The position would particularly suit an experienced, nurse‑qualified operator with a track record in turnaround, troubleshooting or multi‑site improvement support.

The Opportunity

As Regional Support Manager, you will provide hands‑on operational leadership across a number of services, working closely with Home Managers and the Regional Operations Manager. You will play a key role in:

• Supporting services during periods of transition or heightened scrutiny
• Leading and monitoring improvement plans
• Strengthening compliance, governance and clinical quality
• Conducting site visits, audits and walk rounds
• Coaching and developing Home Managers and senior teams
• Supporting occupancy, staffing and commercial performance
• Assisting with onboarding, leadership gaps and service stability
• Promoting a culture rooted in accountability, compassion and continuous improvement

This is a varied and mobile role with genuine scope to influence outcomes across the region. Occasional evening, weekend and on‑call responsibilities may be required.

What We're Looking For

• Nurse‑qualified (NMC) with strong operational experience
• Background in care home management, regional support or quality leadership
• Strong working knowledge of CI/CQC standards
• Exposure to turnaround or service improvement
• Excellent communication, coaching and relationship‑building skills
• Confident analysing data and driving measured action
• Full UK driving licence
