Some leadership roles are about running a service.
This one is about helping people continue living the life they love.
We're looking for an experienced and passionate Registered Manager to lead a growing domiciliary care service across Southampton and the surrounding areas. This is an exciting opportunity for someone who believes that exceptional care begins with strong leadership, compassionate teams, and putting people at the centre of everything they do.
You'll be joining a service committed to delivering flexible, personalised home care that enables people to remain safe, comfortable, and independent in the place they know best — their own home. The organisation prides itself on providing compassionate, tailored care while working closely with families, local authorities, and healthcare professionals to achieve the very best outcomes.
As Registered Manager, you'll lead the day-to-day operation of the domiciliary care service, ensuring every client receives high-quality, person-centred care that promotes dignity, independence, and wellbeing.
You'll inspire and develop a dedicated team of care professionals, creating a positive culture where people feel valued, supported, and motivated to deliver exceptional care every single day.
This is a role for someone who understands that home care is about far more than completing visits. It's about building relationships, reducing loneliness, supporting independence, and helping people continue enjoying life on their own terms.
Your role will combine leadership, compliance, operational management, and business development.
Leading the daily operation of the domiciliary care service
Inspiring and developing a team of Care Coordinators, Supervisors, and Care Professionals
Creating a positive culture built around kindness, accountability, and high-quality care
Ensuring every client receives safe, responsive, and personalised support
Maintaining full CQC compliance and regulatory standards
Overseeing safeguarding, audits, care planning, and quality assurance
Ensuring care plans and risk assessments are accurate, regularly reviewed, and tailored to individual needs
Driving continuous improvement across the service
Recruiting, mentoring, and developing a compassionate and committed workforce
Conducting supervisions, appraisals, competency assessments, and performance reviews
Supporting staff wellbeing, retention, and professional development
Creating an environment where people feel appreciated and empowered to succeed
Supporting the continued growth of the service across Southampton and surrounding areas
Building strong relationships with local authorities, NHS professionals, commissioners, and private clients
Supporting new care package assessments and successful onboarding
Identifying opportunities to safely increase hours while maintaining outstanding quality
Managing budgets and service performance
Monitoring KPIs and driving operational excellence
Participating in the on-call rota as part of the management team
Ensuring excellent communication between clients, families, office staff, and care teams
This organisation believes that great care starts with listening.
Every care package is tailored around the individual, recognising that everyone has different routines, preferences, goals, and support needs. Whether someone requires companionship, personal care, dementia support, respite care, or more specialist home care, the aim is always the same — helping people maintain their independence while feeling respected, safe, and cared for.
The service also believes that outstanding care can only be delivered by outstanding people. That's why significant emphasis is placed on supporting staff, encouraging development, and creating a culture where everyone feels part of one team working towards the same goal.
Behind every outstanding home care service is a leader who creates confidence, stability, and opportunity.
Someone who empowers their team to provide the highest standard of care.
Someone who ensures clients remain independent, respected, and supported to live life their way.
Your leadership won't simply manage a service.
It will help families feel reassured, staff feel inspired, and clients continue living safely and happily in the place they call home.
We're looking for an experienced Registered Manager who combines strong operational knowledge with compassionate leadership.
You should have:
Previous experience as a Registered Manager within domiciliary care
A strong understanding of CQC regulations and compliance
Experience managing care teams, coordinators, rotas, and service delivery
Strong knowledge of safeguarding, care planning, audits, and quality assurance
Experience developing relationships with local authorities, NHS professionals, and private clients
A proven ability to grow domiciliary care services while maintaining exceptional standards
Excellent leadership, organisational, and communication skills
You'll also be:
Passionate about delivering truly person-centred care
Calm under pressure and solutions-focused
A supportive and approachable leader
Commercially aware with a good understanding of service development
Committed to achieving outstanding outcomes for both clients and staff
£40,000 per annum
Monday to Friday working pattern (9:00am – 5:00pm, subject to business needs)
Participation in the management on-call rota
The opportunity to lead and grow a developing domiciliary care service.
Ongoing professional development and career progression
A rewarding leadership role where you can genuinely make a difference every day.
If you're an experienced Registered Manager looking for your next challenge — someone who believes outstanding care is built on compassion, leadership, and meaningful relationships — we'd love to hear from you.
