Quality Lead - Midlands & Yorkshire

Job description

Job responsibilities

Are you looking for a role where you can lead on quality, compliance and improvement across our Midlands & Yorkshire hospital and care home services? If so, join Elysium Healthcare as a Quality Lead and feel supported and valued as you help drive meaningful change across our hospitals and care homes.

Working closely with Hospital Directors, Registered Managers and the wider regional management team, you will lead the quality and assurance agenda, ensuring services are meeting regulatory standards, achieving contractual outcomes, and continually improving care for the people we support.

You’ll play a key role in embedding a culture of continuous improvement, supporting staff engagement and implementing corporate, regional and local quality initiatives that make a difference. 

This role involves regular travel to various sites across Yorkshire and the Midlands, inclusive of Keighley, Newark and occasional travel to Leek. A full UK driving licence and access to your own vehicle are therefore essential to facilitate site visits 4 days per week.

As the Quality Lead, you will:

• Provide clear communication, direction and support to drive service excellence across sites.
• Collaborate with internal teams and external partners (including NHS, ICBs, and Local Authorities) to meet and exceed contract and compliance standards.
• Oversee governance processes, promote a culture of continuous improvement, and share learning across services.
• Lead on external regulatory compliance, guiding services through inspections and embedding sustainable quality improvements.
• Produce and interpret performance reports, thematic reviews and action plans that inform change and demonstrate impact.
• Support and inspire colleagues, fostering engagement and a shared commitment to high-quality, person-centred care.
• Be able to attend sites across the region as required

We are looking for someone who is:

• Experienced in healthcare quality and compliance, ideally within mental health, learning disability, social care, or hospital settings.
• A confident communicator and leader who can inspire others and influence at all levels.
• Skilled in interpreting and applying regulatory frameworks (CQC, contracts, internal standards).
• Analytical and able to turn data and insight into meaningful action.
• In possession of a full UK driving licence, and have access to a vehicle, due to the regular travel required across the region (from Bury St. Edmunds to Yorkshire).

What you will get in return:

• A Competitive Annual Salary
• The equivalent of 33 days annual leave (inc Bank Holidays) – plus your birthday off!
• Free meals and parking when based at most sites
• Wellbeing support and activities to help you maintain a great work-life balance.
• Career development and training to help you achieve your career goals.
• Pension contribution to secure your future.
• Life Assurance for added peace of mind.
• Enhanced Maternity Package so you can truly enjoy this special time.

There are also a range of other benefits including retail discounts and special offers and much more.

You will be working for an established, stable and agile company with over 8,000 employees and a unique approach to the delivery of care. With a network of over 90 services across England and Wales covering Mental Health, Neurological, Learning Disabilities & Autism, Children & Education, there is opportunity for you to grow and move.
