  • Head Office: Thame, Oxfordshire
  • Salary: £100,000 per annum
  • Car Allowance: £6,200

With the right support, anything is possible

We are looking for a collaborative and visible leader—ideally from within social care or a closely related sector—who has significant experience leading a Quality or Operations function across a large and diverse set of services. 

Through your engagement with regulators, networks, and professional bodies, you will bring external insight into the organisation and help us stay at the forefront of best practice in quality and compliance.

About us

We are Affinity Trust, a national charity with over 30 years' experience supporting children, young people, and adults with learning disabilities, autism, and other needs. 

With nearly 2,500 colleagues and services across England and Scotland, we are values-led, financially strong, and driven by a single purpose: supporting people to live their life, their way.

Why this role matters

This is a pivotal, high-impact role. As Director of Quality Improvement & Compliance, you will play a central part in shaping how we continuously raise the standard of support across Affinity Trust. 

You will lead our approach to quality, improvement and co-production — ensuring we have the systems, insights, and culture needed to deliver consistently excellent, person-centred support.

You will influence practice across our services by working in close partnership with operational leaders, providing the challenge, guidance, and support needed to embed sustainable improvements. 

You’ll also champion innovation—harnessing the potential of digital tools and outcomes measurement to improve how we understand, assess, and enhance the lives of the people we support.

Above all, your work will be vital in helping us live out our core belief: that with the right support, anything is possible. This role is key to Achieving More Together.

What you’ll bring

We're looking for:

  • A proven, senior leader from social care or a similar regulated sector.
  • Deep understanding of quality, compliance, and safeguarding in complex service environments.
  • Strategic acumen paired with empathy, collaboration, and a values-driven approach.
  • Passion for co-production, data-informed improvement, and empowering people to thrive.
  • Experience engaging with regulators (CQC/Care Inspectorate), driving innovation, and leading high-performing teams.

 Benefits

  • £100,000 salary + £6,200 car allowance
  • 30 days annual leave + bank holidays
  • Private healthcare, enhanced pension, life insurance, and Blue Light discounts
  • Hybrid flexibility, national influence, and deep local impact
