Extra Care Scheme Manager – Lead a Cluster of Outstanding Schemes Location: Winchester, Hampshire Salary: £32,320 – £37,420 per annum (DOE) Contract: Permanent | Full-time | On-site Are you a care leader ready to take full ownership of a thriving local cluster of Extra Care services? We’re working exclusively on behalf of a respected care provider to recruit a dynamic Extra Care Scheme Manager in Winchester — a role that blends service leadership, people management, and operational growth across three well-established Extra Care schemes. This is more than a job — it’s your chance to lead with autonomy, make a measurable impact, and shape the quality of life for dozens of older adults who call these schemes home. About the Role You’ll oversee three purpose-built Extra Care settings in Winchester: Apartment flagship scheme delivered in partnership with Winchester City Council, with beautiful communal spaces and a housing-led model. A CQC-registered, high-performing Extra Care site rated Good. Flat scheme supporting independence and dignity, backed by a dedicated on-site care team. Each site supports older adults in self-contained apartments with on-site 24/7 care. You’ll lead a combined team of 25–35 care staff and team leaders, with full responsibility for rotas, care delivery, audits, compliance, staff supervision, and stakeholder engagement. You’ll report to a Regional Manager but enjoy true day-to-day autonomy — this is your service to shape and grow. What We’re Looking For We’re seeking a hands-on, organised, and inspiring leader who: Has proven experience in managing regulated care (e.g. Extra Care, Supported Living, or Domiciliary). Understands CQC compliance, safeguarding, audits, and quality frameworks. Is confident managing teams across multiple sites or service types. Can liaise effectively with local authority housing teams, commissioners, and families. Thrives in a role where care quality, operational leadership, and commercial performance are equally valued. Is passionate about empowering staff and delivering truly person-centred care. Lives within a realistic commuting distance of Winchester. Why This Role Stands Out ✅ Three-scheme leadership — take ownership of a local cluster and build your legacy. ✅ No travel rounds — residents live on-site and your teams are always present. ✅ Strong support network — backed by a national provider with a regional management infrastructure. ✅ Clear targets — 10% annual growth goal, excellent compliance expectations, and the freedom to get results your way. ✅ Purpose-built settings — including council-led housing partnerships and CQC-registered excellence. ✅ Opportunities to progress — regional and national opportunities available for ambitious managers. You’ll be joining a provider that believes in people-led leadership — empowering managers, investing in training, and giving them the tools to run services like they’re their own. Your Responsibilities Will Include: Leading care delivery across three Extra Care sites Supervising care teams, planning rotas, handling appraisals and team meetings Maintaining compliance with CQC, safeguarding, health and safety, and internal QA Liaising with housing partners, social workers, GPs, and families Growing the service in line with 10% per annum expectations Managing budgets, reporting on KPIs, and ensuring high service occupancy Supporting internal recruitment and staff retention efforts Promoting dignity, inclusion, and excellence in care at every level About LET Recruitment LET Recruitment is proud to serve the care sector with executive search services.
