Purpose of the Role

The Freelance Compliance Consultant provides independent, specialist support to health and social care providers to strengthen regulatory compliance and improve service quality. Working on a self‑employed basis, the consultant is sub‑contracted by Delphi Care Solutions to deliver mock CQC inspections, quality audits, and improvement-focused consultancy across a range of care settings.

This role is suited to experienced care professionals who want the flexibility of self-employment while contributing to meaningful improvements in care delivery.

Key Responsibilities

  • Carry out mock CQC inspections across all regulatory domains.
  • Review policies, procedures, care plans, and compliance documentation.
  • Observe care practice and interview staff, managers, and service users.
  • Produce clear, structured, evidence-based reports outlining findings and recommendations.
  • Support services to develop and implement action plans.
  • Provide expert guidance on regulatory expectations and best practice.
  • Maintain up-to-date knowledge of CQC frameworks and sector developments.
  • Manage your own workload, schedule, and administrative responsibilities as an independent consultant.
  • Represent Delphi Care Solutions professionally when working with clients.

  • High standard of written communication, with the ability to produce clear, accurate, and well‑structured reports.
  • Strong analytical and critical thinking skills, with the ability to interpret complex information and draw balanced conclusions.
  • Ability to work independently, manage time effectively, and prioritise workload across multiple assignments.
  • Professional judgement, objectivity, and the ability to deliver constructive feedback sensitively and effectively.

  • Choose which assignments to accept based on availability and interest.
  • Are engaged on a project-by-project basis with no guaranteed minimum hours.
