Domiciliary Care Manager

Are you an experienced and ambitious Domiciliary Care Manager looking for a genuine long-term career opportunity within a growing and award-winning organisation?

We are building a strong long-term leadership team and are looking for someone who wants progression, responsibility, influence, and the opportunity to grow alongside the business. The Opportunity The successful candidate will work closely alongside our Supported Living Manager, with both individuals operating as Registered Managers within the same location.

This dual-management structure has been designed intentionally to create a stronger, more supportive operational environment.
