  • Act as the CQC Registered Manager, ensuring full compliance with all legal and governance requirements.
  • Collaborate with consultants, clinical teams, and commercial partners to grow the service and enhance patient experience.
  • Lead on business development, consultant engagement, and new service opportunities aligned with Bupa's Connected Care strategy.
