• Managing, recruiting, developing, and training staff within appropriate legislative or NVQ frameworks and devising effective and well-run staff rotas
• Promoting best practice to ensure quality services are carried out by staff
• Ensuring effective support systems are in place and that we operate in a fully compliant way
• Supporting Local Service Manager in effectively managing the void process on any empty properties
