Job Purpose
We are currently looking to appoint a Regional Quality Lead to work alongside our high-quality services in providing quality assurance and continuous improvement across the organisation. Reporting to the Head of Quality, you will provide leadership, coaching and support to operational teams in interpreting and implementing regulatory frameworks in a person-led manner. You will play a key role in delivering high-quality services and improving outcomes for the people we support through a culture of inclusion, learning, and excellence.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
The successful candidate will complete detailed, impartial and expert reviews of service quality through audits and quality assurance activities across a designated geographical area. You will work in partnership with the people we support and their families to assess and improve the quality of care provided.
Whilst this role is being advertised as a part-time role, at 24 hours per week over 3 days, there is scope for this to increase to a full-time role based on growing organisational need, and for the right candidate.
