Job summary

Every role at CQC contributes to our mission. If you’re looking for a new role in Adult Social Care that gives a true sense of meaning and purpose, then you’ve found it!

As a Market Oversight Manager, you’ll help protect people in vulnerable circumstances by assessing the financial sustainability of major adult social care providers, ensuring continuity of care when it matters most.

Since 2015, our Market Oversight function has monitored the financial health of large social care providers that local authorities may find hard to replace.

• Prepare financial reports: Create quarterly sustainability packs for around 20-30 corporate providers in the Market Oversight scheme, combining financial and quality indicators.
• Assess risk: Analyse data and document risk decisions to support early warnings of potential provider failure.
• Engage with providers: Liaise with corporate care organisations, review statutory accounts, and gather market intelligence to identify new entrants.

Person specification

We’ll be looking for these skills and experiences in your application:

• Financial analysis expertise: A track record of achieving high standards in finance or banking, with substantial experience in financial analysis within management accounting, transaction services or restructuring environments.
• Sector and risk knowledge: Understanding of adult social care markets, business structures, and risks linked to provider failure, plus experience across restructuring solutions and insolvency procedures to make fair, proportionate decisions based on complex information.
• Stakeholder engagement: Skilled in managing relationships at all levels, including executive-level providers, with the ability to communicate clearly and confidently to deliver corporate objectives.
• Technology: Familiarity with using software applications to enhance analysis and a willingness to develop further skills in this area.

Benefits

• We offer a wide range of benefits, including:

  • Annual leave starting at 27 days per year, rising to 32.5 days with service, plus bank holidays (usually 8 days per year).
  • Training and development opportunities.
  • Wellbeing initiatives, such as gym discounts and meditation.
  • NHS pension scheme, with around 14% employer contribution.
