Head Of Care Operations

Description:

REQUIREMENTS

• Experience as a Head of Operations or Regional Manager in learning disability or children’s residential services.
• A proven track record of achieving at least good ratings in CQC or Ofsted inspections.

Compass Associates are exclusively partnering with an established medium-sized care provider in the northwest which specialises in residential care for young adults and children with learning disabilities and behavioural difficulties. They are looking to recruit an Head of Care Operations to line manage and support Area Managers to improve outcomes for clients across their residential services – all of which are rated good or outstanding.

THE ROLE

As the Head of Care Operations, you will be responsible for the running of the organisation’s care services. Several Area Managers will all report directly to you, while you will report to the Operations Director. This role will involve visiting and supervising services while supporting Area Managers and balancing a more strategic leadership role within the company.

THE CANDIDATE

A background within residential services for young adults with learning disabilities or in Ofsted-registered children’s homes is essential. Applicants must also be commercially astute and understand what it takes to operate a portfolio of profitable care services, e.g. developing ties with local authorities and managing occupancy and agency use.

The ideal candidate should also have proven experience of delivering consistently high quality of service within the sector, and therefore you should have a track record of good or outstanding CQC or Ofsted ratings. The position requires somebody who has extensive knowledge of the care sector and is able to confidently work with a team of Area Managers to ensure great quality care to all service users.
