Registered Manager - Domiciliary Care in Whetstone

Whetstone, North London (N20) | £43,000 - £48,000 + quarterly bonus (up to £50k for the right person) | Permanent, full time | Monday to Friday, 9-5 | No weekend on-call

A supportive director. A team that works really well together. And real room to grow.

If you’re a domiciliary care manager who’s tired of firefighting on your own, this one’s worth a look.

This is a highly rated, owner-run, established home care service in North London. Their Registered Manager is relocating after 3 great years, so they’re looking for the next person to take the lead and grow the service with them, for the long term.

WHY THIS ONE’S DIFFERENT

• You’re properly supported. A hands-on, supportive director and a settled office team who work well together. You won’t be carrying the service on your own
• No weekend on-call. You’d only step in on weekday on-call if it’s really needed
• Mostly private clients. Around 75-80% private, the rest local authority and CHC. Less commissioner pressure, more focus on quality
• Room to grow, and grow with it. The owner is ambitious and plans to expand into new areas. If you want to build something, not just maintain it, this is the place

WHAT YOU’LL GET

• £43,000 - £48,000 depending on experience (up to £50k for an exceptional candidate)
• Quarterly KPI bonus of £750, up to £3,000 a year after probation
