As Registered Manager, you will play a pivotal role in driving forward changes to maintain accreditation and deliver continuous improvement. You will be responsible for ensuring that the direct care and support provided is safe, effective, responsive, caring, well led and compliant. A major part of the role is ensuring that resources are used in a planned way to maintain an efficient and cost‑effective service, taking account of changing needs and resource availability, while supporting care staff to work in accordance with individual care and service plans. You will collaborate with people using the service, carers and health colleagues to deliver the best outcomes for people.

A key part of your role will involve ensuring services are person‑centred and that staff support people to meet their personal outcomes. The service is delivered on a 24/7 basis, so you may be required to work a variety of shifts and be part of an out‑of‑hours on‑call service for the wider provider services.
