Major Social Care is looking for an experienced and motivated Registered Manager who is also a Registered General Nurse (RGN) to lead the development and delivery of our regulated care services for children, young people and adults.

The Registered Manager will hold day-to-day responsibility for the safe, effective and compliant delivery of regulated services and will work closely with the Director and Nominated Individual, Strategic Lead and wider leadership team to ensure that quality, safeguarding, clinical governance and regulatory compliance remain central to service delivery and growth.

As a Registered Nurse, you will also provide clinical leadership and oversight for people with more complex health and care needs, supporting the organisation's ability to safely deliver both Personal Care and, within its registered scope, Treatment of Disease, Disorder or Injury (TDDI).

The service will support both adults and children within their own homes and community settings, including individuals with complex and specialist care needs.
