About the opportunity
Care Legacy Ltd is looking for an experienced, motivated and approachable Registered Manager to join our established Bentham service.
The successful candidate will be required to apply to CQC and become the Registered Manager for our Bentham location, taking overall responsibility for the quality, compliance, leadership and continued development of the service.
Importantly, this vacancy has not arisen because somebody is leaving.
Our Bentham branch is an established CQC-rated GOOD service, with an experienced management and office team who have worked incredibly hard to develop the service, support our care teams and build the strong foundations we have today.
As Care Legacy continues to grow and our directors focus on other projects and the wider development of the business, we are strengthening our management structure by appointing a dedicated Registered Manager for Bentham.
You will therefore be joining an established service with a knowledgeable and supportive team around you – you won't be starting from scratch.
About the role
As Registered Manager, you will have overall responsibility for the effective management, quality, compliance and continued development of the Bentham service.
You will work closely with our existing management and office team while providing strong leadership to the wider care workforce.
A key part of the role will also be continuing the excellent relationships Care Legacy has developed with local councils, NHS commissioners and other health and social care professionals.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Applying to CQC and becoming the Registered Manager for our Bentham location
- Taking overall responsibility for CQC compliance and regulatory requirements
- Maintaining and building upon the service's existing GOOD CQC rating
- Providing strong, visible and supportive leadership to the team
- Leading, motivating, developing and supporting staff
- Working collaboratively with our established management and office team
- Overseeing the quality and safety of care delivery
- Overseeing assessments, care planning and reviews
- Managing safeguarding concerns, incidents and notifications appropriately
- Maintaining robust quality assurance, audits and governance
- Supporting recruitment, supervision, development and retention of staff
- Maintaining excellent relationships with clients and their families
- Continuing and developing our relationships with local authority and NHS commissioners
- Responding to new care opportunities and supporting sustainable growth
- Supporting the continued development of the service across Craven, Cumbria and surrounding areas
- Participating in the management on-call rota, which is paid separately in addition to your salary
About you
We're looking for somebody who can genuinely lead a team.
You'll need to be confident making decisions, taking responsibility and maintaining high standards, while also being approachable and supportive to the people working around you.
Care Legacy has a friendly and down-to-earth culture. We work hard, support each other and aren't afraid to get stuck in when needed.
We take the responsibility of providing excellent care extremely seriously, but that doesn't mean we can't enjoy coming to work.
We're therefore looking for someone who will respect what's already working, become part of the existing team and bring their own experience, personality and ideas to help us make the service even better.
Essential requirements
- Level 5 qualification in Leadership & Management for Adult Care, or currently working towards this
- Strong experience within domiciliary/home care
- Management or senior leadership experience within adult social care
- Proven ability to successfully lead, motivate and develop a team
- Excellent understanding of CQC regulations and regulatory requirements
- Ability and suitability to successfully register with CQC as Registered Manager
- Strong knowledge of safeguarding and quality assurance
- Excellent organisational and communication skills
- Confidence in making decisions and taking accountability
- Ability to develop positive professional relationships with commissioners, clients, families and other professionals
- Full UK driving licence
- Previous experience as a CQC Registered Manager would be an advantage; however, it is not essential.
We would also welcome applications from experienced Deputy Managers or care managers who have the leadership experience, knowledge and ambition to take the next step and become a Registered Manager.
What we offer
- £38,000–£42,000 per year, depending on experience
- Paid on-call duties in addition to salary
- 28 days annual leave
- Permanent, full-time position
- Established CQC-rated GOOD service
- Experienced and supportive management and office team
- Established local authority and NHS relationships
- Direct support from the owners and wider Care Legacy management team

A little more about us
Care Legacy is an independent homecare provider delivering services across Yorkshire, Cumbria and surrounding areas.
We're incredibly proud of what the whole Bentham team has built together, and this appointment is about strengthening that team as the company moves into its next stage.
We're not looking for someone to come in and change everything for the sake of it.
We're looking for someone who can recognise what already works, provide strong registered leadership, bring fresh ideas and help us continue developing a service that our clients, staff and commissioners can have confidence in.
If you're passionate about great care, aren't afraid of hard work and think you'd fit into a team that takes its responsibilities seriously without taking itself too seriously, we'd love to hear from you.
