Registered Manager
About the company
Placr Recruitment is delighted to be recruiting for an experienced Registered Manager to join an established, award-winning independent domiciliary care provider in Hove.
The service currently supports approximately 75 clients, delivering 760 hours of care each week, with a team of around 40 employees across office and field-based positions.
Your tasks
This is an excellent opportunity for a confident and compassionate care professional to take responsibility for an established homecare service, leading a dedicated team while ensuring the highest standards of care, compliance and operational performance.
Initially, you will oversee the existing Hove service during a period of maternity cover. However, this is a permanent opportunity, with the potential to continue managing the established service or take responsibility for a planned new branch as the organisation develops.
- Take overall responsibility for the day-to-day management and operational performance of the domiciliary care service.
- Ensure full compliance with CQC regulations, safeguarding procedures and relevant care standards.
- Lead, motivate and develop a team of CareGivers and office-based staff.
- Oversee care planning, risk assessments, quality assurance and service delivery.
- Ensure clients receive safe, responsive and person-centred care.
- Manage staff recruitment, induction, supervision, performance and ongoing development.
- Maintain strong relationships with clients, families, healthcare professionals and external agencies.
- Respond effectively to incidents, complaints, safeguarding concerns and changing care needs.
- Monitor service performance and identify opportunities for continuous improvement.
- Work closely with the Managing Director to support operational objectives and future service development.

- A genuine commitment to delivering compassionate, person-centred care.

A Registered Nurse qualification with current NMC registration would be highly desirable, particularly where combined with domiciliary care leadership experience, but is not essential.
What we offer
What's on Offer?
- Salary of £40,000–£45,000 per annum, depending on experience.
- Full-time, permanent employment.
