COVID-19 vaccination of people working in care homes: our role

The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) have amended regulations so that, from 11 November 2021, anyone working or volunteering in a care home will need to be fully vaccinated against coronavirus (COVID-19), unless exempt.

The requirement forms part of the fundamental standards below which care should never fall. It will be monitored and - in appropriate cases - enforced by us.

We will not begin monitoring this until it becomes a duty in November. We will continue to use our existing assessment and enforcement policies and take a proportionate approach.

We've published a statement setting our our role during the registration and ongoing monitoring and inspection of services, and during any enforcement activity.

Help us transform CQC

Digital transformation lies at the heart of CQC's new strategy to help change the way we regulate health and social care in England.

We are growing fast and looking for people who want to work in an ambitious and mission-driven organisation. We want to build our digital, data and technology skills to help truly transform CQC and how we work.

For us to meet our ambitions, we need people who will:

  • Work openly and collaborate with colleagues, peers, Government and the wider health and social care sector
  • Work boldly in making change happen in CQC
  • Embrace diversity and foster an environment for all people to do their best work

We encourage an open, inclusive and collaborative environment so that people can do their work better.

We're looking for digital professionals with a range of experiences. People who care deeply about supporting great teams as part of a culture that supports each other to achieve their best.
