Now, we're bringing our award-winning care to Batley, and you could be the driving force behind our newest success story. We're more than a care company - we're a family. You'll have the support of a Head of Operations, National Quality Team, Area Care Manager, and a peer group of Registered Managers across the UK. We invest in your future with qualifications, leadership training, and real progression opportunities.

• Up to £40,000 per year
• A rare opportunity to launch and lead a brand-new branch
• Full autonomy to build your own team, culture, and reputation
• Permanent, stable leadership role with huge growth potential
• Constant support from our senior leadership and national network
• Clear path to career progression as we continue to expand

• Build the branch from scratch - recruit, develop, and inspire your own team of care professionals
• Hold CQC registration and ensure compliance from day one
• Create strong relationships with customers, families, and local partners
• Drive growth in care hours and establish a trusted local reputation
• Take full ownership of commercial performance, quality, and operational excellence
