Optimum Healthcare is seeking an inspirational CQC Registered Manager with experience in Domiciliary care.
If you are driven by delivering exceptional care, passionate about empowering individuals to live independently at home, and ready to take on a role where your leadership truly matters, we would love to hear from you.
About Us
Optimum Healthcare covers Sheffield, Barnsley and Rotherham providing personalised, compassionate homecare to a diverse group of customers, including:
- Older adults
- People with learning disabilities, physical disabilities, or mental health needs
- Children and families (in some areas)
Our commitment is simple: the care we deliver must be good enough for our own families. We value every individual’s unique qualities and support each person as a whole — not as a list of care needs.
The Role
As our Registered Manager, you will provide strategic, forward-thinking leadership while remaining grounded in the practical, day-to-day running of the service. You will lead and motivate a dedicated team to deliver safe, person-centred, and empowering homecare that meets and exceeds CQC standards.
You will play a key role in shaping the growth of the service, working collaboratively with Directors and staff to continually improve quality, effectiveness, and customer experience.
Key Responsibilities
- Provide strong, inspirational leadership to staff, ensuring a positive, supportive working culture.
- Maintain full compliance with CQC regulations, internal policies, and all relevant legislation.
- Lead, motivate, and supervise the care team, promoting high standards of practice and performance.
- Oversee day-to-day operations, including scheduling, resource allocation, and safe service delivery.
- Conduct care assessments and work closely with families, professionals, and partner agencies.
- Promote customer dignity, independence, and rights at all times.
- Use effective governance to ensure the service remains safe, caring, responsive, effective, and well-led.
- Apply creative problem-solving and initiative to manage challenges within a busy service.
- Take responsibility for managing the service, including stepping into hands-on duties when needed.
- Recruit, develop, and support staff through training, supervision, and performance management.
About You
You are a calm, confident, and compassionate professional who can think clearly under pressure while keeping customer wellbeing at the heart of every decision. You thrive in a leadership role, bring strong organisational skills, and have the passion to deliver outstanding person-centred care.
Qualifications & Experience
- Experience in a senior care role (Senior Carer, Team Leader, Deputy Manager, etc.)
- Demonstrable leadership and management experience in health or social care
- Level 5 Diploma in Leadership & Management for Adult Care (or working towards) – highly desirable
- Level 3 Health & Social Care qualification – essential
- Strong understanding of CQC requirements and adult social care legislation
Key Skills
- Excellent leadership, communication, and interpersonal skills
- Ability to build strong relationships with staff, customers, and external partners
- Creative problem-solving and a proactive, organised approach
- A genuine passion for delivering safe, dignified, high-quality homecare
