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 service is a live, operational care‑at‑home unit delivering around 700 hours of care per week across a wide rural geography that is 14 miles north of Inverness. 26 care practitioners, a Care Coordinator and Team Leads report to you, and you have the infrastructure to grow sustainably beyond 1,000 hours.
Key Responsibilities
- Develop and maintain care plans that reflect people’s lives as they are today, not six months ago.
- Ensure compliance that stands up to scrutiny and is operationally meaningful.
- Provide supervision that staff actually benefit from, rather than just tick‑off.
- Build and maintain reliable, honest relationships with commissioners.
- Grow the service through quality excellence, targeting 1,000 hours by year‑end.
What Success Looks Like
- Care hours growing steadily toward 1,000.
- A team that is properly supervised and retained.
- An inspection outcome that reflects high quality of work.
- Consistent, positive relationships with commissioners.
Qualifications & Experience
- Several years working within care‑at‑home services, not just broadly social care.
- Registered Manager experience or a clear, credible route to registration.
- Confidence managing compliance, inspections and stakeholder relationships.
- Full UK driving licence.
Required Academic and Professional Credentials
- SCQF Level 9 in health, social work or a 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.
Benefits and Support
- Competitive salary aligned to experience.
- Relocation support, including housing and temporary accommodation discussions.
- Sponsorship may be available for candidates with strong care‑at‑home experience.
- Operational support from a senior Operations Manager who has grown a large Highlands provider.
