About the Role

LDC Care Co are flying from strength-to-strength – and it’s not slowing down! With over 60 sites in the South of Kent, we are now expanding into Medway. This means that we are looking for an exceptional Registered Manager to head up this new venture and support us in creating a new patch. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone eager to take on the challenge of launching a new project, while also benefiting from the support of our experienced team of 15 Registered Managers in the East Kent region.

We currently have over 65 services in Kent, with 550 staff delivering around 21,000 hours of care every week.

We understand how important it is to make the right move when you’re looking for new career opportunities, and we want to help you to understand what the role looks like within LDC Care Co:

• You will be assigned to an operational ‘patch’, overseen by your designated Operations Manager, and will receive support and benefit from the experience of other Registered Managers within your direct team. You will share CQC registration to focus on achieving outstanding care quality standards as a team.
• You will oversee a small cluster of Supported Living services, within a small geographical location, giving you the chance to focus on providing amazing specialist levels of care and support.
• Across these locations you will manage the care and support for an average of 6 – 12 supported individuals, each with complex needs and requiring an average of approx. 1,000 hours of care per week. This may be delivered on the basis of 1:1, 2:1 or even 4:1 staffing! You will develop support approaches that work to break down barriers and integrate them into their local communities, increase their independence, and find ways to keep them safe – regardless of diagnosis or the challenges they face.
• You will have highly qualified staff teams within each of your services, line managing around 30 team members. You will provide an open and engaging environment to encourage the best possible support.
• You will also be assigned a Deputy Manager to help with managerial tasks such as staff support, roster planning, and care plan updates.
• You will have access to a spectrum of specialist resources within the organisation, including an in-house PBS Practitioner, Quality & Compliance Manager, a full HR and Recruitment Department, and the LDC Academy for all staff training and development needs.

Not only can LDC Care Co offer you a supportive forward-thinking workplace culture, filled with new and exciting opportunities, the following will be offered to you as standard:

• Competitive basic salary of up to £40,000
• £1,000 joining bonus, paid as soon as you pass your probation
• £100 enhancement for the weekends you’re on call, totalling around £1,200 a year
• Enhanced annual leave of 25 days + bank holidays
• A real and achievable uncapped bonus scheme, adding thousands to your earnings
• Blue Light Discount Card, providing hundreds of online benefits and cashback rewards
• Fully funded formal qualification enrolment opportunities
• Excellent career development pathways
• Company contribution pension option

Management experience within the Adult Health and Social Care Sector is an essential requirement for this role. The successful candidate will ideally be able to demonstrate experience in supporting complex individuals who have additional challenges, and an ability to promote a positive outcome-focused ethos within a service.

At LDC Care Co we pride ourselves on our value-based approach, so we are looking for individuals who are as passionate about providing exceptional levels of care and promoting independence as much as we are! Individuals who are caring, passionate, organised and fair would complement this role.
