setting
  • Experience in conducting audits or service reviews
  • Ability to analyse and present data in meaningful ways
  • Confidence in coaching and supporting colleagues to improve practice
  • Excellent communication and organisational skills
  • An understanding of what drives quality and impact in services
  • Familiarity with performance frameworks, standards or compliance requirements
  • Experience of managing staff and supporting professional development
  • A collaborative and solutions-focused approach
Why?

We need you to bring these skills because our ambition is to deliver services that are consistently excellent, transparent and impactful. Your ability to lead on quality will give our teams the clarity, confidence and support they need to maintain high standards in every aspect of their work.

You will help us move beyond simply meeting targets- to understanding and evidencing what really makes a difference for the people we support. Your insight and expertise will help shape our culture of learning and continuous improvement, where quality is everyone’s responsibility and where we work together to deliver better outcomes.

We would love it if you also had these
 
- Knowledge of Supported Employment principles or similar person-centred approaches

Experience in learning and development would also support your role in equipping our staff to deliver quality services.
