As a Registered Manager you’ll manage a team of care workers and/or a care service to ensure your organisation and everyone in it provides high quality care and support.
Managers can work in any social care setting including care homes, supported living flats, in the community and hospices.
Depending on the setting, your role might include:
• Overseeing the day to day running of a care service
• Leading and managing staff so they can perform their roles safely and to the best of their ability
• Managing budgets and contracts
• Making strategic decisions about the future and growth of your care service
• Leading on specific projects or clinical areas, for example setting up a new care service
This is an ideal opportunity to progress from a senior care worker or other social care roles such as a rehabilitation worker.
The core qualification for social care managers is the Level 5 Diploma in Leadership in Health and Social Care. You will also need strong leadership skills and the ability to motivate others. The ability to think strategically to develop your organisation with good project management and organisational skills are also advantageous.
It’s essential that you have the right values and behaviours to work in social care, as you’ll be responsible for managing a team and leading by example.
