This is a challenging role - particularly at a time when trading conditions are tough and the sector is undergoing change. Regional managers will currently be involved in ensuring that the revised EYFS and its implications for practice are fully understood by all teams across the group, and will be looking at how new training and CPD needs can be met in a cost-effective way. There will be pressure to look at economies of scale in order to ensure sustainability of the group. There are also a lot of policies to keep up to date with - including changes to the inspection framework, employment law and changes to the way in which local authorities are allocating funding under the free entitlement.
