Our recruitment work. Your employment decision.
CQC Regulation 7 sets fitness requirements for registered managers. Requirements depend on the role and service; a CV or screening result does not establish suitability by itself. You complete the final employment and suitability checks. CQC makes any registration decision.
We carry out the agreed consultancy work; your organisation retains its regulatory responsibilities.
