What We’re Looking For

  • Experience as a Care Manager, Registered Manager, or senior leader in home care or live-in care

  • Deep knowledge of CQC standards, audits, safeguarding, and care governance

  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, able to support and challenge teams constructively

  • Confident working independently across multiple locations without day-to-day supervision

  • Able to assess, prioritise, and manage tasks across complex care settings

  • Strong attention to detail and ability to identify non-compliance and risk proactively

  • Passionate about delivering exceptional care and empowering care teams

  • Work with a respected, high-quality live-in care provider

  • Play a key role in shaping operational excellence and compliance

  • Supportive leadership team and values-driven culture
