One in six people in the UK will have a disability in their lifetime and we want to make sure they have the opportunity to live their lives to their full potential.

We are the UK’s largest voluntary sector provider of services for disabled people and this year will directly support over 7,000 disabled people in the UK. Our services include high-quality care and community support together with innovative projects supporting disabled people into education, employment and entrepreneurship.  In 2017 we launched our new strategy to radically improve the life choices of people with disabilities, articulating our aim to support journeys towards independence.

In this role you will provide operational support on service improvement and development for any of our services experiencing, or at risk of, significant regulatory non-compliance.  This work will ensure that all our customers, rightly, receive the best care and support, enabling us to operate as ‘best in class.’   At times you will support local operational managers to achieve sustainable service improvements, full regulatory compliance and an outcome-focused service for our customers.  At other times you will directly manage services in crisis and support the development of the local team.

In this role you will also support Registered Managers in managing their relationship with regulators and other external agencies and you will undertake audits and inspections of our services. 

You will bring significant management experience in the health or social care sector, have demonstrable experience of supporting services to improve and have a good knowledge of current health and social care legislation, policy and practice. 

We are seeking some members of this Improvement Team to be non-clinical and some to be clinical.  The clinical members will be required to hold and maintain a relevant nursing registration and their role will also include supporting the development of effective clinical practice and acting as a key resource for clinical competency assessments and performance monitoring. 

We are seeking applicants based in one of the 3 geographical areas – North, Central and South England, and you must be willing to travel around the geographical area and stay away from home.

If you are conversant with national regulatory standards and expectations within health and social care, have a motivational and inspirational leadership style and are an effective communicator across varying audiences both written and verbal, this is an exciting opportunity for you to make a tangible difference to the lives of disabled people if you share the values and ethos of Leonard Cheshire Disability.

A satisfactory disclosure check is required for this post

Leonard Cheshire Disability welcomes applications from all sections of the community.
