Head of Group Quality, Compliance & ESG

Join Us as Our Head of Quality, Compliance & ESG – Shape the Future of Care

We’re looking for a dynamic leader who thrives on driving excellence, ensuring top-tier clinical quality, and shaping the future of compliance and ESG within our nursing home group. This isn’t just a job; it’s an opportunity to make a lasting impact while carving out a role that evolves with your vision and expertise.

Why This Role?

This is your chance to bring fresh thinking to quality, compliance, and sustainability. You’ll build on our strong foundation, enhancing existing systems while identifying areas for further development. No rigid job description here—you’ll have the scope to refine and shape your role.

What You’ll Be Doing

Quality & Compliance Leadership

• Strengthen and develop clinical quality assurance programs to drive excellence in patient care.
• Enhance existing processes and identify areas for continuous improvement.
• Ensure we meet (and exceed) all healthcare regulations through audits, reporting, and proactive strategies.

Risk & Safety Management

• Build on current risk assessment protocols to further protect residents and staff.
• Support and advance a culture of safety and continuous improvement.

ESG & Sustainability

• Further develop and drive initiatives that positively impact the environment, society, and governance.

Leadership & Influence

• Mentor and support the Leadership team, helping them build on their strengths in this area.
• Engage with internal and external stakeholders to drive awareness and collaboration.
• Represent our organisation in industry forums and professional associations.

Flexibility & Autonomy - This isn’t a role with a one-size-fits-all approach. As our Head of Quality, Compliance & ESG, you’ll have the ability to shape your own journey, set priorities, and establish initiatives that align with your expertise.
