Registered Domiciliary Care Manager
Location: Widnes, WA8
Salary: £35,910 per annum

Lead a new service. Shape the culture. Build something sustainable. This is a genuine opportunity for an experienced care professional to step into a Registered Domiciliary Care Manager role with real influence. You will take ownership of a newly awarded domiciliary care contract in Widnes, delivering approximately 1,500 hours of care per week, supported by a large, well-resourced national care organisation.

Rather than inheriting legacy issues, you will be trusted to set standards, build the team and establish a strong, compliant and person-centred service from the ground up. The organisation combines national infrastructure, proven systems and sector expertise with a strong emphasis on local leadership autonomy.

The role As Registered Domiciliary Care Manager, you will have full responsibility for the operational, regulatory and commercial performance of the service. You will lead from the front, embedding a positive culture, developing people and ensuring high-quality care is delivered consistently.

Key responsibilities include:

Full day-to-day operational leadership of the domiciliary care service
Recruitment, development and retention of a stable, high-performing workforce
Ensuring safe staffing levels and effective rota management
Accountability for CQC compliance and inspection readiness
Oversight of care quality, audits, safeguarding and documentation
Managing budgets, performance and service growth
Building trusted relationships with commissioners, professionals and families
Creating a values-led culture focused on quality, dignity and outcomes

About you This opportunity would suit an experienced domiciliary care leader or a strong Deputy Manager or Care Coordinator who is genuinely ready to step into registration with the right level of support.

You will bring:

Proven leadership experience within domiciliary care
A strong, practical understanding of CQC standards and regulatory requirements
Confidence managing people, performance and compliance
Commercial awareness and the ability to grow and stabilise a service
NVQ Level 5 in Health and Social Care, or a clear commitment to completing it

Why this role stands out This is not a maintenance role. It is an opportunity for a Registered Domiciliary Care Manager who wants ownership, credibility and the space to lead properly. If you are motivated by building teams, raising standards and delivering care you can be proud of, this role offers the platform to do exactly that.
