Registered Manager – CQC Domiciliary Care
Location: Tunbridge Wells area, Kent / East Sussex Border
Salary: £37,420 - £41,580 per annum
Contract: Full-time | Permanent | Office-Based
Are you an experienced care leader ready to step into full operational control of a high-performing domiciliary care service?
We’re recruiting on behalf of a trusted provider to appoint a Registered Manager for their Tunbridge Wells area-based service, delivering personal care to adults living independently in their own homes. If you’re passionate about care quality, confident with audits and compliance, and commercially aware — this is a role with purpose, progression, and autonomy.
About the Service
The branch delivers regulated domiciliary care across the Tunbridge Wells & surrounding areas, supporting older adults and vulnerable individuals with day-to-day care needs. You’ll be leading:
A dispersed team of care workers
A coordination and compliance support team
Delivery of high-quality care packages commissioned by local authorities
As Registered Manager, you’ll be accountable for care quality, team performance, CQC compliance, and service growth — with support from a wider regional and national leadership team.
✅ What We’re Looking For
We’re seeking a proactive, knowledgeable manager who:
Has Registered Manager (or senior deputy) experience in a regulated care setting
Holds a Level 5 Diploma in Leadership for Health & Social Care
Understands the challenges of leading a community-based care service
Has experience managing rotas, audits, safeguarding, and commissioner relationships
Is confident leading a team while growing a service
Lives within a realistic commuting distance of Tunbridge Wells
Why This Role Stands Out
✅ CQC-registered leadership — legal accountability and local autonomy
✅ Established service — steady care delivery with room for further growth
✅ Regional and national support — HR, QA, Finance teams in place
✅ Clear growth pathway — expectation to grow service by 10% annually
✅ Excellent benefits — 25 days holiday, enhanced family leave, sick pay & more
✅ Development and progression — access to training, coaching, and promotions
You’ll be joining a well-supported leadership structure with the chance to make your mark locally, while building a stable, high-quality team.
Your Responsibilities Will Include:
Acting as CQC Registered Manager
Overseeing care delivery, rota performance, safeguarding, and incident resolution
Managing recruitment, supervision, appraisals, and training
Maintaining all documentation, care plans, and QA systems
Engaging with social workers, families, and local commissioners
Monitoring and reporting on KPIs (complaints, care hours, audit scores)
Driving annual growth and performance improvements
Ensuring team morale, retention, and service user satisfaction remain high
