• A thorough understanding of safeguarding, care planning, risk management and quality assurance
• Experience leading and developing care and office teams
• The confidence to challenge poor practice and maintain high standards

• A proactive approach to audits, compliance and continuous improvement
• Strong communication skills and the ability to build relationships at all levels
• An understanding of the commercial realities of running a successful domiciliary care service
