• Reviewing clinical practice, care planning, medicines management, infection prevention and governance processes.
• Identifying operational and clinical risks whilst implementing sustainable improvement plans.
• Supporting services through turnaround and improvement programmes where required.
• Monitoring compliance against CQC Fundamental Standards and internal governance frameworks.
• Producing detailed audit reports and presenting findings and recommendations to senior leadership.
• Building strong relationships with operational teams to create a positive culture of continuous improvement.
• Supporting wider organisational quality initiatives as the business continues to grow.
