Produce clear, detailed inspection reports highlighting:

Strengths and good practice.

Areas for improvement.

Recommendations and indicative ratings aligned to CQC standards.

Share findings with Operations and Quality teams to inform action planning.

Deliver feedback sessions following each inspection.

Remain up to date with CQC regulations, guidance, and best practice.

Requirements

Recent experience as a CQC Inspector (within the last 2 years preferred).
Strong working knowledge of CQC frameworks and inspection methodology.
Excellent analytical, report-writing, and attention-to-detail skills.
Ability to communicate findings clearly, constructively, and professionally.
Willingness to travel across multiple regions.

Time Commitment

Approx. 4 days per inspection (preparation, on-site visit, reporting).
Additional 4 days per year for meetings.
Total commitment: approximately 28 days per year.
