You must be confident in managing staff and services to ensure compliance with CQC regulations and Safeguarding frameworks, while fostering a culture of strong leadership, learning, and development.
If you are enthusiastic about empowering people, developing teams, and supporting residents to achieve independence, we’d love to hear from you. This is a fantastic opportunity to make a difference and help ensure Central Bedfordshire remains a great place to live and work.
