Starting salary: £40,000 per year, with four pay reviews each year linked to branch growth and performance
Location: Solihull
Job type: Full-time, permanent

Run a branch properly — with the freedom to lead and the support to succeed
Enliva Homecare is looking for an experienced and ambitious Registered Manager to lead our Solihull branch. This is not a role where someone from head office will constantly look over your shoulder or tell you how to do your job. We want a capable leader who can take ownership of the branch, build a strong team and deliver excellent care. You will have genuine autonomy to use your experience, judgement and ideas. But autonomy does not mean being left on your own. You will be backed by an experienced Group support team providing specialist help with operations, compliance, recruitment, HR, finance, systems, training and business development.
You lead the branch. We give you the support, resources and freedom to make it successful.
Why Enliva?
Enliva Homecare is part of a growing group of established homecare services across England. We want to become both the care provider of choice and the care employer of choice in every community we serve.
Our culture is built around straightforward principles:
- Deliver safe, reliable and genuinely person-centred care.
- Treat people with respect and make them feel valued.
- Take responsibility rather than passing problems elsewhere.
- Communicate openly and support one another.
- Maintain high professional standards.
- Keep learning, improving and looking for better ways of working.
- Give capable managers the freedom to lead.
We expect a lot from our Registered Managers, but we also invest in them. We give you autonomy, freedom to use professional expertise, visible leadership support, proper systems and resources, aligned values and rewards linked to performance.

Do not just take our word for it.
“Skills can be taught, but kindness, compassion and the right values come naturally. Just as important is creating a workplace where people feel valued. Seeing our Enliva team build genuine friendships who choose to spend time together outside of work tells me we've created a culture where people thrive- and that directly benefits the people we support" from Sophie Green, Registered Manager – Enliva Homecare Plymouth
