We’re on a mission to empower people to live well, independently.
We’re a small, independent domiciliary and live-in care agency with a big heart and a reputation for doing things properly. We support a small number of lovely clients across West Kent with a mix of live-in and visiting care. Our CQC rating is Good, our staff are loyal, and our clients are at the centre of everything we do. We’re now looking for a Registered Manager to take the reins and steer us through the next chapter – with a steady hand, a sense of humour and a real passion for person-centred care
What’s the role?
You’ll be responsible for the day-to-day running of the service, including:
* Leading care co-ordination, compliance and quality assurance
* Managing and supporting a small but growing team of care staff
* Handling recruitment, assessments, care planning and reviews
* Working closely with the Care Co-ordinator (who’s brilliant but busy!)
* Staying on top of CQC standards and making sure we continue to deliver safe, compassionate care
* Taking part in the on-call roster
* Working closely as part of the senior leadership team to grow our service
What are we looking for?
* You must be an experienced senior or registered manager in domiciliary care
* A good working knowledge of CQC regulations and compliance is essential
* You’ll need your Level 5 in Health & Social Care or be working towards it
* You’ve got to be organised, confident and able to lead a team with warmth and common sense
* A full UK driving licence and access to a car is a must - we cover a fair patch
* Bonus points if you can make us laugh
* If you’re prepared to roll up your sleeves and get stuck in when needed
What do we offer?
* A salary that reflects your skills and experience (£35k - £40k)
* Discretionary bonus at Christmas and year-end
* A supportive, values-led environment with a hands-on Director who understands the job (because he’s been doing it!)
* Autonomy to develop the role and help shape the service as we grow
The interview process:
Our interview process involves 2 main stages:
* Initial contact with the Director.
* Formal interview with a panel of two.
Our average process takes around 3-4 weeks but we will always work around your availability. You will have the chance to speak to our team at various points during your process but if you do have any specific questions ahead of this please contact us on Care.VNLVK@nhs.net .
Fixed salary of £35,000 - £40,000 DOE per annum
Discretionary bonus scheme + benefits + pension at 9%.
