Registered Care Manager - New Branch Opening

Are you an experienced care leader ready to build something great from the ground up?

We’re opening a brand-new Helping Hands branch in Salford, and we’re looking for a passionate, people-focused Registered Care Manager to take the lead and shape the future of care in the local community.

At Helping Hands, we’ve been supporting adults of all ages to live independently at home since 1989. With over 150 branches, we’re proud to be a nationally respected brand, but it’s our local teams that make us who we are. Now, we’re bringing our outstanding care to Salford, and you could be at the heart of this exciting new chapter.

What’s in it for you?

• Up to £40,000 per year
• A permanent, stable leadership role with full autonomy
• A rare opportunity to build and shape a branch from day one
• Constant support from our senior leadership team
• Career progression into senior roles as we continue to grow
• 25 days’ holiday (rising to 27 with service)
• Blue Light Card, Employee Assistance Programme, and employee recognition rewards

About the Role

As the Registered Care Manager for our new Salford branch, you’ll lead the launch and ongoing development of the service, ensuring outstanding care is delivered from day one. You'll:

• Hold CQC registration and ensure compliance from the start
• Recruit, develop, and lead a brand-new team of care professionals
• Build strong relationships with customers, families, and local stakeholders
• Drive growth in care hours and build a strong local reputation
• Take full responsibility for commercial performance, quality, and operational excellence

What You’ll Need

• Experience in a management role within the care sector
• Strong knowledge of CQC requirements
• Level 5 in Leadership for Health & Social Care (or working towards)
• Full UK driving licence and access to your own vehicle
• A proactive mindset and passion for person-centred care

Why Join Helping Hands?

We’re more than a care company – we’re a family. You’ll be supported by a Regional Care Director, National Quality Team, Area Care Manager and a peer group of Registered Managers across the UK. We’ll invest in your future with qualifications, leadership training, and real progression opportunities.
