What’s in it for you?

This is an opportunity to join a well-established, quality-focused elderly care provider, driving meaningful clinical improvement across a diverse regional portfolio.

This is a hands-on, peripatetic clinical governance role — not a desk-based compliance position. You will coach, challenge, and support nursing and management teams to embed sustainable improvement and positively influence CQC outcomes.

• £50,000 base salary (up to £52,000 for the right nursing profile)

• £600 per month car allowance

• Significant autonomy within a supportive governance structure

• Direct influence on inspection readiness and quality ratings

• Involvement in wider nursing strategy and organisational development projects

The Role

As Quality Support Manager, you will provide clinical oversight and governance support across a geographically dispersed region.

You will work closely with Home Managers, Regional Managers, and nursing teams to identify root causes, implement robust action plans, and strengthen clinical standards.

Key Responsibilities:

• Conducting in-depth clinical audits and quality assessments

• Providing clinical supervision and strengthening nurse competency

• Preparing homes for CQC inspections and liaising confidently with inspectors

• Identifying gaps across clinical practice, leadership, and culture

• Supporting infection control, housekeeping, and nutrition standards

• Analysing data to track trends and monitor improvement

• Coaching Home Managers to drive ownership of quality standards

• Contributing to the development of quality tools and a wider nursing strategy

• Supporting services requiring improvement while maintaining regional oversight

Working Pattern

• 4 days per week visiting homes

• 1 day per week working remotely on reporting, preparation, and project work

• Regional travel required, with round trips typically between 35–70 miles

What You’ll Need

Essential:

• Active NMC PIN (RGN)

• Strong elderly care clinical background

• Experience as a peripatetic or regional support manager

• Experience operating within a wider quality/governance team

• Strong understanding of CQC regulations and inspection frameworks

• Ability to quickly assess and prioritise across multiple services

• Confident communicator with inspectors and external professionals

• Coaching-led leadership style

• Ability to manage pace, complexity, and significant travel

Desirable:
