01 Registered
Manager

The role

Full responsibility. Real accountability.

This isn't a caretaking role. Whoever takes it on will build something — a service that runs safely, grows sensibly, and holds up under scrutiny from families, commissioners and the CQC alike.

You'll carry full responsibility for the day-to-day running of the service: the quality of care delivered, the compliance evidence behind it, and the operational discipline that keeps it all sustainable. Growth matters here — but never ahead of what the staffing can safely support.

Reporting is core to this job, not an afterthought. Regular, accurate KPI and capacity reports are expected — reports that flag risks before they become incidents, and opportunities before someone else spots them first.

What you'll own

Four things, done properly.

Leadership & culture

Visible, accountable leadership across care and office teams. A culture built on dignity, respect and honest communication — not policy binders.

CQC & governance

Named Registered Manager with the CQC. Permanent inspection readiness, timely statutory notifications, and audits that actually change practice.

KPI & capacity reporting

Regular reports to senior management covering hours, calls, staffing, incidents and satisfaction — with analysis, not just numbers.

Safeguarding & quality

Concerns recognised, recorded and escalated properly. A team that feels safe raising issues, and a quality programme that proves it.

What we need

Experience that's actually domiciliary.

Essential

Previous management or senior leadership experience in adult social care
Strong experience specifically within domiciliary or home care
Good knowledge of CQC regulations and the Fundamental Standards
Understanding of safeguarding, the Mental Capacity Act and medication management
Experience managing and developing care staff
Ability to turn operational data into meaningful reports

Desirable

Level 5 Diploma in Leadership and Management for Adult Care, or equivalent
Previous experience as a CQC Registered Manager
Experience growing a domiciliary care service
Experience working with local-authority commissioned care
