CQC Registered Manager - Brighton

What You'll Be Doing

Stepping into this role, you'll take charge of the service's overall performance, culture and compliance. Day to day, this looks like:

• Setting the tone for the team — coaching, supervising and developing staff to consistently deliver excellent care.
  
• Owning CQC compliance from end to end, and pushing the service towards (or maintaining) a Good/Outstanding rating.
  
• Making sure every care/support plan reflects the person it's written for, not a template.
  
• Handling recruitment, onboarding, supervisions and staff appraisals.
  
• Running the audit and quality assurance cycle, with clear reporting up to senior management.
  
• Acting as the key point of contact for families, external professionals and local agencies.
  
• Embedding strong safeguarding practice and a culture where staff feel confident raising concerns.
  
• Sharing an on -call rota with the wider management team.
  

Requirements

You'll need:

• Solid experience as a CQC Registered Manager.
  
• A Level 5 Diploma in Health & Social Care.
  
• A genuinely strong grasp of CQC's regulatory framework, not just box -ticking familiarity.
  
• The people skills to lead a team and the organisation to keep a busy service running smoothly.
  
• A full UK driving licence would be an advantage.
  

It would also help if you've:

• Worked in residential care, supported living, or with learning disability/mental health services.
  
• Personally led a service through an inspection, or turned around its rating.
