Registered Care Manager - New Branch Opening

Salary: Up to £45,000 + potential to earn up to £10,000 bonus 
Location: Esher, Surrey

Be the Founding Leader of a Brand-New Care Branch

We’re opening a brand-new Helping Hands branch in Esher, and we’re looking for a people-focused Registered Care Manager to take the reins. This is a rare opportunity to build, shape, and grow your own service, team, and culture—while being fully supported by one of the UK’s most respected home care providers.

If you’re driven by quality, leadership, and making a real difference, this could be the most exciting step in your career.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Competitive salary up to £45,000 + bonus potential
• Opportunity to launch and lead a brand-new branch
• Autonomy to create your own team and culture
• Long-term career progression with a growing national organisation
• Full support from senior leadership & operational experts
• 25 days holiday (increasing to 27 with service)
• Blue Light Card & retail discounts
• Employee Assistance Programme & wellbeing support
• Recognition schemes & leadership development

Your Role

As Registered Care Manager, you’ll take full ownership of the Esher branch, ensuring it grows into a trusted, high-performing service in the local community.

You will:

• Recruit, develop, and inspire your own team of care professionals
• Register with CQC and maintain full compliance from the outset
• Build strong relationships with clients, families, and local partners
• Drive business growth and increase care hours
• Manage operational performance, quality, and financial targets
• Establish a positive, people-focused culture

This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who thrives on building something from the ground up.

What We’re Looking For

• Proven management experience within a regulated sector (care, healthcare, housing, education, or similar)
• Experience or understanding of CQC standards (desirable but not essential)
• Level 5 Leadership in Health & Social Care (or working towards)
• Full UK driving licence and access to a vehicle
• A passion for delivering person-centred care

Don’t have a care background? If you understand regulation, leadership, and quality, we’d still love to hear from you.

Why Join Helping Hands?

Since 1989, Helping Hands has supported people to live independently in their own homes. With over 150 branches nationwide, we’re more than a care company—we’re a family. You’ll have the support of a Head of Operations, Area Care Manager, and a peer group of Registered Managers across the UK.

We invest in your future with qualifications, leadership training, and real progression opportunities.
