Quality Assurance / Compliance Lead

Company: company name
Apply for the Quality Assurance / Compliance Lead
Location: Leatherhead
Job Description:

Help turn “Compliance” into “Outstanding Care”. The mission is simple: supporting people with learning disabilities to lead independent, meaningful, and fulfilling lives. 

But “meaningful lives” of course requires a foundation of safety, high standards, and rigorous quality.

This is a pivotal role leading Quality Assurance and Compliance where your expertise in CQC standards and safeguarding will directly improve the lives of residents.

Based on site at a beautiful location in rural Bookham, near Leatherhead, Surrey. This role can be full or part time. The full time salary is up to £40k, depending on experience.

Because the setting is supported living, someone with experience in both care provision and social housing (NHF) would be a huge advantage.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Being the guardian of the centre standards and the driver of continuous improvement.
  • Monitoring compliance with CQC and National Housing Federation frameworks.
  • Acting as joint Safeguarding Lead and Caldicott Guardian, you’ll promote a positive approach to risk that balances safety with independence.
  • You won't just find skills gaps; you’ll help close them, by auditing training records and back-office functions, and organising in person and online training sessions.
  • Ensuring policies are legally airtight and reflective of the latest sector guidance, reporting your findings directly to the Senior Leadership Team and Trustees.

What We’re Looking For

  • You should be a 'people person' who also loves a process. 
  • Deep knowledge of adult social care, ideally within learning disability services.
  • Ideally experience working within the Housing Federation framework
  • A firm grasp of CQC regulations and safeguarding frameworks.
  • Confidence with Microsoft software and digital care management systems, ideally e-learning software too.
  • You’re a great communicator who builds supportive relationships rather than just “policing”
  • A positive, problem-solving attitude and the proactive approach to drive change.

You’ll join a friendly, values-led organisation where your work is visible and your voice is heard. You will be part of a team that is incredibly passionate about the work they do. Interested? Apply today!
