You've managed the chaos. Now manage something worth it.
Running a domiciliary care service isn't glamorous. It's early calls, staffing gaps, commissioner meetings, and a CQC framework that doesn't forgive complacency. Most managers who've done it properly know exactly what they're worth and exactly what they're not willing to put up with anymore.
This is for one of those managers.
An established domiciliary care service in the Greater Manchester area is looking for a Registered Manager. The service is running. The team is in place. What it needs is experienced, grounded leadership from someone who's already earned their stripes and who wants a role with real autonomy, real backing, and a salary that reflects both.
What the role actually looks like
You'll oversee daily homecare operations across a defined patch, manage a commissioned care contract and its performance obligations, and lead a team that needs direction, not micromanagement. CQC compliance, budget ownership, commissioner relationships, and service quality are all yours. That's the job, and it's a proper one.
The non-negotiables
Registered Manager experience in domiciliary care
Proven track record with commissioned / local authority homecare contracts
Confidence managing care packages at volume across a wide geographic area
NVQ/SVQ Level 5 in Leadership & Management (or working towards)
