Registered Manager - Care at Home
Registered Manager – Care at Home | Relocate to the Highlands | Aberdeen You've built your career in care at home and you're good at it. But if you're being honest, the question isn't whether you can do the job. It's whether where you're doing it still feels right. If Aberdeen has started to feel like the ceiling rather than the opportunity, this might be worth reading. A well-established care at home service in the Scottish Highlands is looking for a Registered Manager to lead, stabilise and grow a rural operation delivering around 700 hours of care per week, with a clear plan to reach 1,000. The service is based around 14 miles north of Inverness. That's roughly two hours from Aberdeen. Not commutable daily, but for the right person, very much relocatable, and the employer is serious about making that transition work. Open conversations around housing support and temporary accommodation are part of the package, not an afterthought. The Highlands aren't for everyone. But for care at home managers who want space to actually lead, without the noise, the volume pressures and the conveyor belt of a central belt operation, it tends to feel exactly right. This is what the role actually involves. A team of 26 care practitioners, a Care Coordinator and Team Leads already in place. Lone worker oversight across a wide rural geography. Care plans that need to stay live and reflect real lives. Commissioner relationships with NHS Highland that are already established and worth protecting. And a rota that, like every care at home rota, does not stay still. The service is operational and functioning. What it needs is the right registered leader to take ownership of it, grow it sustainably and build the kind of stability that earns further investment. Who you'd be working with. The Operations Manager above you has spent her career at the sharp end of care at home, former Operations Director for one of the Highlands' largest providers, and well-connected across the sector in Scotland. She knows what good looks like and she knows what support actually means in practice. Day-to-day operational decisions are yours. Budget sign-off sits higher in the business, which is worth knowing upfront. But the expectation is clear, you run the service, and you're trusted to do it. Standards matter here. The team are looked after genuinely. And the benchmark for success is simple: build something stable enough that nobody above you is worried when they step away. By the end of year one, success looks like steady growth toward 1,000 hours, a retained and well-supervised team, a strong inspection outcome, and a commissioner relationship built on reliability. For the right person, longer-term growth beyond this branch is a realistic conversation, but it starts here. What will help you succeed: Several years working within care at home services, not just social care more broadly Registered Manager experience or a clear, credible route to registration Confidence with compliance, inspection standards and stakeholder relationships A full UK driving licence Qualifications being sought: SCQF Level 9 in a health, social work or related field Leadership and Management at SCQF Level 10 (or a committed plan to complete it) SVQ Level 4 in Health and Social Care or readiness to move quickly toward it A competitive salary is on offer, aligned to experience. Relocation support is available. Sponsorship may be considered for the right background. If you're based in or around Aberdeen and the Highlands has been something you've thought about, even loosely, this is probably worth a conversation before you talk yourself out of it. Send your CV to Recruitment Panda. It doesn't need to be updated. Or get in touch directly and we'll take it from there. Recruitment Panda | Employers Who Care Recruitment Panda Ltd is acting as an Employment Agency in relation to this vacancy. We are committed to equal opportunities and welcome applications from all suitably qualified candidates regardless of race, sex, disability, religion, sexual orientation, or age.

Registered Manager - Care at Home
Registered Manager – Care at Home - Highlands You're good at this. You know it. The rota shifts at 6am and you've already got it covered. A carer calls in sick on a Friday, a care plan needs updating before the morning run, a commissioner is chasing a report. You handle it, because you always do. The question is whether the service you're doing it for deserves that. This one might. A well-established care at home service based around 14 miles north of Inverness is looking for a Registered Manager to take the reins and grow something worth growing. It's a live, operational service delivering around 700 hours of care per week across a wide rural geography, with a clear, realistic plan to grow sustainably beyond 1,000. A team of 26 care practitioners is in place, a Care Coordinator and Team Leads are alongside you, and the infrastructure to build properly is there. What the service needs is someone who brings more than a job title. Someone who understands that lone workers operating across remote Highland communities need more than a rota, they need a manager who sees them, supports them and sets the standard consistently. This is what a strong week in this role looks like. Care plans that reflect people's lives as they are today, not six months ago. Compliance that stands up to scrutiny and means something operationally. Supervision that staff actually benefit from rather than just tick off. Commissioner relationships built on reliability and honest communication. A service that grows because the quality earns it. The Highland setting is unique. The geography demands logistics thinking and independence of judgement. If you've managed care at home in a rural area before, you'll recognise it immediately. If you haven't, the relocation support on offer, including open discussion around housing and temporary accommodation during your transition, makes the move more achievable than you might think. Sponsorship may also be available for the right candidate with strong care at home experience. Who you'll be working with and what that looks like in practice. The Operations Manager you'd report into has spent her career at the sharp end of care at home. Former Operations Director for one of the Highlands' largest providers, and someone who has grown the Dingwall branch herself since taking it on. She's not a figurehead, she's operationally fluent, well-connected with commissioners, and genuinely invested in the right person succeeding. That means real support. Not a check-in once a month and left to it. If there's a development area you want to build, clinical specialism, quality improvement, workforce strategy, there's appetite to back that properly, with protected time and resource. Decisions that sit within operational delivery are yours to make. Budget sign-off sits higher in the business, which is worth knowing upfront. But day-to-day, you run the service. The culture here is straightforward. Standards matter. The team are treated well, genuinely, not just on paper. And the expectation is that you build something stable enough that the people above you aren't worried when they're not in the office. That's the benchmark. By the end of year one, success looks like this: care hours growing steadily toward 1,000, a team that's properly supervised and retained, an inspection outcome that reflects the quality of the work, and a commissioner relationship built on consistency. Growth beyond the single branch is a realistic longer-term conversation for the right person, but that starts with making this one the service it should be. What will help you succeed: Several years working within care at home services — not just social care more broadly Registered Manager experience or a clear, credible route to registration Confidence managing compliance, inspections and stakeholder relationships A full UK driving licence Qualifications being sought: SCQF Level 9 in a health, social work or related field Leadership and Management at SCQF Level 10 (or a committed plan to complete it) SVQ Level 4 in Health and Social Care — or readiness to move quickly toward it A competitive salary is on offer, aligned to experience. If your background is rooted in care at home and the Highlands feels like somewhere you could build a career, not just fill a vacancy, send your CV across. It doesn't need to be updated. A conversation costs nothing. Or call Tim directly. He's the Principal Consultant working closely with this employer. Employers Who Care Recruitment Panda Ltd is acting as an Employment Agency in relation to this vacancy. We are committed to equal opportunities and welcome applications from all suitably qualified candidates regardless of race, sex, disability, religion, sexual orientation, or age.
