REGISTERED MANAGER — DOMICILIARY CARE | GREATER MANCHESTER (Tameside / Stockport area)
You've managed the chaos. Now manage something worth it.
Running a domiciliary care service isn't glamorous. It's early calls, staffing gaps, commissioner meetings, and a CQC framework that doesn't forgive complacency. Most managers who've done it properly know exactly what they're worth and exactly what they're not willing to put up with anymore.
This is for one of those managers.
An established domiciliary care service in the Greater Manchester area is looking for a Registered Manager. The service is running. The team is in place. What it needs is experienced, grounded leadership from someone who's already earned their stripes and who wants a role with real autonomy, real backing, and a salary that reflects both.
What the role actually looks like
You'll oversee daily homecare operations across a defined patch, manage a commissioned care contract and its performance obligations, and lead a team that needs direction, not micromanagement. CQC compliance, budget ownership, commissioner relationships, and service quality are all yours. That's the job, and it's a proper one.
The non-negotiables
Registered Manager experience in domiciliary care
Proven track record with commissioned / local authority homecare contracts
Confidence managing care packages at volume across a wide geographic area
NVQ/SVQ Level 5 in Leadership & Management (or working towards)
Sound knowledge of CQC standards in a domiciliary setting
Full driving licence and your own vehicle
What's on offer
Salary to £65,000 depending on experience
Performance bonus
25 days holiday + bank holidays + your birthday off
Buy/sell holiday scheme
Pension and Employee Assistance Programme
If you've done this before and you're looking for an employer who'll get out of your way and let you lead, while actually supporting you when it matters, this is worth a conversation.
Apply in confidence with a CV or give us a call.

Registered Manager (RGN or RMN) - Nursing and Dementia Care Coventry / Warwickshire · £60,000–£70,000 + bonus
Most management jobs hand you a problem to fix. This one hands you something rarer: a settled, well-run home with a loyal team and a genuinely good local name, and the freedom to make it even better.
It's a mid-sized, purpose-built home delivering nursing and dementia care, sat within easy reach of the M6, M69 and M42. The kind of place where families know the staff by name and the staff actually stay. Your job isn't to turn it around. It's to protect what's already good, sharpen what could be sharper, and lead from the floor as much as the office.
You'll run the home with real independence, owning clinical quality, compliance, staffing and culture, backed by a quality team and senior leadership who trust experienced managers to actually manage. You keep your clinical voice in the building rather than parked at the office door.
The non-negotiables
Active NMC registration (RGN or RMN) with a current pin
A track record as a Registered / Clinical / Deputy / Acting Manager (3+ years in a leadership role)
Level 5 Diploma in Health & Social Care, or well on the way
A proper grip on CQC standards, and the evidence you've used them to lift a service rather than just survive an inspection
Confident with local authorities, families and multidisciplinary teams
The kind of leadership that makes good people want to stick around
What's on the table
£60,000–£70,000 + bonus, comfortably ahead of the local market
Autonomy that's real, not autonomy on a slide
Leadership and clinical development behind you
A home you'll be proud to put your name to
You'll need full, unrestricted right to work in the UK; sponsorship isn't available for this role.
Send your CV, even if it's not bang up to date, or call for a confidential, no-pressure conversation. Everything is handled in complete confidence.

Training Outcome:Why Apply?
No course tuition fees
Excellent pathway into Early Years teaching
Hands-on experience across nursery and school environments
Opportunity to build a rewarding career shaping young children’s futures
Employer Description:'It takes a village to raise a child’
A wonderful saying that beautifully captures how an entire community of people must interact with children for them to experience and grow in a safe and healthy environment.
After becoming a mum in 2013, our director, Helen, joined a generation of mothers juggling career and mum life. A careful balancing act which lead her to discover that, without the support of others, life was going to be a real struggle.
Since then her family has grown and she found the need to lean on the local community more and more, bringing her to where she is today – recreating new, a much loved community child care setting.
In October 2023 Jiminy Cricket, a 40 year old setting closed and the wonderful team who have helped care for so many local children were no longer there to support us. An increasingly common and sad situation for smaller independent settings these days.
So here we are, reinventing a much loved local setting for families. Creating an environment that aims to nurture and care for the children of the village in the way we were always meant to….and what a privilege that is.Working Hours :The Nursery is open Monday to Friday 8am to 6pm.
