Registered Manager

West Sussex

£42,000 + Uncapped Bonus + Outstanding Benefits

Delphi Care Solutions is recruiting on behalf of a confidential, well-established provider seeking an experienced Registered Manager to lead a thriving retirement living community in West Sussex.

Let's be honest. Most Registered Manager adverts talk about compliance, audits and paperwork.

The best Managers know the role is about far more than that.

It's about leading a team that people want to be part of. Creating a culture where residents feel safe, valued and supported. Driving standards whilst maintaining the commercial performance of the service. Having the autonomy to make decisions and the backing of a provider that genuinely supports its leaders.

If you're looking for a role where you can make an impact without constantly firefighting, this could be exactly what you've been waiting for.

The Opportunity

This is a rare chance to join an established service with solid foundations, strong occupancy and an experienced team already in place.

As Registered Manager, you'll have full operational responsibility for the service, ensuring exceptional standards of care, regulatory compliance and resident wellbeing whilst continuing to develop the team and drive performance.

You'll be trusted to lead the service as your own, with the support of an experienced senior leadership team behind you.

Key Responsibilities

• Full operational management of a CQC regulated service
• Leadership, coaching and development of care and support teams
• Maintaining excellent compliance and quality standards
• Safeguarding oversight and risk management
• Resident, relative and stakeholder engagement
• Budget management and financial performance
• Service improvement and quality assurance
• Supporting occupancy, community engagement and growth initiatives
• Creating a positive, high-performing culture focused on outstanding outcomes

About You

We're keen to speak with individuals who can demonstrate:

• Registered Manager experience within adult social care, extra care, domiciliary care, retirement living or a similar regulated setting
• Level 5 Diploma in Leadership for Health & Social Care (or equivalent), or substantial progress towards completion
• Strong knowledge of CQC regulations and best practice
• Proven experience leading, motivating and developing teams
• Excellent communication, organisational and relationship-building skills
• A passion for delivering person-centred care and achieving outstanding outcomes

Whether you're an established Registered Manager seeking a fresh challenge or an experienced Deputy Manager ready to take the next step, we'd love to hear from you.

What's On Offer?

• Salary circa £42,000
• Uncapped performance-related bonus
• 33 days annual leave including bank holidays
• Pension scheme
• Life assurance
• Employee wellbeing support programme
• Ongoing training and professional development
