Helping Hands was built on kindness and it still guides everything we do today. We’re a purpose-driven team helping people live well in the homes and communities they love. Join us, and you’ll be part of a supportive, ambitious team where your work truly matters, and you can grow a career that counts.

We’re excited to have opened a New branch in Batley, and we’re looking for an experienced Registered Care Manager to lead, shape and grow this service from the ground up. You’ll have the autonomy to build a high‑performing team while being supported every step of the way.

Why This Role Is Different

You’ll benefit from:

• A dedicated Area Care Manager providing hands-on support and regular coaching
• Central recruitment support to help you build your care team quickly
• Established systems, processes, and compliance frameworks already in place
• Specialist teams across Quality, HR, Marketing and Finance
• A structured branch launch and onboarding programme
• Ongoing support from a network of experienced Registered Managers

This is a supported launch, not a standing start.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Lead your branch with warmth and clarity, creating a high-performing, values-driven team where everyone feels supported and able to thrive.
• Ensure every customer receives outstanding care, from regular visits to respite and Live-in services – championing quality, safety, and consistency.
• Maintain full regulatory compliance across your services, driving a “right first time” culture and responding swiftly to improvements when needed.
• Build strong relationships across your community, including healthcare professionals, local authorities, GPs and partners, to grow your customer base and strengthen Helping Hands’ reputation.
• Collaborate closely with internal teams across Operations, People, Quality, Finance and Marketing to deliver great outcomes for customers and our teams.
• Monitor performance, manage budgets, and identify opportunities to improve efficiency, profitability and service delivery.
• Support your Area Care Manager and fellow leaders by sharing best practice and helping embed a culture of excellence across your region.

What You’ll Bring

• Experience in care (Domiciliary Care or similar)
• Strong leadership skills with the ability to motivate and develop teams
• Good understanding of compliance, quality, and safeguarding
• Commercial awareness and confidence managing performance and KPIs
• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills
• A proactive, resilient approach in a fast-paced environment

Desirable:

• Level 5 in Leadership & Management (or working towards)
• Knowledge of CQC standards
• Experience supporting service growth, development, or improvement

Why Helping Hands

• Up to £42,000 salary
• Clear career development pathways and genuine opportunities to grow.
• 25 days annual leave (rising to 27 with service)
• Blue Light Card discounts
• Employee Assistance Programme
• Support towards Level 5 qualification
• Refer-a-friend bonus scheme
• A genuinely supportive, inclusive culture where you can grow
