Helping Hands was built on kindness, and that principle continues to guide how we support our customers and our leaders. We’re opening a new domiciliary care branch in Lancaster, and we’re looking for an experienced Registered Care Manager to lead the service through registration and early growth.
This is a rare opportunity to shape a service from the ground up with the backing of established central teams, clear expectations, and realistic timescales.
About the branch
This is a newly opening service. As our Founding Registered Care Manager, you will:
- Lead the branch through registration with the Care Quality Commission (CQC)
- Build and develop your local team
- Grow the service at a sustainable pace, with quality and safety at the centre
You will not be expected to do everything alone. Recruitment, marketing and compliance are supported centrally, while you retain overall accountability as the Registered Manager.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
