Role Overview
An established care provider in the Manchester area is on the lookout for a Registered Manager who knows how to run a tight ship while keeping the people they support at the heart of everything. This service has a solid foundation and a loyal team already in place - what's needed now is a leader who can build on that, sharpen standards further, and take the service to the next level.
Day to Day
- Taking full accountability for the service's compliance, quality, and day-to-day operations.
- Coaching and developing the existing team, while building a strong pipeline of future talent through recruitment and training.
- Working closely with families, commissioners, and healthcare professionals to keep everyone aligned around the people you support.
- Reviewing and refining care plans so they stay genuinely person-centred, not just paperwork exercises.
- Running a solid internal audit and governance cycle, and reporting clearly to senior leadership.
- Leading on safeguarding matters and making sure the whole team understands their role in it.
- Keeping a close eye on budgets, occupancy/utilisation, and the commercial side of running the service.
- Sharing on-call cover with the rest of the leadership team.
