- 🛡️ CQC Compliance & Safeguarding: Monitoring and maintaining CQC compliance, ensuring regulatory standards are met. Supporting the Registered Manager in preparing for CQC inspections and internal audits. Responding to concerns, incidents, and safeguarding matters.
- 🗓️ Rota Strategy & Operations: Working collaboratively with Care Coordinators to support the planning of realistic, effective care worker rotas. Participating in the on-call rota as required.
