Regional Manager – Health & Social Care (Greater Manchester & Lancashire)
Making sure you fit the guidelines as an applicant for this role is essential, please read the below carefully.
An established and values-driven care provider is seeking an experienced Regional Manager to oversee a portfolio of care homes across Greater Manchester and Lancashire. This is a hands-on leadership role, ideal for someone who thrives on making a tangible difference — supporting, developing, and empowering home managers to deliver outstanding care and operational excellence.
The Role
As Regional Manager, you will:
* Provide strategic and operational oversight for up to eight homes, ensuring high standards of care, occupancy, and compliance.
* Work closely with a peripatetic manager who provides hands-on support to the homes as needed.
* Use sound judgment to identify, interpret, and mitigate risk — keeping a steady head without overcomplicating or overreacting.
* Support, coach, and challenge registered managers to achieve their full potential — leading with confidence, fairness, and integrity.
* Uphold and champion the organisation’s values, embedding a positive culture and person-centred ethos across your region.
* Drive commercial performance, with active involvement in budgeting, P&L management, and negotiations with commissioners (ICB and Local Authority).
* Contribute to service development as the organisation diversifies beyond elderly residential and nursing care, ideally bringing experience in complex care, mental health, or learning disabilities.
About You
We’re looking for a do-er — someone proactive, confident, and solutions-focused. You’ll be:
* Experienced in multi-site management within health or social care.
* Skilled at interpreting and managing risk strategically.
* A strong, values-led leader who can motivate, support, and challenge constructively.
* Commercially astute, with a track record of managing budgets and occupancy.
* Capable of balancing operational demands with a calm, strategic approach.
Why Join Us?
You’ll join a stable, well-respected organisation that truly values its people. You’ll have the autonomy to make decisions, the backing of a supportive senior team, and the opportunity to influence meaningful change as the organisation grows and diversifies.
