• 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.

• A track record of achieving and sustaining CQC compliance, including having been through inspection.
• Confident working knowledge of the 2014 Regulations, CQC’s assessment framework, Right support right care right culture, the Mental Capacity Act and DoLS.
• Writing strong enough that your support plans, investigations and audits stand up to external scrutiny.
• A full UK driving licence and access to a vehicle.
• The existing right to work in the UK — we cannot offer visa sponsorship for this post.
