We’re recruiting for a confident, emotionally intelligent Registered Manager to take ownership of a newly acquired 6-bed residential service with adjoining supported living units in Finchley (North London). This full-time, permanent role offers a rare opportunity to set the tone from day one, stabilise a service with legacy challenges, and build a strong, respectful culture that balances compliance with care.

The provider is well-versed in supported living but new to residential care, and the current setup needs calm, consistent leadership. This is a Monday–Friday position with the opportunity to shape the long-term direction of the service. You’ll be backed by a hands-on Director and supported by part-time deputies who need clear, present mentorship.

This is a values-led, people-first service, and your leadership will have a direct impact on culture, credibility, and the CQC trajectory.

Hold operational accountability for the residential and supported living services
Oversee daily care delivery, safeguarding, audits, rotas, and CQC readiness

Foster a respectful, culturally aware environment where staff feel valued
Build relationships with families, QA teams, local professionals, and regulators
Help embed consistent systems and governance with input from a wider team

What we’re looking for:

At least 5 years’ experience in Registered Manager or equivalent CQC-regulated roles
NVQ Level 5 Diploma in Leadership for Health & Social Care (or working towards)
Proven experience in residential and/or supported living settings
Strong understanding of the CQC inspection process, safeguarding, and documentation
Confident mentoring deputies and embedding accountability within a team
Able to manage sensitive cultural dynamics and lead with empathy and structure
Based within a commutable distance to Finchley or willing to travel reliably

In return, you’ll receive:

Salary of £45–55K, depending on experience
Full-time, 40-hour work week
Direct reporting line to the Director
Support from senior leadership during the transition phase
Chance to shape the future of a new residential offering
Genuine opportunity to make your mark as a turnaround leader

This is a pivotal appointment for a care provider at a critical juncture. You won’t just be running a service, you’ll be protecting a long-term investment and building trust across the board.
