Homecare Registered Manager

Rotherham & Doncaster

Are you ready to lead two established domiciliary care services and shape what “great” really looks like?

If you’re a confident, values-led leader who understands both the heart and the business of care, this is an opportunity to make a real impact.

Choices Homecare is seeking an experienced Registered Manager to lead our Rotherham and Doncaster branches. This is a high-impact, multi-site leadership role where your ability to build strong teams, drive standards and deliver sustainable growth will directly shape outcomes for the people we support.

Part of Optimo Care Group, Choices Homecare has been delivering award-winning care across the North of England for over 20 years. What began as a single office in Huddersfield has grown into a network of 12 branches, all united by one purpose: enabling people to live with dignity, independence and choice in their own homes.

We combine strong local leadership with group-level support, investment and learning through the Optimo Learning Academy.

As Registered Manager, you will provide leadership across both our Rotherham and Doncaster branches, ensuring consistent quality, compliance and operational performance across two services. You will lead a 365‑day operation, overseeing:

• Safe, high-quality, person‑centred care delivery
• Regulatory compliance in line with CQC standards
• Strong team performance and development
• Sustainable growth and financial stability

This is more than maintaining standards, it’s about raising them.

You will be visible across both locations, building confident teams, strengthening culture and ensuring that each branch delivers outstanding care and operational excellence.

• Take full accountability for branch performance, including quality, growth, occupancy and financial sustainability
• Ensure full regulatory compliance and maintain high standards aligned to CQC expectations
• Lead and develop office and field-based teams through structured supervision, coaching and performance management

• Monitor KPIs, analyse performance data and produce clear reports for senior leadership
• Develop and implement branch improvement and growth plans
• Build strong relationships with service users, families, commissioners and external partners
• Promote a culture centred on dignity, independence and person‑centred care

• Experience as a Registered Manager within a CQC-regulated domiciliary care service
• Minimum 2 years’ leadership experience in health and social care
• Level 5 Diploma in Leadership for Health & Social Care (or willingness to work towards it)
• Strong knowledge of CQC standards and best practice
• Commercial awareness with the ability to balance quality care and operational performance
• Confidence managing multiple priorities across more than one location
• Experience stabilising, improving or growing a service (desirable)
• Excellent communication, organisational and leadership skills
• Full UK driving licence and access to a vehicle

• Comprehensive training and development through the Optimo Learning Academy
• Clear progression opportunities within a growing organisation
• Supportive senior leadership and peer network
• Employee Assistance Programme – confidential wellbeing and practical support
