Summary

The Quality & Compliance Coordinator is a vital role focused on ensuring that all services meet the highest standards of quality, safety, and regulatory compliance. The post holder will be an integral member of the Quality Team, providing dedicated administrative, coordination and auditing support to the Quality Business Partners and Health & Safety Business Partner. This role is key to embedding a culture of continuous improvement, managing essential data and documentation, and ensuring all practices align with regulatory frameworks such as the Care Quality Commission (CQC) Fundamental Standards.

As this is a new position, the first six months would be spent working with the Director of Quality and the team, to structure the key areas of focus in supporting the team and the wider organisational objectives related to quality. This will include induction on all relevant company systems and getting to know both the quality team and the wider operational team. You will be bringing ideas to support effectiveness and ensuring that all information is collected and collated to support the work of the team and the wider organisation.

This can be a hybrid position based both at home and at the organisational head office just outside Newark with a split of 2 days at home and 3 days at the office or it can be a full-time office role.

This role will suit someone with some experience in supported living who wants to move their career in a different direction and who has good office skills or someone who is currently working in another position within social care.

If you are interested and have experience in the delivery of social care within supported living, there may be a route over time, to a Quality Business Partner role - this is not guaranteed and would be subject to meeting the key requirements of that role and a vacancy being available.
