A respected care provider in Brighton is seeking a confident, hands-on Registered Manager to take the reins of one of their CQC-registered services. This is a well-run, established service with a strong local reputation - the right person will be given real ownership of how it's led day to day, backed by a senior team that genuinely invests in its managers.
What You'll Be Doing
Stepping into this role, you'll take charge of the service's overall performance, culture, and compliance. Day to day, this looks like:
- Setting the tone for the team — coaching, supervising, and developing staff to consistently deliver excellent care.
- Owning CQC compliance from end to end, and pushing the service towards (or maintaining) a Good/Outstanding rating.
- Making sure every care/support plan reflects the person it's written for, not a template.
- Handling recruitment, onboarding, supervisions, and staff appraisals.
- Running the audit and quality assurance cycle, with clear reporting up to senior management.
- Acting as the key point of contact for families, external professionals, and local agencies.
- Embedding strong safeguarding practice and a culture where staff feel confident raising concerns.
- Sharing an on-call rota with the wider management team.
