Job Description:

Registered Manager – Domiciliary Care

Barnsley & Wakefield | Full-Time | £40,000-£50,000 per annum

Lead with heart. Grow with purpose. Make a real difference every day.

At Lotus Home Care, we believe exceptional care starts with exceptional people. We’re looking for a passionate and driven Registered Manager to lead our new dual branch of Barnsley & Doncaster and help us continue delivering Home Care With Love.

The working location for this role is in Wakefield.

This isn’t just another management vacancy; it’s a blank canvas. As we establish our presence in this area, we are looking for a founding Registered Manager to take the reins of this new branch and mould it from the ground up.

• Model Your Own Service: From the office culture to the frontline team, you will have the autonomy to implement your vision of what "Outstanding" care looks like.
• Grow Your Own Team: You won't be stuck with inherited staff issues. You will lead the recruitment, hand-picking a team that shares your values and passion.
• Career Acceleration: This is the ultimate "step up." Successfully launching and growing a branch is the fastest way to prove you’re ready for Regional or Operations Management roles in the future.

Salary & Benefits

• Market-leading salary: £40,000-£43,000 per annum
• Bonus scheme linked to branch performance and targets
• 40 hours per week
• Laptop provided
• 27p per mile mileage allowance
• Blue-Light Card
• Holiday allowance that grows with you – increases by 1 day per year, up to 28 days
• Ongoing training & professional development
• Clear progression opportunities within a growing business
• Supportive senior leadership and a collaborative, caring team culture
• The chance to grow your branch - and your earning potential

Once the hours reach 2,000 between both services, the salary will increase to £50,000, and then to £55,000 at 3,000 hours. Once the target is reached, we will review the salary accordingly. To qualify for any bonuses, the branch must receive a 'Good' rating externally from the CQC and the LA
