The Role:

As the CQC Registrered Manager you will be accountable for for everything that happens that happens in the home, including:

* Make sure four people with complex needs live the lives they choose: person-centred support plans, positive risk-taking, least restrictive practice, real choice and control.

* Act as safeguarding lead, and apply the Mental Capacity Act and DoLS confidently and correctly.

* Keep the service inspection-ready every day — audits, observations of practice, incident analysis, statutory notifications and an improvement plan that actually gets worked through.

* Oversee the activity programme and safe, enjoyable use of the hydrotherapy pool.

* Be the home’s point of contact for Hertfordshire County Council, social workers, health professionals, families and advocates.

* Take responsibility for medicines management, health and safety, fire safety, infection control and the premises.
