Alternatively, to provide defined operational support management to existing site leadership where additional support may be required to drive quality, business development and financial viability in both existing provisions and new services. This role is a regional/national role therefore there will be extensive travel throughout Priory Adult Care's North Region, including North East, North West, Scotland & Northern Ireland.

Job Advert Role Description

Key Responsibilities:

• Ensure the service meets all legal and statutory requirements including (but not limited to) those related to fire regulations, health and safety at work, licensing, trading standards, employment, Care Standards Act and relevant country legislation and that all appropriate statutory notices are displayed.
• Ensure that the relevant regulatory and commissioning bodies’ standards are achieved and that all staff are trained to understand and operate at this level.
• Ensure that all service user documentation and records are maintained to a high standard in a timely manner, and that a programme of meaningful activities is available to all residents. Implement appropriate systems to ensure compliance with requirements.
• Develop and maintain effective working relationships with senior management, peers and functional colleagues throughout the company.
• Ensure sufficient and appropriate levels and mix of staff are recruited and rostered in accordance with service user requirements at all times. Ensure staff are inducted, trained, motivated and supported to achieve company standards and deliver the highest levels of care and customer service. 
• Lead the implementation of new services, drives referrals and admissions and share best practice with other sites and the wider team.
• Responsible for achieving the agreed budget by maximising income, managing staffing costs appropriately and controlling other costs and expenditure.

Key Skills and Requirements:

• A detailed knowledge of the regulatory and statutory requirements associated with social care is essential.
• Ability to work collaboratively as part of a matrix organisation and to deliver continuous improvement via coaching, mentoring and strong leadership skills.
• Demonstrable understanding of the key business activities associated with leading a care home, specialist service or supported living operation.
• Extensive travel and overnight stays will be required.  The role may require you to be based at a site full time for an undefined period, meaning staying away from home throughout the week is likely to be required.  While this may be within an allocated region, business need may dictate deployment to any site nationwide as required.  Post holders will therefore need to be flexible.

* We reserve the right to close this vacancy earlier than the published closing date, depending on volume of response, and therefore we recommend not delaying your application*
