Head of Care (Registered Manager)
Following the promotion of our current Registered Manager to an exciting new opportunity after ten successful years with Home Instead Down & Lisburn, we are looking for an exceptional leader to build on those strong foundations and lead the next chapter of our Home Instead team.
We believe that ageing should not mean giving up the life you love. Every day, our team helps older people and other adults remain independent, connected and happy in their own homes through care that is warm, thoughtful and relationship-led. We provide the quality care we’d want our own parents to have – always minimum visits of one hour, with Care Professionals matched to meet the client’s needs and able to help them live the fullest lives. Our team of carefully selected Care Professionals provides dementia support, home help, meal preparation, personal care, overnight care and live-in care.
This is a leadership role for someone who shares our values and wants to provide fantastic care.
What you'll be doing:
- Responsible for leading our established care team, ensuring outstanding care for our clients and maintaining the high standards expected of a regulated service.
- Work closely with the business owner and wider leadership team to:
- Lead and inspire a dedicated office and care team
- Ensure safe, high-quality, person-centred care
- Act as Registered Manager for the service
- Support clients and families through assessments and care planning
- Maintain excellent standards of compliance and governance
- Develop and support colleagues to grow and thrive
- Build positive relationships with healthcare professionals and community partners
- Help shape the future direction of the business
